Dear LSE Family,
Thank you so much to all of our families that took time out of your very busy schedules to come to parent teacher conferences! We had all but 8 families meet with their child's teacher!
We also want to give a HUGE thank you to the LSE PTA and those families that provided our staff with meals and snacks during conferences. Our staff appreciated this so very much!
These past few weeks we have had nearly every season! It's one of the things we love about the midwest! Please make sure you are sending appropriate outerwear as temperatures fluctuate a lot from morning to afternoon. As a reminder, we go outside for recess as long as the temperatures/windchill is above 20 degrees.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tracy Sanders, Principal

Big Smiles dental clinic coming to LSE!
Dear Parent,
Great news! Our school has partnered with Smile Programs…the mobile dentists to offer in-school dental care. Sign up your child today at www.myschooldentist.com OR complete, sign, and return the dental form sent home with your child and have them return it to their teacher. Big Smiles will be at LSE on Wednesday, November 16th.
Even better, dental care is usually at no cost to you. All insurance is accepted including Medicaid and CHIP. For those without insurance, a low cost self-pay option is available.
Convenient and comfortable
Our in-school dental program saves you time and provides a safe and comfortable place for your child to receive gentle dental care from licensed local professionals. Dental care includes a complete dental exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride and sealants when necessary, and in some cases, restorative care such as fillings.
Dental care for a healthy life
Children who see a dentist regularly may have fewer health issues like:
Early tooth loss due to dental decay
Gum disease
Heart disease
Impaired speech development
Help keep your child healthy, in school and learning.
To sign up, simply go to www.myschooldentist.com.
