Get your pictures in the yearbook! We are asking you to share photos of your student doing the things that got them through this challenging year, such as the first day of school (in person or online), learning from home, spending time with siblings, playing with pets, reading, etc. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific yearbook! Please email picture to Tara Roeder at roeder_tara@svvsd.org by Friday, March 5th. Thank you!

We have recently had some safety concerns with our parking lot and drive through lane. Please remember to follow all safety rules while dropping off and picking up students at LEE. Below are some safety reminders:

1) Drive SLOW through the parking lot and drive through lane
2) Have PATIENCE with students crossing
3) STOP at the crosswalks to allow students and parents to walk through
4) NO PARKING in the drive through lane (aka Hug and Go Lane).
5) DO NOT leave your car running while unattended.

Please remember the lane closest to the school is for drop off only. No parking is allowed in this lane in order to provide student safety while being dropped off. Thank you for keeping safety a #1 priority at LEE.

As a reminder, students will line up outside in the morning and will go outside for recess as long as the wind chill temperature is 15 degrees or above. Please make sure to double check the weather in the morning to dress your students accordingly.

In anticipation of upcoming events like musical performances, the District Art Show, classroom celebrations and more, please take a moment to indicate whether or not you would like your child to participate in virtual events. Please fill out the permission slip on Infinite Campus. Click here for directions.

Hello Families of Longmont Estates Elementary School! We are so excited to bring the St Vrain Mobile Lab to our school, Friday, February 26th. The Mobile Lab is hosting the Design Guild for Students, an opportunity for our students and families to engage in STEM practices, the design thinking process, and hands-on fun. Here’s how it works: Bring your child/ren to school on Friday, February 26th between 9:00-11:00am. Visit the Mobile Lab in the Hug and Go Lane to enjoy STEM Stations and receive a Design Challenge Workshop to do at home.

• First 100 LEES students receive a Design Kit filled with fun prototyping materials

• Children must be accompanied by an adult

• Mask wearing, social distancing and other safety measures will be implemented. Please be prepared to follow these protocols.

This week our 3-5th grade students jumped back into our Code.org work to refresh our memories about programming. Students in all grade levels can continue this work at home, even when they do not have STEM class. If they need their login information, please feel free to email me. Next week is National Engineers Week (Feb. 21st-27th). In class, we will be conducting an engineering design project using Cubelets. Cubelets are electronic cubes that when combined can create a variety of robots. At home, families can check out “Dream Big: Engineering Our World,” a documentary currently on Netflix that examines incredible achievements of engineering from around the world.

The district Mobile Lab will be visiting Longmont Estates on Friday, Feb. 26th. Families can come check out the lab between 9-11a.m. The first 100 students will receive a take-home design challenge kit. Hope to see you there!
