Dear Loma Verde Families,

We are already in Week 12, and our Wildcats continue to engage in exciting learning experiences every day! Thank you for your continued support. Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in student success, and we appreciate your partnership in ensuring students arrive at school each day ready to learn.

A special thank you to all the families who joined us for our October Fun Family Friday event. We had an outstanding turnout, and it was wonderful to see so many parents and guardians participating alongside their children. The morning was filled with connection, learning, and fun. We would also like to thank the 33 parents who attended our PTO meeting last Friday. Your involvement and engagement make a tremendous difference in our school community.

As we move further into the second quarter, our calendar is filled with exciting activities and events. We encourage families to check our school blog regularly at lomaverdewildcats.org for the latest news, updates, and announcements.

We also invite you to stay connected by attending parent meetings, participating in trainings, and joining our family events. Your involvement strengthens our school community, and we value our partnership in supporting every student’s success.
