From the Principal's Office
Dear Parent/Guardian:
We are in our final week of the One District One Book celebration. On Friday, March 5 we will have our K-6 culminating activity at the PEC. I hope that you and your family enjoyed the book, trivia questions, activities and all the special events in our community. When it comes to being read to at home, many students told me that the main reason they love ODOB was because they got to spend time with their mom or dad without any interruptions. Thank you for making our ODOB a memorable experience! I am looking forward to next year's event already.
The end of the 2nd trimester is quickly approaching. The trimester will end on March 5th with report cards going home on Wednesday, March 9th. There will be no student attendance on Friday, March 11th for Parent Teacher Conferences. The IEC students and staff are proud and excited for the progress we have made thus far. The students are making great gains in Reading and Mathematical concepts, and we look forward to the continued growth.
The AimswebPlus reports have been sent home. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me and I would be happy to discuss these reports with you. A Lancer Shout Out to all our parents and guardians in your involvement in helping your child at home. Let’s make the 3rd trimester the best, and finish STRONG!!!!!
With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, we are Lucky to be a Lancer! Please share with the IEC what makes you feel LUCKY to be a Lew-Port IEC Lancer. Please fill out the Luck Of The Lancers form attached below.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rodriguez

March is Music in Our Schools Month!
What is MIOSM®?
March has been officially designated by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) for the observance of Music In Our Schools Month® (MIOSM®), the time of year when music education becomes the focus of schools across the nation.
MIOSM began as a single state-wide celebration in 1973, and has grown over the decades to encompass a day, then a week, and then in 1985 to become a month-long celebration of school music. The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children – and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music. MIOSM is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community, and to display the benefits that school music brings to students of all ages.
Thank you for your support of Music Education!!
