Lemoore Elementary Families,

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break and enjoyed the beautiful weather. As we move into the final half of the school year, I would like to thank everyone for their support in making this school year successful. I would like to encourage parents to check our district website and Facebook pages for county and district updates on Covid-19 protocols.

We want to thank our Lemoore Elementary community for their support of our Spring Book Fair. We had over $6,000 in sales. This means we are able to purchase books for our library and set aside new books to give out to students to take home for Summer Break. We continue to focus on reading every day for at least 20 minutes a day. Students have been taking the STAR reading test once a month all year to measure their reading progress. They will take the test again during the week of April 12th. Please ask your child about their reading level.

April is also the “Month of the Military Child” where we honor our students whose families are in the military. We have around 30 students whose parents serve in our country’s armed forces. To grow up as a military child is a great sacrifice. We want to thank our Lemoore Elementary Lions whose parents or guardians serve our country. So on April 14th, we will celebrate Purple Up Day 2021. It is a DoDEA Worldwide Event where we will all wear purple in honor of our military families.

Thank you,

Ms. Garcia

Our online ordering link is live. The link is plicbooks.com/go/pa4ub

There is a slight increase in price due to the increase in costs associated with online ordering.

We will still be charging $20 if you choose to pay in cash. Flyers will be coming home with students the first week back from Spring Break.

The ELPAC is used to assess and monitor EL students’ progress toward English language proficiency. EL students continue to take the Summative ELPAC annually until they meet their LEA’s reclassification criteria.

The ELPAC is currently taking place in the ELD classroom and should be finishing up by the end of April.

We continue to follow the County Health Department Protocols and ask that all adults wear a mask when dropping off or picking up students; this means even in the common grass areas at the front of the school.

Thank you for your help.
