“We see open, candid conversations as an essential part of our commitment to continuous improvement and the cycle of innovation. This season is about strengthening connections between our staff, families, and community while exploring how we can collaborate to enhance and refine our efforts in supporting student success,” said LBUSD Superintendent Jason Viloria, Ed.D. “This year, we're focusing on communication that helps parents stay connected to their child's learning, from foundational support in early education to navigating the challenges of middle and high school, so they can celebrate successes and provide support when needed.”
