GATORS "create" new learning understandings with Technology
Throughout our school district, Superintendent Steinhauser has made available to all schools a process for giving away "refurbished Chromebooks" to families to use at home supporting their child's access to the technology online programs that are used at school. Technology is used daily for all content areas at Gompers.
2. Every family who attends their child's parent conference will receive an "additional entry" into the raffle for the opportunity to receive a "FREE CHROMEBOOK" to use at home.
65 Chromebook giveaways to families
If you are interested in entering into the technology give away raffle; please complete this form.

Family winners will be announced the week of November 18.

Scholarly Dress Expectations - Notices to Non Adherence Begin
As discussed in August at the Orientations and Back To School Night, Scholarly dress is the expectation for Gompers Students.
I am saddened that the number of students not in the daily scholarly dress expectations is increasing. LBUSD is a uniform district for students in grades K-8, since 1994.
Please ensure your student(s) are in scholarly dress each day as they walk through the "gates of success".
Notices for noncompliance will begin.
CROSSWALKS are to be used at all times for pedestrain safety. Use them it is not safe to cross without
