Also, Staples donates 10% of the total order back to Westpark Elementary.

If you would like to purchase these supplies for your child, please follow the instructions on the form to place your order and payment online. The last day to place your order is Friday, May 5, 2016 at 3:00 pm. No orders will be accepted after that date. Only online orders and online payments will be accepted. No checks or cash.

LCAP Funding Survey
The 2017-18 school funding survey, which is part of the 10-month Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) process, is now open. This interactive process helps IUSD identify annual goals, take action on those goals, and measure progress on academic achievement, school climate and parent engagement. Your input is critical to IUSD’s decision-making process and will help guide investments in the District’s priorities.
The survey is divided into three brief sections:
- New proposed actions and investments
- A review of actions, using one-time funding, recommended for extension for one or two additional years
- Open comment section
To learn more about the state’s funding system, including the Local Control Funding Formula and the LCAP, visit iusd.org/LCFF-LCAP/. To view an informational summary of the proposed LCAP actions, click here.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Your engagement, partnership and support continues to enable IUSD to best serve our students.
