LV Primary Parent News

Primary Bears,

Beginning of the year testing is almost complete. For our first progress reports of the year, teachers will send home screening and testing results. The results help guide small group instruction and goals for your child.

Reminders:

• At dismissal, we ask that you leave your car tag visible until your child is in the car. This is an added safety procedure.

• For communication, our teachers are using Rooms. If you have not signed up or joined, you are missing valuable information. Please email your child's teacher if you still need help with Rooms.

Finally, this week our full time School Resource Officer was on staff. Each campus at LVISD has an officer for added protection assigned daily. We are thankful for the continued focus on student safety first.

Have a wonderful day! Spirit ribbons and stickers for sale tomorrow (Ribbons change each week to match the team we are playing). Go Bears Go!

Sincerely,

Shelley Keck
