Report Cards for Quarter 2 Coming Home on 12/19/2025

Dear Families,

Progress Reports (report cards) will be sent home on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the end of the quarter. Teachers use a rubric to show your child’s progress toward grade-level standards throughout the year.

To help families understand the reporting process, we will include resources and a Parent Guide to Understanding Progress Reports with the report card. We hope these updates make it easier to follow your child’s academic growth.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s learning!

Volunteers Needed!

Our school loves Family Volunteers! If you are able to volunteer for any of the events below, please let us know! Contact Elsie Delgadillo or Sugey Alvarado if you can help.

Every Minute Counts!

Did you know that being just 5 minutes late each day can add up to a significant loss of learning time over the course of the school year? Every minute matters—especially in the morning when routines are set and learning begins.

Please take a moment to talk with your child about the importance of arriving at school on time every day. Building strong habits now sets the tone for a successful day and a successful year!

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Line-Up Time: 2nd-6th grade students should be lined up on the blacktop by 7:55 AM. TK-1st grade students should be in the auditorium by 7:55 AM.
  • Start Time: Classes begin promptly at 8:00 AM.
  • Gate Closure: For the safety and security of our campus, all gates will close at 8:00 AM.

After 8:00 AM, students must enter through the office and will be marked tardy.

Let’s work together to help every student make the most of their learning time. Thank you for your continued support!

Gently Used Uniforms Needed

Has your child outgrown their school uniform? The Loma Verde Health Office needs donations of clean uniform clothes to have on hand for children who need to change clothes. If you have any clean children’s uniform shirts, shorts, pants, or skirts that you no longer need, please bring them to the health office. We are also accepting donations of new, packaged underwear for this purpose.

BREAKFAST & SNACKS: FREE breakfast is available for all students from 7:15-7:55. Students are encouraged to bring a healthy snack from home to eat at morning recess. Students may NOT share food at school. All students eat free lunch. Click here to see the breakfast and lunch menus and nutritional information.
