Greetings Lobo Families!

We are One Hart, with our goal to make Every Student...Opportunity Ready!

And we just like that we have 8 days left in the school year. Please help your student continue to make wise choices with how they approach their school work and interactions with other students. We want all Lobos to finish strong!

We have one more week of Library Nights and I hope your student will take advantage of this time and get help, or just time to get work completed as we come to the end of the grading period.

Loss Of Privilege Announcement

With the end of the Year activities coming, we wanted to let families know that the LOP list will be adjusted and if any student has not had an infraction resulting in being placed on the LOP list in the month of May will be removed from the list.

• This allows for students who have not made a poor choice from May 1 to be able to participate in the end of year activities for 7th and 8th Graders.

As a reminder, if a 7th grade student is placed on the LOP at this time, the LOP will continue for the first 2 months of the next school year.

There are so many great opportunities for students and parents listed in this update (including information about next school year and the opportunities available for your student to get involved on campus)

I hope you take the time to read through all of the exciting things happening at La Mesa and Golden Valley!
