Hello, Longwood Families!
Thank you for joining us for Lunch on the Lawn! We appreciate your flexibility as we transitioned indoors for some of our grade levels, too. We know our lions love this special time with their family members! We look forward to welcoming you for our next Lunch on the Lawn on Friday, November 3rd.
As a friendly reminder, there is NO SCHOOL Monday, October 9th in observance of Indigenous Peoples' and Columbus Day. This is the perfect time to engage in conversations that promote understanding and respect for our diverse community and world.
At Longwood, we are committed to providing a safe environment where all students can be successful. We are continuously reviewing expectations each day and would appreciate your partnership in reviewing our school expectations at home, too:
- Be Respectful: Treat others with kindness. Use kind words and listen attentively while others are speaking.
- Be Responsible: Take ownership of your actions and belongings. Take initiative to complete classwork, follow school and classroom rules, and contribute positively to our Longwood community.
- Be Safe: Keep hands, feet, and body to yourself. Respect your own personal space and others.
Thank you for staying connected! Please continue reading for photo highlights of our week and other important reminders.
Have a wonderful LONG weekend, Lions! See you Tuesday! Thank you for being a part of our Pride!
