This is not a spam email. Please update any needed contact information so we have the most current information on file as we look toward welcoming more students back to campus.

Reopening Update
As we get closer to campus reopening, we will provide you with detailed information about schedules and more. You will also be able to virtually attend the next school board meeting on November 16 to hear more about the opening plans. Once that information has been shared, you will be given an opportunity to decide which instructional pathway, distance learning or in-person, is best for your child and your family.

School Site Council - We Need You
Lietz needs additional parent/community members to join our School Site Council (SSC). SSC is a group of staff members and community members who provide consultation during the review and development of the Comprehensive School Safety Plan and Single Plan for Student Achievement. This year, we will focus some of our efforts on the health and safety protocols around our campus reopening. This year's four meetings will be held via Zoom. If you are interested in participating in Lietz' School Site Council, please email me at LopezS@unionsd.org
