McNair Eagles News

In looking at our data, it seems we have several families who have yet to complete the Online Data Confirmation. This process not only insures that parent/guardian contact information is up to date, but it also allows the district to gather information to help determine funding. There are instructions below on completing the Online Data Confirmation. For those who have not completed it, we would appreciate it if you could do so. For those who have already completed it, thank you!

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Mrs. Nicole Vertar, M. Ed.

BE PRESENT: Phones down, heads up. Lodi USD is committed to creating connections in the classroom. Starting this school year, students will be expected to keep their phones turned off during the school day - including lunches, breaks, and passing periods - as part of the district-wide initiative to Be Present. This initiative is designed to support a more focused learning environment while encouraging real, in-person connection outside of the digital world.

Please talk with your student(s) about this new initiative and the positive benefits associated with disconnecting during the school day. We believe that this initiative, over time, will support a more focused learning environment and encourage student connection outside of the digital world. You can find more information on the policy, the benefits, and frequently asked questions here.

In accordance with California Senate Bill 3216 and Lodi Unified School District Board Policy 5131,

Cell phones are NOT to be used during instructional hours. More specifically, this means students cannot use cell phones on campus from the time they enter campus until the time they are dismissed, this includes passing period and lunch. When an offense is reported to administration the consequences may occur.

Not Responsible for Lost/Stolen Items

Ronald E. McNair High School/ Lodi Unified School District are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please use caution in bringing expensive or important belongings to school, as they are solely each student’s responsibility. This includes items that are confiscated due to a student’s refusal to follow school dress codes and/or electronic device policies.

If you have further questions regarding this, please reach out to McNair Administration.
