Mustang Spirit Shirts have been ordered and should be here and ready for delivery in just a couple of weeks, so stay tuned!
Thank you for partnering with us this school year! We appreciate your dedication to LSRO!
From Our Counselor:
We are continuing our conversations about being PROACTIVE! Students are doing a great job at being proactive. Please continue to encourage your students to be proactive at home and school. Motivating your student to take initiative and be responsible even as a kindergarten student will help develop good habits that create good study habits, organization, and being a leader. This week and next I will be going into the kindergarten and first grade class to talk about how our words can be hurtful or helpful. By using kind, encouraging, and positive words we are able to make others feel happy. We also will be talking about how others are different but this does not make them good or bad, just different. By using positive and caring words, we are being proactive with our choices to make others feel happy.
Specials teachers are continuing to discuss being proactive as well during Mustang Club with second through sixth graders. Specials teachers will be discussing ways to be proactive and how having a positive attitude can bring a positive outcome.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders:
- Breakfast--Breakfast is served each day beginning at 7:20. We are working to finish breakfast at 7:45, so that students have time to get to class by 7:50. Please have your students to campus before 7:40 if they plan to eat breakfast, so they have plenty of time to eat before our day begins.
- Dismissal--Please pay attention to our traffic controllers (those with stop signs/at the head of our car lanes). Please make sure to pay attention and follow their directions for the safety of our students.
- For both arrival and dismissal, please make sure you are not on your cell phone. We want our students, parents, and staff to be safe during these high traffic times.
Thanks for your help!
