LCES Parent Update 2/11/2022
LCES Families,
We had a great week at LCES this week. Students were engaged in learning and enjoyed the sunny weather on the playground. It is so much fun to see how much students are learning and growing every day. Students in Ms. Bridge’s Kindergarten class were teamed up to practice their blending and high frequency words this week while students in Ms. Curry’s 1st grade art class worked on symmetrical drawings.
Valentine’s Day Plans
Our Valentine’s Day celebration will consist of a Valentine-themed “Panther Day” during Specials in the morning. Students may also share Valentines with their classmates during a designated time within their classroom. If you would like to send cards, please have your child write their own name in the “from” part, and leave the “to” line blank. Cards need to be pre-written. For confidentiality reasons, we are not able to send out a class list. The number of students in the class is written below. In accordance with the Healthy Schools initiative, please do not send candy, food, or edible treats.
There is no expectation that students bring Valentine cards – it is an option for your family. We will have a nice time appreciating one another’s friendship regardless. Kids love non-food items. If you wish to send something with your Valentines, here are some ideas: bubbles, stickers, tattoos, erasers, pencils, bouncy balls, silly straws, etc. Please make sure these are individually wrapped for the number of students listed below.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher. Thank you for your partnership!
Sincerely,
The Lake County Elementary School Staff
PBIS dollar day ~

Dr. Seuss Literacy Week!:
We will be celebrating literacy week with some fun activities. February 28th-March 3rd we will have dress up days, free book drawings, activities in specials, and I heard that the Cat in the Hat will be joining us one day too! We are excited to share the joy of reading with our students.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Dear Parents and Guardians of Lake County Elementary School K-2 Students,
Our parent-teacher conference time is drawing near and we are making plans for this event. This year our conferences will be held on Wednesday, March 2 and Thursday, March 3, from 12:00-8:00pm. On these days, students will attend school until 11:00am. We will dismiss at 11:00 am when buses will run their regular route and parents can pick up their children. Each appointment will be 30 minutes long. We will honor our health precaution of requiring everyone to wear a mask inside the building.
We will be using the same on-line appointment system as we did in August and October for our conferences. This allows parents to pick a time that is best for their busy schedules and request interpretation, if needed. We encourage you to schedule your children’s appointments back-to-back if you wish.
Please follow the link below and pick the best date and time for you to meet with your child’s teacher. You will receive a confirmation email – if you do not receive the confirmation email, please check that you have completed all of the steps in setting up your appointment.

It is fundamental that we get to meet with every student’s parents to talk about our important partnership in your child’s education! Please make this appointment by Friday, February 25, so that our teachers can prepare for your conference.
We very much appreciate you attending conferences and arriving at your appointment on time. We have so much to share during our 30 minute appointments! It is a time in which we can talk about the social, emotional, and academic growth of your child and our strong partnership sets him or her up for the success they deserve!
If you cannot make one of these conference times, please reach out to your classroom teacher directly to make an alternative appointment.
Mark Your Calendars:
- No School Monday, February 21st. We do have school Friday, February 25th.

Mobile Learning Center
The Mobile Learning Center is an initiative geared toward providing high-quality learning opportunities for students of all ages. It is a learning environment housed in a repurposed LCSD bus that will bring school and community resources directly to students and parents. The bus is refurbished to provide free internet, a small library, academic support, tutoring, technical assistance, and community resources. Please email the MLC Coordinator or your LCES Mobile Learning Success Committee representatives if you have any questions!
