La Costa Meadows Elementary School
Weekly Dolphin Blast
Week of September 25, 2022
We loved having TK, kindergarten, second, and fourth grade families on campus for lunch last Friday. Our students enjoyed being able to share a portion of their school day with their families. Thank you, PTO, for organizing such a fun event for our students! First, third, and fifth grade families, your special day is coming up soon!
This year’s SMUSD Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) will continue to focus on creating and implementing a rigorous core instructional program based on state standards; providing support and interventions for students needing academic and/or social-emotional support; and broadening resources, programs and partnerships to engage students. In order to strengthen our commitment to these goals, we ask that you take a moment to complete this brief survey no later than Wednesday, September 28th, so we can strategically design a plan to meet the needs of all of our Dolphins! Thank you in advance for your participation in the survey.
