LCIS Friday Afternoon Shout Out 4/10/26
Hello LCIS Families,
We’d like to start by giving a huge shout out to you for helping your child get to school every day this week ready to test. We had an average of 96% attendance, some of our highest this year, which was fantastic for testing! Thank you for your support!
It was impressive to see your children in testing mode this week. They were focused, took their time, and used their scratch paper to problem solve. Our teachers gave our countless Perseverance Habit Tickets to students following their testing sessions. All tickets will be entered into a drawing for a spring trip to see a Rockies game in Denver. We will hold our drawing during our next community meeting on Wednesday, April 29th.
Testing continues next week for our third graders who will take one math assessment each day, Monday-Wednesday, and our fifth graders will take their final science assessment on Monday. Our fourth and fifth graders have completed their assessments. If your child missed a day of school during testing, we will be working to get them caught up before the testing window closes on April 24th.
Upcoming:
If your child participated in a BOCES Enrichment Infusion Course this spring, they may have been invited to attend the “Avalanche Cabin” Escape Room at Mountain Time Escape Room in Breckenridge as a reward for their participation and perseverance in their course. The field trip will take place on Thursday April 23 from 9:30 to 1:30. A permission slip with more details has been sent home on Tuesday, March 31. We are hoping to have the slip signed and returned to Mr. Doug by Monday April 13th.
Please reach out to Doug Smith dosmith@lakecountyschools.net or Cheryl Talbot ctalbot@lakecountyschools.net 719-293-0106 with any questions.
Rockies Rock Summer Camp – Enrollment Open! Join Get Outdoors Leadville for an unforgettable summer of outdoor adventure, confidence-building, and connection with nature. See the flyer below for more information.
Homework- IXL:
IXL homework dropped off this past week likely in response to state testing. Please encourage your child to get back into the homework habit. Even 20 minutes a day can make a positive difference in your child’s academic performance.
