Good Evening Dragon Families:

It has been a while--thank you all for being patient while I have been out. I am more than excited to return to campus this week!

A couple things:

1. This week is Spirit Week- please see the dress up days below.

2. Wednesday, Lodi Nutrition Services will be providing Sushi Bowls at lunch--make sure to stop by!

3. Our annual Poinsettia Fundraiser is underway- students will be receiving a printed flyer in their AVID classes. If every family purchases one plant, we can hit our goal without even having to try.

Happy Fall,

Mrs. Vanessa Jara

Principal

"Be Someone. Go Somewhere. Seek Excellence."

For detailed information on spirit days, please see our Instagram!

We are excited to offer four opportunities to attend a Cash for College Night! These events are designed to help seniors and their families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application (CADAA).

Please Note: Students will be charged $5 for each sticker

that is left on their Chromebooks upon return.

We want to bring to your attention the importance of discussing the proper care of district-issued student Chromebooks with your children. We have observed an increase in incidents involving damage, often linked to carelessness or misuse. As we address these situations, we want to remind you of the importance of engaging in discussions with your child about the proper care of their district-issued Chromebook. Students will be held responsible for any damages, and charges may apply for repairs. Principals will conduct thorough investigations in collaboration with students to ensure fair outcomes. Additionally, please remind your students to charge their Chromebooks overnight, ensuring they are ready for the next day's learning activities. Your involvement in these discussions is crucial, and we appreciate your attention to these matters.

Insurance needs to be purchased annually.

Delta College has partnered with an organization known as tbh (short for "to be honest") to provide students with free access to online mental health services.

Tbh offers virtual professional therapy, personal coaching, group support, and digital exercises that can be used whenever needed (on a phone, computer, or from the comfort of your own home).

As tbh tells students, this service is "like a gym for their mental health."

These services are now available and can be accessed from your MyDelta Dashboard!

All of the services are free! All you need to do is sign up by visiting your MyDelta Dashboard and clicking on the tbh tile, which looks like the attached image.

Signing up should take less than 5 minutes. No long forms or insurance are needed.
You are encourage to take advantage of this new service and sign up for tbh today!

Thank you to all our new members, and thank you to those that have given a donation to PTSA, your support is most appreciated!

We will continue to take membership and donations throughout the year. When making a donation, it is best to provide a check directly to PTSA; otherwise, Totem will take a portion of that donation.
