WELCOME OUR NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIAPAL IAN MCCULLEN!!
My name is Ian McCullen. I am honored to join the Linwood Howe Sea Dragon community. I am originally from Whittier, California. I attended Loyola Marymount University where I earned my BA in History. I worked in the private sector for 8 years before returning to LMU where I earned my Masters in Special Education. For the past 11 years, I have been working in the Torrance Unified School District where I served as a Middle School SAI teacher and High School Resource Specialist. For the past 6 years, I have been a Program Specialist for Special Education.
My wife and son work for CCUSD and all four of my children attended Linwood Howe Elementary. My two youngest daughters are now a senior and sophomore at Culver City High School. When we are not on the soccer field, our family enjoys surfing, hiking, cooking and being outdoors. I am excited for this opportunity to serve the staff, students and families of Linwood Howe.

WHY GET "Parent Square"???
Dear Families,
The main reason to get the Parent Square APP is to allow you to get notifications sent directly to your phone. This would be especially important in the case of an emergency. Information about reunification will be communicated through Parent Square.
Rainy Day Pick up plan goes into effect will be communicated through Parent Square. See pick up procedures below.
Rainy Day Pick Up Procedures
Afternoon Pick Up with active rain falling
- TK, Kinder, Rooms 24 and 25 will use Gate #4 (kindergarten gate)
- Older siblings of TK and Kinder students will meet at Gate #4
- 1st-5th will get picked up from glass doors by main office. Adults picking up students will line up in the designated area/line.
- Please be ready to provide your student(s) name AND Teacher. It could be helpful to have your student(s) name and teacher written on an index card or typed into a phone to help staff input the information.
- Office staff will send a note to the classrooms for the students to make their way down. We ask that families step to the side to wait for their students. We need to ensure we have a clear path for students to exit.
- Students in after care programs will be dismissed to their programs directly from class
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE IN ADVANCE AS WE ARE TRYING A NEW DISMISSAL PROCEDURE.
