When you start a creative call back, it is important that you 1) Teach the expectations, 2) Practice, 3) Re-teach, and 4) Practice again! Changing up your callback each month keeps students on their toes and they are more likely to enjoy the new call backs!

Cycle 1: Campus Leadership will create a focus approach to look for specific skills in lesson plans during observations

Schedule
LVES Clubs are Back!
There are staff members that have volunteered to bring some clubs back! We are thankful for their support, but before we begin, we would like some input from the Pony Family.
The students (by choice) will sign up for a club (2nd-5th options right now) & will meet before or after school with various sponsors. These are our club options so far HERE (not counting our awesome participation in destination imagination & student council)
Input needed:
- Does anyone else want to sponsor a club that is not listed on flyer?
- Does anyone have great club ideas for K-1? Any sponsors in mind?
- Should there be any changes to the flyer?
Thank you in advance for your help & input. Please email Mrs. Burleson directly with any input by Tuesday afternoon. After receiving input, flyers will be placed in the mailbox Wednesday. Thank you!
