LES picture day is tomorrow morning, Friday, August 28!

We had a wonderful first day of school! Our students did a great job learning and practicing routines, getting settled in, and having fun seeing new and old friends. Below are a few important reminders about school arrival & dismissal:

Parents should not walk students into the building in the morning. As we work to establish routines and build independence, please use the drop-off line and allow students to enter on their own. Adults will be outside to help students as needed. If you arrive after 8:05, please park and come into the office to sign your child in.

At dismissal, adults should remain in their vehicles and use the car pick-up line. Please do not congregate around the building, sidewalks, or exit doors. If you want to meet your child outside of the vehicle, they should be a "walker" and can meet you at the intersection of East & South Streets.

When everyone follows these procedures, drop-off and pick-up should be quick, easy, and safe for everyone. If you have any questions, please contact the elementary office. Thank you for your help, and here’s to a great school year!

As we begin planning for the 2026-2027 school year, we want to share an important update regarding classroom teacher assignments. In previous years, students learned their teacher placement before summer break. Beginning this year, teacher assignments will be shared after annual registration is completed in August.

This change allows us to make the most balanced classroom placements possible based on final enrollment numbers, student needs, staffing adjustments, and scheduling changes that can occur throughout the summer. Waiting until registration is complete helps ensure that class sizes and student groupings are equitable and set up for a successful school year.

PowerSchool registration and elementary office will open on August 5. Our office staff will begin assigning registered students to classrooms at that time. As soon as a teacher is assigned, you will be able to view that information directly in PowerSchool. If you have questions or need assistance with registration, please contact the office after August 5 to schedule a time to come in for support.

Field Day is tomorrow, May 21. Due to possible weather and soggy ground conditions, activities have been moved indoors. If you signed up to help, Coach Nichols will direct you to your station within the building when you arrive. Since we will be using indoor spaces only, it will be fairly crowded, so please plan accordingly. Thank you for your flexibility and support as we wrap up another amazing year!
