I hope everyone has had a great week! This week was Volunteer Appreciation Week. We are so very lucky to have so many parent volunteers on campus each day volunteering their time for teachers and students. Make sure to thank your volunteers!
I want to give a BIG shout out to Ofelia and crew! We've had a successful roll out of our new Teacher's Lounge Mobile Ordering process. Teachers, we also appreciate your patience as we get this up and going! Remember to place your orders by 8:30 so there is plenty of time for your lunch to be made.
We are excited to share that students Shrenik, Yashas, Nitya and Srihitha received 2nd place (K-5 U 800 category) in the Casis chess tournament 2019. Congratulations to these trophy winners! Thank you to those teachers who are guiding them and helping to boost their confidence.
We are looking forward to the district-wide professional learning day on February 18th. In order to continue learning and growing together, campus-based and cross-district collaborative teams will meet according to the February 18 Professional Learning Day schedule. See the schedule to see where you will be on Monday! If you have questions or need clarification please reach out. Tweet about your learning using the #engageLISD, #inspireLISD, and/or #achieveLISD hashtags!
Please complete this form to let us know who is interested in applying to be a Summer Camp Invention instructor. LISD recommends instructors and then Camp Invention hires them as independent contractors.
If you would like to purchase Parkside Spirtwear be sure to place your order by 2/28 - follow the link to make your purchase.
Have a wonderful weekend!
