Dear Northridge Families
As we progress through the school year, I would like to take a moment to emphasize the importance of the School Experience Survey and the crucial role you play in shaping the educational environment at our school.
The School Experience Survey is a vital tool that provides us with valuable insights into the experiences of students, parents, and staff within our school community. It serves several important purposes. Your feedback helps us understand what we are doing well and where we need to improve. It is an opportunity for you to voice your opinions on various aspects of the school, including curriculum, safety, communication, and overall satisfaction.
Please take a few moments to complete the survey February 10-April 11 https://www.lausd.org/Page/8397 . Your responses are confidential and will be used exclusively to improve our school's programs and services. Together, we can make a difference in the educational journey of our students.
For a chance to enter to win a raffle send the confirmation to Ms. Valiquette rxv9220@ lauds.net with your child’s name.
Warm regards,
Dr. Sanchez, Principal

School Experience Survey (Feb. 10-April 11)
Attendance On Time & On Target Implementation
Last month we saw an increase in student chronic attendance therefor we will begin a new initiative. Starting March 3, 2025 all students who arrive on time will receive a ticket daily for arriving before the bell rings. They can then use the tickets to buy prizes from the "Tiendita."
I want to thank all of the students who use their Yondr pouch daily, it has made a difference in the classroom and with behavior. If your child does not use the pouch you will receive a phone call daily. If your child does not have a phone contact Ms. Valiquette @ rxv9220@lausd.net she will provide them with a red card so you do not receive daily phone calls.
