Call Ahead When Picking Up Student Early

Parents frequently are in a rush when they arrive on campus to pick up their children early from school. It will take time for your child to make their way from their classroom, and even longer if retrieving students from Physical Education. We encourage parents to plan accordingly OR call ahead if they are picking up their child. Please call the front office at 619-560-4809. NOTE: Parents picking up their child during the middle of lunch recess can expect a delay as we locate their child at the lunch court or on the field.

Help Needed with LCFF Forms

Similar Size Schools in SDUSD Receive 14x More Funding Than Correia Middle, as well as PLHS & Dana...Why?



The answer is related to Title 1 rankings. As you may already know, Free and Reduced Price Meal (FRPM) status is used to designate Title I rankings within the district. Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) data collection affects Title I Eligibility/Ranking, and the higher the collection rate, the more funding individual school sites will receive.


Please help Correia Middle and our PL feeder schools! The collection of LCFF data has moved to an electronic collection process. Parents can visit the PowerSchool Parent Portal to access the electronic LCFF Form. We are hopeful this process will allow families to provide the information needed to properly fund Correia Middle in a timely and more efficient manner.


The data you enter will not affect your child receiving free meals at this school as all children will have free access to meals this school year. The LCFF online form is available on the Parent Portal, and NOT on the student’s portal.
