Lawn Elementary Connections

It is my pleasure to welcome back new and returning families to a great year at Lawn! I am excited that you are a part of our amazing learning community where parents, teachers, and students work together to build our team. I welcome and value your positive energy and dedication to excellence in education, and I look forward to working with you and your children.

Our skilled and devoted staff are already planning and preparing for your child(ren). Our hard working custodians have spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning the facility. Our much appreciated office staff is registering new families and making sure that everyone is ready to start a successful school year.

If you have not downloaded the Jim Ned Blackboard App on your phone, please do so now. You will have quick access to campus & district current information, notices, along with updates for the 2023-24 school year. Also, remember to visit our website and social media platforms regularly

for current news and upcoming events.

Because it is so important that teachers and parents work together inmaking a child’s school year a happy and successful one, it is hoped that parents will be involved in school, volunteer when available, and communicate with your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns. They are easily accessible via email, and will communicate with you in a timely manner. Home/School partnership is the reason Lawn continues to excel socially and academically.

I’m honored to serve as the principal of Lawn Elementary! It is great to be a part of a community where students, teachers, and parents care for each other and strive to build meaningful relationships that support academic and social growth. As your principal, it is important to me that

everyone who steps through our doors is excited to be here! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment. My door is always open, and I welcome your input. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year. I am looking forward to working with you and assisting each student to meet his or her personal goals

Looking forward to a new school year! It's GREAT to be a Jim Ned Indian!

Before your child can participate in “Meet the Teacher Night” on August 14th, you are required to register for the 2023-2024 school year in Ascender Parent Portal. If you have registered before, it should only take you a few minutes to register your student for 2023-24. For clarity, no child will be allowed to participate or be added to a class roster on August 14th if they are not registered. Any student not registered in our Ascender Parent Portal will not be allowed to attend classes until they are registered.

Go to www.jimned.esc14.net & click on the "Enroll" tab near the top of the website. Everything you need is there & only a few clicks away! If you need assistance, please contact us at the Lawn campus. Thank you very much for taking care of this as soon as possible!
