La Cañada Unified School District

Congratulations to LCUSD’s La Cañada, Palm Crest, and Paradise Canyon Elementary Schools for receiving the 2023 California Distinguished Schools Award!

The California Distinguished Schools Award remains one of the important ways to celebrate exceptional schools, districts, teachers, and classified employees for their innovation, talent, and success in supporting students.

The Foothill Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is pleased to invite you to a parent training on January 17, 2023 from 6:00-7:00 PM via Zoom focused on how to assist children with managing feelings of anxiety.

On Tuesday, November 29, 2022, LCUSD hosted a Family Learning Series entitled “What Matters for College and Career”. The workshop was presented by Jennifer Lindholm, PH.D., Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education & Director, Honors Programs; University of California, Los Angeles. Using research that included perspectives of university students and faculty, and competitive employers, the workshop engaged families in considering approaches to learning, ways of being, and habits of doing, that can help children and youth thrive now and in their future college and career pursuits.

Our food services team is working on updating our systems for point of sale and family account access. Phase one of this upgrade includes a new nutrition website and menu. You'll find the monthly menus as well as nutrition and wellness resources. This menu is also linked in the student and parent portals on the top left of the website.

All schools will again provide free lunch, and now breakfast has been added. Click to read more about the program and times for breakfast.
