WELCOME BACK!
We want to welcome back all our students and families to the 2019 Fall Quarter. Â The Fall Quarter is always very busy with many activities, so we encourage all our families and students to check our blog frequently.
School begins on Tuesday, October 8.  Please remember that it will be a full day of learning for all students. Kindergarten – 6th grade students begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and will be dismissed at 2:30 p.m.  We look forward to seeing all our Wildcats on Tuesday!
The Kids Heart Challenge – Thank You!
Our school was part of the Kids Heart Challenge on Friday, September 20th. What a fantastic event! Thank you to all the teachers and parents that helped before and during the event to make this day possible for our students. Thank you parents for coming out to the event and cheering on your students while they participated. A big shout out to our amazing 6th graders! We have received so many compliments on how well they coached each station and helped our TK-5th graders! As a campus we raised $1,445 for the American Heart Association. Our school also earns PE/Recess equipment! The more we raise the more we earn! All donations are due by Friday, October 11, 2019. Thank you!
SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL MEETING
Our next School Site Council Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 15th at 3:00 pm in Room 404. We invite all parents and community members to attend. We will share our Comprehensive School Safety Plan and our Single Plan for Student Achievement. We look forward to seeing you there!
Classes with 100% Attendance for the week of September 16-20, 2019:
1st grade Mrs. Polanco Campos
2nd grade Ms. Rincon
Our average daily attendance last week was 97.09%. Our goal is 98%. Be sure to bring your child to school every day and on time. Every minute of every day counts! Attendance is important. It is one of the indicators the state now looks at along with academics and suspensions rates. Please be sure to make vacations plans during the 185 days that your child(ren) are not in school. You can find the 2019-20 and 2020-21 Calendars below.

Parents are welcome to visit Loma Verde classrooms. California State Law (Education Code 49091.10b) requires all visitors, including parents, to report at the office and sign in. Please be prepared to present a valid driver’s license or identification card, upon request, to scan into our computer Raptor system so that a visitor sticker may be printed out. To ensure minimal interruptions of the regular classroom program, Loma Verde requests that parents contact the office and teacher to schedule an observation at least 24 hours in advance and limit the visit to less than one hour, one day a week. If a conference is desired, an appointment should be set with the teacher for a time before school, after school, or when coverage for the teacher can be arranged. In accordance with Education Code 51512 no electronic listening or recording device may be used by any person in a classroom without the teacher and principal’s permission.
