The Wildcat Way Nov. 9-13, 2026 (Week #15)

Featured Mrs. Bree Watson

Dear Loma Verde Families,

As Veterans Day approaches, we pause to honor and express our heartfelt gratitude to all veterans within our school community. Your service, dedication, and sacrifice have helped protect the freedoms we enjoy and have shaped a safer future for generations to come.

This day offers a meaningful opportunity to talk with children about the values of service, gratitude, and respect. We encourage families to reflect together on the courage and commitment of those who have served in the armed forces.

To all veterans and active-duty service members in our community—thank you. We deeply appreciate your contributions and the example you set for us all.

Warm regards,
Loma Verde Elementary Staff

Looking ahead…There will be no school on November 23-27, 2026. Students return on November 30 (full day of school).

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!

LOST AND FOUND

Please note that the lost and found rack will be at the front of the school by the office.   Remember to use a permanent marker to put your child’s name on jackets, sweaters, lunch bags, and water bottles.

Gently Used Uniforms Needed

Has your child outgrown their school uniform from last year? 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.

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.
