Dear Lammersville Unified School District Students, Parents, and Community Members,
In 2013-2014, the state of California changed the way it funded school districts. The new model, called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), requires the development of a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) that links spending to specific district goals for student achievement. LUSD's plan describes the school district's overall vision for the students, annual goals, and specific actions the district will take to achieve the vision and goals. The LCAP focuses on eight areas identified as state priorities. The plan also demonstrates how the district's budget will help achieve the goals, assess each year how well the strategies in the plan were able to improve outcomes.
One key aspect of the LCAP process is the engagement of students, parents/guardians, employees, and other stakeholders in providing input and feedback. This is facilitated through a number of committees, including the District Advisory Committee (DAC), School Site Councils, Foundations, PTA's, Professional Learning Community (PLC), Staff Meetings, District and Site English Learner Advisory Committees. These groups review and provide input on sections of the LCAP being developed.
Our next District Advisory Committee Meeting to review LCAP for the 2017-2018 school year is on Monday, January 30, 2017 at 6:30pm in Lammersville Unified School District Office Board Room at 111 De Anza Boulevard, Mountain House, CA 95391. We invite you to attend this meeting and provide your input. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Khushwinder Gill, Assistant Superintendent, at kgill@sjcoe.net or (209)836-7400. We look forward to seeing you at the DAC meeting. Thank You!

Moody's Mega Math challenge is a unique math competition that, since 2006, has provided a pinnacle experience for high school juniors and seniors - demonstrating how the math they learn in the class can be used to solve real problems, make predictions, and provide insight about important topics in today's world. Students must work in a team and under a strict time constraint to interpret the problem and use the math modeling process to answer the questions posed. Check out more information here.
This weekend the speech and debate team (12 girls that were brave enough to try a new adventure!) went to Notre Dame High School, in San Jose! This was a unique debate tournament, as it was an all girls parliamentary debate tournament.
This tournament was designed to connect women, girls and other marginalized gender individuals in debate, and to create a space where they could share and problem solve issues that affect them at all levels of debate and beyond. It began with a moderated forum and then went to a round robin style competition; the girls were able to learn and get feedback from the judging community; as well as win!
Please congratulate the following girls: Julie Trihn and Mina Yi as they were awarded the highest speaker awards in both Varsity and Novice division!!! YAHOOOO!!!!
ALL teams made it to the quarter finals, and due to poise and speaker points, were the "guest judges" for final rounds ... what an awesome honor!
ALL these ladies were amazing ... with (7) rounds of experience ... a 4:00 am leave time and a midnight return time, these beauties balanced life, showed their brilliance by standing up, boldly spoke their mind and constructed cases all the way to victory!! Way to go girls!
MHHS current 9th & 10th grade families are being invited to a San Joaquin Delta College open house December 7th from 4pm-5:50pm in room 301 (Administration Office)

What a remarkable 2016 Marching Band Season! Our children placed 7th in the 1A Division at the WBA Championships competing against the top schools in California. An amazing feat considering this is their first year in the circuit. Congratulations MHHS Mustang Brigade Band, Troy Rexelle, Thu Powell and Arturo Espinoza!
They displayed elegance, talent and professionalism throughout the season. The time and dedication they have invested are astounding - neither the heat on Saturdays nor the cold on Monday nights could stop them from practicing. We are very proud of our children as they behaved like champions. During this Thanksgiving Holiday, there are so many people to be thankful for:
The Lammersville Unified School District for ensuring the Marching Band Program is available to our children and for the support they have extended from funding & providing transportation during competitions to ensuring we have coaches leading our children to success. Our MHHS Principal, Ben Fobert, who is a mentor, a friend and an advocate, and his staff. Our Band Director, Troy Rexelle, and the coaches, Thu Powell and Arturo Espinoza, for sharing their talents and for teaching our children the values of discipline and hard work.
My fellow MHHS VAPA Boosters Board Members (Anne Goodrich, Atul Khanna and Emilie Taylor) and Chairpersons (Roel Magpoc, Sergio Sanchez, Portia Yanga, Luz Mapoc, Pallavi Kharche, Danamer Mercado and Michelle Kurylo), the volunteers and donors (you know who you are) for the countless hours, energy and resources you have given wholeheartedly.
Indeed, this was an extraordinary experience to witness and to be a part of as our children fulfilled their dreams and journeyed “Into the Clouds” ...
This year's County Science Fair is in February of 2017, and students are getting started to participate.

On November 7th the Medical Interventions class traveled to San Joaquin Delta College to meet instructors and view post secondary options. The trip was sponsored through a grant that the College has received. The first stop was a meeting with Tara Gallegos who is the San Joaquin Delta College Marketing and Outreach Specialist. She provided the students with an overview of the college. She provided students with information packets providing areas of study and explained avenues of study available (certificate and associate programs). An important point she made was about how the first two years of college can be done much less expensively at Delta College and then students can transfer to a four year university to finish their bachelors degree. From there the students traveled on to see three specific programs.
The first program visited was the Health Science program. Students met with Professor Allison Pieretti. She discussed the health science programs including the nursing program. The students were then able to use the life sized mannequins that are used to develop skills. The mannequins had pulses which could be felt or heard through the stethoscope. They also talked and cried and had medical emergencies like seizures. The technology was very impressive. Professor Pieretti also discussed how students head into medicine after starting at Delta College.
The next stop was the Engineering Lab. There students learned about engineering pathways through Delta College including a special program that guarantees admission into the University of Pacific's Engineering program. Students viewed a demonstration testing the strength of steel which was startling when the steel broke.
The final stop was at the Electron Microscopy program. Students viewed the huge microscopes, saw students working with them and viewed the amazing photos taken by the microscopes. This program is one of only two in the country at the community college level.
It was a fantastic tour and MHHS will be returning on November 17th with the Human Body Systems students who will see all of the above plus the Speech Pathology Program
Our District RN recently obtained access to the California Immunization Registry. The Immunization Registry permits the sharing of a computer record of your child’s immunization and TB screening tests no matter where they are given. At any time you, your doctor, or District RN can see what immunizations/TB Tests your child has received and which immunizations are needed now. It will be used by the District RN on a case-by-case basis to obtain proof of a child’s immunization status when updated doctor paperwork has not been provided by parents.
The information contained in the Immunization Registry is confidential and will only be viewed by the District RN. If you DO NOT give consent for the District RN to search for your child on the Immunization Registry if the need arises, then please contact Amy Isler, District RN at 209-836-7230 x2223 or aisler@sjcoe.net. For more information on the California Immunization Registry please visit http://cairweb.org/.
In order to continue to improve our instructional programs we are seeking parent feedback regarding homework at MHHS. If you are a parent please take a few minutes and complete our Parent Homework Survey.
