Preparing for SBAC begins now!!!!! December 4 & 5
On December 4 & 5, all 3rd - 8th-grade students will be taking a "mini" SBAC assessment in ELA and Math. The "mini" assessments will support students and teachers in identifying areas of strength and areas to continue to grow in meeting end of year attainment goals.

Scholarly Dress Expectations - January 6, 2020
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".
