Looking for passionate, hard-working, creative, and talented dancers that work well in groups.  Be a part of the distinguished group of dancers that perform throughout the Bay Area!  See Ms. Jones in the dance studio for more information.

SFUSD has launched an exciting new initiative to further improve school food.  Read about the initiative in the attached document.

As part of this Initiative, we are conducting a research project called  the Photo Diary, and would like to include students from your school in the study. The information from the project will be used to design a proposal for an even better school food system. See below for a list of selected schools.

We are asking teachers, afterschool coordinators, health educators and others to help facilitate this project. As a thank you for your support in facilitating the project, we would like to send you a $25 gift card from Amazon.com. 

Students completing the entire process will be entered into a lottery to win an iPad.  Secondary students can either use their own smart phone or digital camera and completing an electronic version of the survey or they can reqeust a disposable camera and printed sheet.

How do I request cameras?

Please email schoollunch@sfusd.edu to request disposable cameras or printed Photo Diary pages (2).  You can also call 749-3604 x13200 to request materials.

Please feel free to email Mark Elkin at elkinm@sfusd.edu with questions.

May 31, 2013 will be a full school day. May 31 had been scheduled as a half day due to budget cuts. However, based on increasing stability in the state’s finances due to Proposition 30, SFUSD is reducing the furlough days scheduled for this year down to only one day. This means that May 31, 2013 will be a full day for students and staff. Next year there will be 180 full school days and no furlough days for staff

The following eight students are the first recipients of Julia Ye Science Scholarships. This scholarship, in the amount of $1,000 recognizes Lowell students who demonstrate great promise for study in a field of science. We are very proud of their accomplishments while a Lowell student and look forward to their future accomplishments. The scholarships are named in honor of Julia Ye '06 who is a co-founder of the Lowell Science Research Program. Julia is currently working on both her MD and Ph.D at UCSF.
