LCIS FASO 4-1-22

Hello LCIS Families!

The first week of spring back at school was great!  Students were energetic and engaged with their learning. We are so thankful that we had Spring Break to get ready for the last quarter of the 2021-2022 school year.  April and May are booked solid with CMAS assessments, field work, sports, and so much instruction!  Thankfully, we have a couple of weeks in June to help us finish strong. 

Yesterday, our 4th graders hosted the March Community Meeting.  They performed a play, complete with costumes, to share their learning about the Revolutionary War.  We were able to hear from the loyalists, the patriots, King George, Ben Franklin, Paul Revere and many more.  The presentation was both educational and entertaining!  Thank you to all of the 4th grade students and teachers who worked so hard to bring us this wonderful Community Meeting.

Please come to the Lake County School District Accountability Meeting! We would love to see you and hear your thoughts!

Spring photos are next Tuesday, April 5th!  Lifetouch will photograph each crew class as a group. There will also be an opportunity to have your child’s spring photo taken in more of a studio setting and pose. You may use the order form that came home with your student, or you can order online at my.lifetouch.com using this picture day ID#:   EVTGCDH3W 

Our state student assessments, CMAS, will take place in April. If you would like to see what these online assessments look like and guide your child through one of them, follow this link to the practice resources on the Colorado Department of Education website. Teachers have been sending homework packets that include CMAS practice items. Be sure to look these over with your child and encourage them to complete this work.

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!

Please see below for our lunch and breakfast menus.  We are committed to being more environmentally conscious by posting the menus on the Friday Afternoon Shout Out and sending home paper copies by parent/family request.  Please let the LCIS main office know if you need a print-out of the menus by calling  719-486-6830.  Thank you!  

Note: all menus are subject to change. 

      There are many exciting events happening in our community every month – too many for us to list on this communication!  Please click this link to access the Community Calendar for upcoming events.
