La Cañada Unified School District

Each year, we value your feedback as we work toward achieving our four major district goals through the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). This year marks the first in our new three-year cycle, and as we prepare for the 2025-26 plan, your input as our educational partners is important to us.


LCUSD’s LCAP is built around four district-wide goals, each supported by targeted actions and services to track progress and measure outcomes. To ensure these goals reflect the needs of our community, the LCAP committee has launched a series of “roadshows” with various educational partner groups to gather insights and ideas.


In addition to these in-person discussions, we have created a brief survey to collect feedback from parents, staff, and students. Your participation will help shape our district’s priorities and guide our efforts in the coming years.


We invite you to take a few moments to complete the 2024-25 LCAP Survey and share your thoughts on how we are progressing in each goal area. The survey is open until Sunday, January 19, 2025

Please check your email for a link to take the survey.

La Cañada Unified School District is excited to announce the search for our next Superintendent. We are seeking a dynamic leader who embodies the values of our community and is committed to fostering student well-being and academic excellence. This important process will involve collaboration with staff, families, and community members to ensure we select a leader who will continue to support our mission of providing an exceptional educational experience for every student.

As a reminder, campuses are closed until we welcome students back on Tuesday, January 7th.

Parents and families are invited to participate in focus groups addressing important elementary school topics. Discussions will include collaboration days, special programs such as art, music, library, and computer, as well as the early bird/late bird program for grades 1–3.
