Principal's Message
Lemoore Elementary Families,
As Spring is beginning to arrive we have completed the second trimester of the school year. I am so proud of our students' progress and the success they are making in academics and behavior. Teachers are working on completing report cards which they will be sending home on Tuesday, March 12th. At-risk parent conferences will be held March 12th & 13th.
We will also be celebrating Read Across America the first week of March. Students will have some fun dress-up days and guest readers during their library time.
The month of March also brings a change in Daylight Savings time on March 10th and ICA benchmarks. These are tests that mirror the end of the year state test (CAASPP). Students in grade 3 - 6 will be taking the ELA and math tests the week of March 4th - 22nd.
Finally, on Friday, March 15th there is a professional development day for our Lemoore Elementary staff. Students will not have school on this day. On Monday, March 18th students will have a regular school day with dismissal being 2:41pm. This means that Friday, March 22nd will be a minimum day with a 1:25pm dismissal. This is because the following week will be Spring Break. March 22nd will also be our Trimester 2 rally to honor our students' work academically and athletically.
Spring Break is March 25th - April 1st. School will resume on Tuesday, April 2nd.
Thank you,
Ms. Garcia
