Our progress reports were emailed home to families on Saturday. All 3-5 schools in Ferguson-Florissant are beginning to utilize standards-based grading. This will allow you to easily see how your Eagle is progressing with our state standards. You may have noticed numbered scoring on standards that have been taught so far this year. I am attaching below a document with some frequently asked questions, along with a few images that explain standards-based grading.

Please make sure to send healthy food items for students for lunch. For example, students are not allowed to have soda and should have a limited amount of sweets. Avoid sending items that contain peanuts, as we have many students with allergies. Also, students are not allowed to bring just a bag chips, even if they are getting a school lunch. Any chips must accompany a homemade lunch. A healthy lunch provides the right kind of energy to help students be successful all day at school. Thank you for your help!

Each year we ask families to complete a compact for learning. Please complete this week. Thank you so much!

Please make sure if you still have a chromebook that you return it to any district school during their office hours. You can also send it with your Eagle to school. It is essential that these chromebooks are returned, so that they can be prepared for students. If your student still has a chromebook out, they will not have access to one at school until it is returned and looked at by our district technology professionals. Thank you for helping us make sure every student has access to a chromebook.

Check out our handbook for important information regarding the school day, arrival and dismissal, and much more!

We hold our students to the highest of expectations at Lee-Hamilton to help them prepare for success! We expect our students to Be Responsible, Safe, Cooperative, and Kind. We expect them to Persevere through school work and situations that are challenging. Our expectations are included in the matrix linked below for you to review with your student, so they are prepared for a successful school year. We also will spend each morning meeting with your Eagles discussing these expectations and providing them with the strategies and skills to reach them.

We have been very lucky this year to have many supporters for our Lee-Hamilton Eagles. Schnucks in Ferguson very kindly donated all of the bags we used at the beginning of the school year for student materials and Papa John's in Ferguson has given us a school discount on our our pizzas. A special thank you goes out to Doozles, Freddy's, and Dairy Queen in Florissant for each donating more than 100 ice cream treats to our Eagles. We have been sending home their ice cream certificates with each certificate awarded to an Eagle for demonstrating the Eagle Way of responsibility, safety, cooperation, kindness, and perseverance. We would like to make a special poster for each of these businesses, so if you have a photo of your Eagle with their certificate or eating their ice cream I would love to include it in the thank you message for these businesses. You can send me the photo via Dojo or via email at aeye@fergflor.org. Also, if you have an opportunity please frequent these businesses and thank them for their support.
