Hello Loma Verde Families!

This is the last week of school before our Winter Break! We are excited for our Loma Verde Festive Spirit Week and lots of learning! We wish everyone happy holidays and a restful winter break. Don’t forget students return on Tuesday, January 10 for a minimum day (1:00 dismissal for TK-6th grade).

New Report Cards for Quarter 2

This quarter the district has created a new Progress Report (report card) for reporting grades. There will be a revised rubric utilized by teachers to identify your child’s progress toward the grade-level standards throughout the year. To assist with helping families understand the changes to the reporting process, we will be sending home resources and a parent guide to accompany the updates with the report card. We hope you find the updates beneficial to understanding your child’s academic progress throughout the year. Here is the English Parent Guide to Understanding Progress Reports and Spanish Parent Guide to Understanding Progress Reports . You may reach out to your child’s teacher if you have further questions. Reports will be sent home by the end of the quarter on Friday, December 16, 2022.

CVESD Science Adoption Materials Input

The Chula Vista Elementary School District is in the science adoption pilot process. In a curriculum adoption process, it is critical that as many stakeholders as possible have access to viewing the potential programs and reviewing the print and digital materials. We want to ensure that the curriculum meets the needs of all of our students across the district and helps to prepare our students for 21st-century careers. We welcome input from parents, community members, and staff!

The district’s Science Adoption Committee sorted through nearly 20 different programs and narrowed it down to two good options: Twig and STEMscopes materials are available in the school media center and library. The materials are available there so that staff, community, and family members can have access to the materials easily. Materials will be accessible at our school from Thanksgiving Break until mid-January. If there is a staff member or community member that would like to view all the units from the program, please contact our district Science Coordinator, Marlys Williamson by email at Marlys.Williamson@cvesd.org to schedule a time to view the materials at the district offices located at 84 East J. Street, Chula Vista, CA 91910.
