LV Primary Parent News

Primary Bears,

Happy New Year! At the end of the day today, we will have a popsicle party to welcome in 2024! Tomorrow, students are invited to bring a favorite stuffed animal to school. Yes, they are telling you the truth when they pack a stuffed animal in their backpack! Our school works towards positive behavior incentives, and this was our reward for filling our 30th 100 Chart! See graphic below for more details!

Report cards will go home January 11. Spring is a time of tremendous growth for our students. Attending school each and everyday is critical as we prepare them for a bright future! (Plus keep in mind a student cannot miss more than 15 school days (excused or unexcused) in a school year or they will be considered for retention in the current grade level.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Shelley Keck

Does your child read at home? Students who only read at school do not make the academic gains that their peers do who read each evening at home. If you need books for home, please reach out to your child's teacher, Mrs. Saulter, or our Intervention Team and we will help you out! Help your child make the year's worth of growth in reading by having them read each evening.

A few highlights:

-A student cannot miss more than 15 days a school year (excused or unexcused).

-You must send a note within 3 days of absence.

School Hours 7:25-3:40.
