PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Families,

Over the summer, the LGUSD Board of Trustees is exploring renewing local funding for our schools by placing a parcel tax renewal measure on the November 2021 ballot. As the District considers this process, the Board would like parents to take this survey to share your priorities for LGUSD schools. More information about this process can be found at www.lgusd.org/RenewalMeasure. 

We are looking forward to our Daves Avenue Beautification and Bake Sale on Friday. It’s not too late to sign up. For more information, please review the information in the flyer below:

Los Gatos Union School District Parcel Tax That Funds 23 Teachers Is Set To Expire
There are many ways California schools receive funding but only two are under local control: donations and parcel taxes.
For over 30 years, Los Gatos has renewed Measure B, our district’s local parcel tax. While the “purchasing power” has declined over time (due to inflation) the measure still funds 23 teachers.
Measure B is set to expire next year.
The LGUSD Board of Trustees is investigating renewing and increasing Measure B on the November 2021 ballot. To learn more about this process, visit www.lgusd.org/renewalmeasure.

In order to provide to go lunch options for all students we are changing a few details of our meal program that we wanted to bring to your attention.

1) Grab-n-Go lunches will be available for all students at each campus exit gate from MTTHF 11:45-12:15 (elementary) and M-F 10:45-11:15 (middle school). The tables are marked by menu item and students can grab a breakfast snack/lunch to eat at home. These meals are complementary for all students.  

2) Complementary meals are also available for drive through pick up at Fisher. The hours for drive thru have changed slightly and will be open from 11:30-1:00 daily M-F.

3) Any special dietary needs to contact Lupe Pena directly at lpena@lgusd.org

4) We will publish the menu and meal schedule weekly on Wednesdays so that you may plan ahead.
