Grade School Drop Off
Parents, in order to get our drop off line moving more quickly, we would like to start having the cars pull to the crosswalk and the front 4-5 cars drop off at the same time. If your child would then walk straight to the building through the parked cars onto the sidewalk we will be able to get the kids in the building more efficiently. We will be helping with this each day this week to see if this alleviates the congestion of the drop off line. Thank you for your continued help and support!
We made words using the letters in Thanksgiving it Title 1 today!
We made Thankful Turkeys to show what we, in 1A, are thankful for this year. They had so much fun creating these! Have a safe and fun Thanksgiving break everyone!
Supporting your child’s education means more than just computer troubleshooting. In particular, parents and caregivers have faced challenges when it comes to fostering social emotional learning (SEL) while still supporting traditional academic learning.
The LTC SPARK program has created a self-paced course for parents & caregivers. In this course, written by SEL educator and coach Abby Lyons, participants will learn how to develop learning spaces at home, support student engagement, and encourage self-regulation. Parents and caregivers will also walk away from this course with the skills needed to manage their own social emotional well-being – no matter what challenges remote learning throws at them.
Sign up for “Parenting in a Pandemic” today and begin working toward completing this engaging new course at your own pace.
