"The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice."  - Peggy O'Meara                                                         

A Note From Mr. Witherspoon:

The exciting time is coming this month....Parent Teacher Conferences!!!! This is a wonderful time for our team (home and school) to get together to talk about the successes and challenges of our children.  The other important piece of the conference is when parents/guardians work with the teacher to come up with a plan for success.  Please begin to think about any concerns and/or questions that you may have prior to the conference (possibly email to the teacher them before the conference); this will help with the efficiency of the meeting.  

The teachers will with you how they are having you sign-up for a time to meet.

Notes for the Week:

Eagle of the Month is Back!!! We want to recognize students for their SOARing behavior throughout the school year and we do this in form of a monthly assembly.  Any staff member has the ability to nominate students (2) from each class to receive this recognition.  The students will be selected based on their ability to model positive character traits and work ethic that models what it means to be a SOARing Eagle!  Eagles soar high, but our Eagles SOAR higher!  

Take a Walk on the Wild Side: The PTA Walk-A-Thon is currently accepting donations!  This fundraiser was very successful last year because of the passion that our community has for providing our children with the best possible elementary school experience possible!  Thank you for you support of this event!!!   

Breakfast: Just a reminder that students who would like to have breakfast at school may come as early as 8:30. Children who eat breakfast have been shown to work faster and also show improved concentration, alertness, comprehension, memory and learning. Coming earlier ensures students have time to eat breakfast and make it to class on time!

Running Late:  Parents/Guardians are required to come into the building to sign their students in after 8:55 am; this will allow students to begin their academic day sooner.  Thank you for you cooperation!!! 

Recess Notes: 

• Our staffing during unstructured times times of the day (Bus Duty, Lunch and Recess) is very tight. As a school, we can only have adult supervision in a limited number of areas around our school at any given time of the day. Due to these limits, we will not be able to honor parent requests for students to stay indoors during recess. If your child has a medical concern, we will honor a note written by a doctor.

• Our recess policy is that we will go outside as often as possible. Rain and temperatures less than 15 degrees will keep us indoors. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and the activities that they like to do while playing outside.

Health/Safety:

• There are no pets allowed on any LPS property during school hours. Even the friendliest, smallest, cutest, most harmless pets need to stay home.
• Flip-flop shoes are not recommended for school. We have already seen several accidents during recess/physical education this year.
• Visitors should always stop in the office to check in and get a Visitor's Badge prior to entering any area of the school.
• Fever or vomiting students should remain out of school until they are symptom free for 24 hours.
