LCIS FASO 2/26/21
Hello LCIS Families,
We are so excited to see you all next week for virtual conferences! Conferences will take place Wednesday and Thursday from 12-8pm. Throughout the school year, students at LCIS have been compiling a collection of work in their portfolios that demonstrates their growth toward standards, learning targets, and character habits. Your child will share their reflections on what they’ve learned, explain the growth they’ve made, and discuss any goals they have set for themselves. Your child will bring home their portfolio on Tuesday and we encourage you to sit with them prior to the conference and talk about the items in it. During the conference, you should expect your child to take the lead and explain the learning highlighted in the portfolio. You and the teacher will also have time to discuss academic and social/emotional progress, concerns, and/or needs.
If you haven’t signed up for your child’s conference yet, please use the following link to do so: https://www.flashappointments.com/client/lgn/mobile.cfm?busId=13089

Reading is Awesome!
Ms. Limoges, one of our awesome paraprofessionals at LCIS, is holding a book called “Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge” written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Julie Vivas. In this book, a boy named Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge tries to discover the meaning of “memory” so that he can restore that of an elderly friend. It is a sensitively written and illustrated story about communication. This book has been special to Ms. Limoges since she was a little girl and she loves to share it with the students in the Alternative Learning Program and with 3rd graders at lunch duty. Thanks, Ms. Limoges, for sharing your love of reading with our students!
