Mr. Pappas Announcements
Hi Mustang Families,
I want to first thank everyone who donated candy for our Trunk or Treat event along with all the volunteers who decorated their cars. It was such a fun night! I especially want to thank all the staff who helped set up, hand out candy, decorated their cars, cleaned up after or just came to be a part of the fun. A big thanks to Mrs. Dahn and Mr. Deak for organizing the event.
I also want to take a moment to let you know that we are welcoming a new VP to Julia Morgan. Dr. Dave Vujovich. Dr. Vujovich will be onsite on Mondays and Thursdays. Please help me welcome him to the Mustang Family.
Mrs. Arredondo will be moving to Manlio Silva full time until further notice. We will miss Mrs. Arredondo and wish her luck at Manlio.
Mr. Pappas

E Biikes and Electric Scooters
- E-Bike and Scooter Safety
If your child is riding an E-Bike or scooter to school, please review the following information provided to Lodi USD by law enforcement to ensure that your child is following regulations and is riding with safety.
- E-Bikes - There are three classifications of e-bikes. All e-bikes must have an electric motor of less than 750 watts.
- Class 1 and 2: These e-bikes are similar to regular bicycles. They can be identified as pedal assisted with an electric motor that reaches a maximum speed of 20mph. Class 1 and 2 riders must wear a helmet while riding and adhere to the same regulations as regular bicycles.
- Class 3: These e-bikes are pedal assisted with an electric motor that ceases to provide power at 28mph. These e-bikes have age restrictions, riders must be 16 years or older, and must be wearing a helmet at all times when riding.
- Motorized Scooters - Motorized scooters are two-wheeled devices with a floorboard or seat, and are powered by an electric motor.
- Riders of motorized scooters must be 16 years of age or older, and must have a valid driver's license or learner's permit to legally ride. Riders must also wear a helmet.
Please help us keep students safe by ensuring these regulations are followed. Thank you!
