LCAP SURVEY
We need your input for the LCAP survey!
It's Time! The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is designed to improve student achievement by setting annual goals for the district in several priority areas. The LCAP addresses the needs of all students, including the specific needs of English learners, foster youth, and economically disadvantaged students.
The annual LCAP survey provides SMUSD parents/guardians, staff, students, and community members the opportunity to share feedback on our programs and services. Your input is crucial in developing the goals, actions, and budget priorities for our district.
Please take a few minutes to complete this important survey. All responses will remain anonymous. Your feedback is appreciated. The survey will close on December 15, 2023.

The LCM Library loves Birthday Book donations!
Many parents have asked how to donate a book, here is a reminder! Books need to be turned into Mrs. Rapo one week prior to flag salute with a note attached indicating the students name. Books turned in week of flag salute will be included in the next month's flag. Books should be new and preferably hard cover as that helps stand up to wear & tear. An Amazon wish list is located on the LCM Library page on our website. Contact Mrs. Rapo with any questions - shannon.rapo@smusd.org. Thank you!
