As the weather is changing, and we are moving into the second half of trimester one, the students and teachers are hard at work establishing a strong foundation in reading and math.

Parent Conferences were a great success. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend. Please continue to contact your child’s teacher regarding any questions or concerns; we are a team in your child's success.

October is a very busy month with Benchmark Assessments, bus evacuation drills, Red Ribbon Week and picture make-ups. We will continue to focus on attendance. It is vitally important for students to be at school, on-time daily. As a reminder we do not wear costumes to school on Halloween, October 31st. Students are encouraged to wear orange on that day for fun dress-up. We will also have a teacher professional development day on Friday, October 28th. This means no school for students.

Thank you for your continued support of Lemoore Elementary.

October 2nd is National Custodial Worker’s Recognition Day. We want to encourage the appreciation to the employees who keep our school running smoothly.

Custodial workers operate behind the scenes. They are often under-appreciated for the hard work they do day after day, too. These are the personnel keeping our schools clean and well maintained.

We want to give our appreciation to the Lemoore Elementary Custodians:

• Mr. Lionel Garza

• Ms. Lynette Johnson

• Mr. Derrick Rivera

Thank you for keeping our school clean and safe every day!!!

The purpose of the assessments are to gather information to make instructional decisions that best supports student learning.

Specific Expectations for Benchmark Testing

• Have a quiet space to concentrate
• Eliminate distractions and help from other people or other online sources during the assessment
• Take the assessment seriously - show up and work through the assessment thoroughly to show your teacher what you know and can do
• Give the assessment your best effort - don't rush through it
