January 2019
Principal's Message
Dear Cool Cat Family-
Welcome back! I hope each of you had a wonderful and enjoyable holiday season.
January marks the beginning of a new year. It also typically marks a new beginning for our school in terms of grading periods and opportunities (December's snow has pushed our quarter's end by a bit this year). This, however, is still the perfect time to reflect with your child on his/her responsibilities at school. Together, you can set new academic goals and devise new study habits or rituals.
Thank you for your continued support of Lewisville Elementary. As always, if you have any comments, questions or concerns please feel free to contact the school.

Snow Make-up Days...
The scheduled make-up days are June 7 for Monday, Dec. 10; June 10 for Tuesday, Dec. 11; June 11 for Wednesday, Dec. 12; and March 29 for Thursday, Dec. 13. The make-up calendar for the 2018-19 school year doesn’t have other make-up days already scheduled. So the Board of Education will determine a make-up day for Friday, Dec. 14 at a later date.
The board also has the option to make changes in any of the scheduled make-up days.
New Year...New Resolutions
As we begin a new year here at Lewisville, please make an effort to observe our arrival and dismissal rules at school. Students will be counted tardy if they are not in their classrooms by 7:55. There is typically traffic in the car rider line, especially on days with inclement weather, so please plan to arrive early so students can start their day on time. Happy New Year!

Calling all Dads and Male Role Models!
Watch D.O.G.S. is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student’s life.
Our goal is to have you spend at least one day this year at the school to be a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eyes and ears.
Please call or stop by the School to sign up!
PBIS News
Our kids here at LES have done a great job with following our PBIS rules and have earned lots of iPaws. We would like to encourage our students to continue to use our core values:

CAN DO Recycling!
Please bring ALL ALUMINUM CANS to Lewisville Elementary School to help our CAN-DO Recycling program. Each trailer full of cans earns money for our P.T.A. The red trailer is located by the entrance on Lewisville-Clemmons Rd. by the water tower. Please place ONLY aluminum cans in the trailer and all bags and trash in the trash bag attached to the side of the trailer.
A special thank you…
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out with the December Holiday Workshop! The children and their families all truly appreciated it!
