Seniors
Students and Parents:
Senior prank season is upon us, so there are a couple things that we need to keep in mind. Under no circumstances should a prank damage any property, have the potential to hurt any people or animals, or be in violation of education code. A common prank involves squirt guns or water guns. These, along with any imitation fire arm, are not to be brought to school. Any pranks or ditch days are not school sponsored events, although the intentions may be for fun, there can be serious consequences.
Seniors who participate in graduation
Seniors who participate in graduation must meet Lodi USD graduation requirements and demonstrate good school behavior. Students suspended from school may be placed on a 45-day social probation. Students can also be placed on social probation for excessive tardies. This means students put on social probation within 45 school days of graduation and graduation practice will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony or other activities. (Board Policy 6145)
We are 19 days from graduation.
