Panther Cub Families!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had a great week at LCES!  We wrapped up our DIBELS 8 testing this week for those who were absent last week.  We will be sharing overall school results at our Principal Coffee Chat next Tuesday and individual student results with you during our fall conferences.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will host our September community meeting for grades K-2 on Thursday, September 28th from 8:05-8:35.  Parents are welcome to attend.  We will be awarding a student in each crew for the habit of Collaboration.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, September 28th, students in grades PK-2 will have Panther Day in specials classes.  The theme for this month is Fall.  This is a fun day where all the students and specials teachers come together to do activities and crafts related to the theme.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be going over school wide data and sharing more about DIBELS at our next Principal Coffee Chat on Tuesday, September 26th from 9-10 AM or from 6-7 PM in the library and answering any questions families have about how we gather data and use data to help our instruction.  Rolls provided in the morning, cookies in the evening.  We hope holding this at two times will allow each of you an opportunity to attend.  Translation provided.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NED Show:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know we recently hosted an all school event called The NED Show. We trust your student was encouraged by the show which inspires everyone to become Champions at school and in life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NED Show yoyos are still available for purchase to support the free show and message. The sale will run from September 18-28. The order form is below or we have additional copies available. Please use cash or check made out to LCES.<\/strong> If your student has already purchased a yoyo, here is an important link to help them get off to a good start with proper string length adjustment, click here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, here are a couple of our favorite follow up home resources from the Then NED Show website.  You may want to use these with your child as they are designed to go hand in hand with the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
