Hello Beckman Families,

I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable summer break. On behalf of our Vice Principal Ms. Luna and our staff, we extend a warm welcome to all our students and families to 2026-2027 school year. As the new principal, I am honored and excited to serve in a dynamic, collegial community which supports social and academic excellence of all students. I am looking forward to building a positive relationship with all of you through clear communication and a caring attitude. I believe in collective vision and goals where each and every student will succeed with happiness which is established by creating a learning environment where the whole school community feels safe, supported, and respected.

Beckman celebrated an outstanding 2025–2026 school year, and I am excited to build on that success as we begin another year of learning, growth, and achievement. Together, we will continue to foster a positive school culture where every student can reach their full potential.

Thank you for your partnership and trust. I look forward to welcoming our students back to campus and meeting many of you in the coming weeks. Here's to a wonderful 2026–2027 school year!

Sincerely,

Ben Koh

Beckman Elementary Principal

We are Respectful, Responsible, & Safe

Universal free meals will be offered at no cost to any student enrolled in the Lodi Unified School District, when they are in attendance. The California Universal Meals Program will provide students access to breakfast and lunch during each school day free of charge regardless of their income or eligibility. No application is needed for meals, but we do request that you complete a Household Family Survey or Parent Data confirmation in Aeries to help qualify your school for supplemental program funding. Students are welcome to bring their home lunch as well.

Lodi Unified participates in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, as well as the Child and Adult Care Food Program for after school meals.

As we prepare for the first day of school, we ask that you take a few moments to review the Student and Family Handbook with your child. The handbook contains important information about homework expectations, behavior conduct and support, and other guidelines that help us maintain a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment. Thank you for your partnership and support. We look forward to a wonderful school year filled with learning, achievement, and memorable experiences.

We encourage all students and families to review our school's dress code thoroughly. Our aim is to maintain a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where students can focus, learn, and thrive. It is also highlighted in our Parent/Student Handbook.
