The top three earning classes so far are: Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Perrson, and Mrs. Perry — but keep up the work because Mrs. Silveira, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Weist aren’t too far behind.

Our Custodian, Miss Mary, is retiring!

Our amazing daytime custodian, Miss Mary, will be retiring on Friday, March 31. We cannot thank her enough for her extraordinary contributions to our campus community! However, we would like to give our labrador families the opportunity to donate to a school-wide retirement gift! Your donations will go toward various gift cards local to her new home in Kansas.


If you wish to make cards or write letters of thanks, we will collect them to present to her on her last day. There will be an envelope in the office. Drop it off with Erin or Revecca, and they will be sure to put it in our envelope for Miss Mary. Donations, cards, and letters will be collected through Wednesday, March 20.


Online donations can be made by clicking here:

Please join us in celebrating our custodian, Ms. Mary, and her retirement by dressing up like minions or wearing yellow and/or blue on Wednesday 3/29.

Portola & Enos Crosswalk Improvements & Construction

We are pleased to let our Lawrence community know that the Portola and Enos crosswalk project is now at 95% design, with the final design to be completed this month. The construction phase is tentatively set to begin in April and finished by September of 2023.


This safer crossing and flashing beacons will help to slow down traffic along Portola, while improving the safety and visibility of our walking and rolling community. If you are a resident within a 1/4 mile of the crosswalk, you will also receive a fact sheet from the City as a part of their community outreach within the next two weeks. Please also take a look at the project here on the City's website.

Thank you for the many efforts from our community members who have helped advocate for this crosswalk enhancement, LVJUSD Trustee Kristie Wang, the Livermore City Council, the Livermore Police Department, the Livermore Engineering Department, and Alameda County Safe Routes to School.
