LCES Parent Update 3/11/2022

LCES Families, 

We had a great week at LCES!  This week, our Kindergarten classes were able to participate in a snowshoeing expedition in partnership with GOL!  Students snowshoed in Ice Palace Park and explored the different trees in the area, connecting their time outdoors with the learning they have been doing in the classroom.  Here are some highlights from that time:

Starting next week, our 1st grade students will also be participating in snowshoeing or nordic skiing as a crew building activity.   Please look for information coming home on these activities in students Thursday folders. 

Class picture day will be held on Wednesday, March 16th.  Be sure to check your student’s Thursday folder for an order form. 

Mark Your Calendars:

• March 16, 2022: Class picture day. 
• March 21-24: Spring Break, No School
• March 30th – Lock down Drill
• March 31: March Community Meeting 8:10-8:40.  Parents are welcome to attend! 
• April 14th: Celebration of Learning 6:00-7:00 PM
• April 28th: Joy of Reading Literacy Carnaval Night (Details to come!) 

Again, thanks for a great week.  Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Rockies Rock 2022!

Dear families,

With spring fast approaching, the GOL! team is working hard to bring you another awesome summer of Rockies Rock Adventure Camp. We write to share some important dates and updates  to this summer’s program.

Important

dates:

April 18th – Open enrollment begins (there will be a two-week open enrollment period)

May 2nd – We will start confirming admission and filling spots

Important

update:

After much discussion and consideration, we will be shortening camp by two weeks to better align with the LCSD summer break. This new schedule will make it more possible for LCSD staff to work at camp, thus helping us address a camp staff shortage. The resulting four week schedule will allow us to put our best efforts into creating magical experiences for your kiddos, while also providing LCSD staff with some much-deserved time off.

Rockies

Rock 2022 Schedule:

Session 1:

July 5th – 14th (due to the July 4th holiday, the first week of camp will run

T – Fr)

Session 2:

July 18th – 28th

We appreciate your understanding and support, and hope this announcement gives you ample time to plan your summers accordingly!

Best wishes,

and warm thoughts of summer,

The GOL! Team
