Welcome to the 2022-23 School Year
Message from the Principal
Happy Summer LES Families,
The new school year is approaching and I am so excited to return and to serve as your principal for the sixth year. It is my joy to welcome you to Lawrenceville Elementary School (LES). We are excited to have you and your child as members of the LES family and wonderful learning community. This upcoming year is the 60th anniversary of our school, which opened its door back in 1962! Our theme this year, I BELONG, YOU BELONG, WE BELONG, stems from our desire to create an environment were everyone feels valued, heard, seen, and understood.
This year brings exciting opportunities for us to accomplish great things together! As a team, we can come together and do all we can to ensure the success of ALL. This will be a wonderful year! I am blessed to do this incredibly important work in this community and supporting you and your families.
Proud to be your principal,
Ms. Calcaño

- Go to your child's homeroom class. You will drop off your child's supplies, confirm transportation, and meet your child's teacher before the next rotation of parents enter.
- While in the cafeteria be sure to purchase spirit wear, sign up for After School Care, and Play2Learn . Learn about LES Clubs and get questions answered.
