Dear Families,
San Jose City Council instructed the San Jose Department of Transportation (SJDOT) to study street safety outside every K - 12 school in the City following the tragedy near Castlemont Elementary in the Fall of 2022.
Like all other school principals in the City of San Jose, I have been asked to gather community feedback and provide the feedback to SJDOT. I will submit feedback gathered through this Google Form on behalf of Lynhaven Elementary School.
City of San Jose School Street Safety Survey: https://forms.gle/MAWDmKRgcPYsf7Y66
SJDOT will review and summarize the survey results from all schools who submit feedback, prepare a citywide school safety workplan and a cost estimate for the San Jose City Council to consider as part of the upcoming budget process. If a school safety program is funded, SJDOT will outreach to the schools in Fall 2023 to identify next steps. It is important that your school's input is shared in this survey as we strive for further traffic safety improvements at and near all San Jose schools.
Please complete by Monday, March 20th.
In partnership,
Mrs. Callaway-Wilson

Dear Families,
We are proud to share that we received our AVID Certification Status Certificate for 2022-2023 in today's mail. While we shared our certified status earlier this year, it is still very special to have the "artifact" of this accomplishment.
We also received a letter with the following message:
Congratulations on being recognized as an AVID Elementary Certified Site for the 2022-2023 school year. This status is awarded to sites that have met AVID's implementation expectations and submitted required data documentation that supports program effectiveness and student progress. This certification process is designed to assist AVID sites in achieving desired benchmarks that are precursors for academic success in middle school.
We applaud you for your diligence in attaining this achievement, and we look forward to your continued leadership in providing quality education for all students.
We hope that you will help us to again celebrate this recognition of Lynhaven's strong culture of teaching, learning, and belief in every child's potential.
In partnership,
Mrs. CW and Mrs. Ramirez
