Greetings LTUSD friends and families,
It feels like spring might be arriving early this year. While we may still get a little more winter, the warmer days have been a great reminder of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place. I’ve been able to get out for some skiing and hiking lately, and I hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy the outdoors as well.
Tomorrow evening, the Lake Tahoe Community College and LTUSD Boards will come together for a joint meeting to talk about our partnership and the future we are building together for our students and community. We invite you to join us at 5:00 p.m. at the LTCC Board Meeting Room (L104), One College Drive in South Lake Tahoe.
We are also excited about our upcoming State of the District on March 18 and hope many of you will attend. You can find more details in this newsletter.
Thank you!

South Tahoe Middle School students recently visited the Keep Tahoe Blue Education Center, where they participated in engaging hands-on activities and learned about the threats facing Lake Tahoe. Students also explored ways they can help protect the lake and become Tahoe Blue Do-Gooders. 💙
Thank you to the Keep Tahoe Blue team for helping inspire the next generation of lake stewards.
