LCIS Friday Afternoon Shout Out 3-21-25
Hello LCIS Panthers,

Remember: Wednesday and Thursday are half days for students due to conferences. School still begins promptly at 8 with our doors opening at 7:30. Students are dismissed from LCIS on a half-day at 11:15.
The Scholastic Book Fair will be at Lake County Elementary during conferences!

LCIS Panthers continue to crush their ELA and Math skill on IXL.
IXL Spring Break Challenge Winners!
21 students completed at least one hour of math and one hour of ELA over the Spring Break. These students have been invited to a sledding celebration at Dutch Henry Tubing Hill on Tuesday, 3/25, afternoon.
I’m Here For It!
Grade levels will be competing to see which class has the highest percentage of attendance for the month of April. The grade level with the best attendance will earn Free Play Time. Those students from the winning class who are at school every single day in April will also be invited to enjoy an exclusive, sugar free treat. So, set your alarms, show up every day, and win some free time with your friends!
| Our attendance numbers are starting to inch back up. We’re always looking for 93% or higher in each grade level. With our state assessment approaching in April, we’d love our students to be in the habit of being at school every day. This will help them prepare for the assessments and build stamina for completing academic work. | Weekly Attendance Numbers 3rd 89.75% 4th 92.23% 5th 91.94% 6th 93.17% |
