LCES Family Communication 5/5/23

LCES Families,

Thanks for another great week at LCES. This week students engaged in their End of Year Acadience Reading Testing. This test shows us students’ levels in reading and helps us plan for how to support your student in the classroom. A report of this testing will go home with your child with their final report card at the end of the year.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who are helping show appreciation to our teachers and staff this week.

Kindergarten Pre-registration

Kindergarten Pre-Registration is open. If you have an upcoming Kindergartener who will turn five by October 1st, 2023, use the QR Code on the flier in order to give us your name and student information so that we can be sure to send out a registration packet to you in July. If you know of anyone in the community with kiddos who will be entering Kindergarten next year, please help us share this information.

If you have a student who is going into Kindergarten next year, join us on June 1st for our Ice Cream Social. We are excited to meet you and welcome you into our kindergarten community.

Art Show!

Mark your calendars for the LCSD Art Show! On May 18th from 5-7, come see the amazing art created by students in grades PK-12 and create some art of your own at the activity booths. Please note that activities cost between $1-$6 as this is the biggest fundraiser for our art department. Click here for more information!

Upcoming Events and Field Trips:

We have a lot of events and field trips planned for these last weeks of school. Please check the “This Month at LCES” for days that these are scheduled and be sure to be checking your students Thursday Folders for information coming home for grade level specific events. If you have any questions, please reach out to the front office or your student’s teacher.

Thank you all for a great week! As we near the end of the school year, we have a lot of planned activities and field work trips for our classes. Please be looking for information in the coming weeks on these events.

English Language Development (ELD) Curriculum and Spanish Acquisition Curriculum:

We are pleased to begin moving forward with the selection process for an English Language Development (ELD) Curriculum and Spanish Acquisition Curriculum. We are forming a team of educators to complete this work. The team will begin meeting in early May.

We will continue to keep you informed on this process and gather your feedback at appropriate times. We value your insight and appreciate the opportunity to work with you. Please be on the lookout for our community feedback and question/answer sessions that we will be hosting. During these sessions we would love to have our community’s feedback on the ELD and Spanish curriculum.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to Lorena Walker (lwalker@lakecountyschools.net)
