La Mesa Update
September 5, 2021
Hello La Mesa Families,
This week we have no school on Monday in honor of Labor Day. Also, you will be able to access your child's quarter 1 progress report on the following Monday, September 13th by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. We encourage you to check the portal often to see where your child is academically.
Sincerely,
Michele Krantz
Principal

Personal Device Policy Reminder
We can't even begin to tell you how wonderful it is to see students interacting at brunch and lunch rather than having their heads in a phone. Students are more focused in class without have to be distracted with a buzzing phone in their pockets.
We also understand that there are times when you need to connect with your child. They can come to the office to use the phone or ask a teacher to use the classroom phone. If you need to reach your child, please call the school and we will get a message out to them for you.
Your support is appreciated. Since implementing this policy, our negative issues associated with phones, including bullying and conflicts, have decreased dramatically.
Check our www.awayfortheday.org for some interesting research on students and phone use.
