Principal's Message
I can't believe it is already November! I want to start off by saying how thankful I am to be the principal at Dickinson Elementary. Thank you for the warm comments and smiles that you share with me. Your children continue to shine in all they do. I agree that we have the best teachers in LCISD!
October was a busy month for all of us. Thank you for taking time to support our school events. I hope you have had an opportunity to check out Facebook to see the book character pumpkins and parade. Our students were excited to share about their books!
Our Trunk or Treat event was "faboolous"! Our PTO worked extremely hard making the transition to inside in lieu of cancelling the event. I have a few pictures below of our trunk winners. I know the staff, students, and families had a blast! Thank you for your candy donations and silent auction bidders. That was a huge piece of the success! Dickinson Elementary is better together as we partner the school and families to benefit our students!
Three weeks until Thanksgiving break. Please check out the information below to see what we have planned for the month of November.
I went ahead and deleted some of the repeated information section in order to shorten this newsletter. The past newsletters are on our website that you may always refer back to if needed.

Typing Club on Class Link
Our Digital Learning Team will be sponsoring two TypingClub incentives for the remainder of September thru October. The “Login Lollies” incentive will be for kindergarten thru 1st grades and the “Cool Club” incentive will be for 2nd thru 5th grades. Read more about these incentives:
- Login Lollies (K-1st grade) – The Digital Learning Team will be awarding lollipops to Kinder and 1st grade classrooms where 100% of students can log into a district device without assistance. Teachers can fill out this form Login Lollies 22-23 when 100% of their students can login successfully with their district credentials. A member of the Digital Learning team will deliver the lollipops to the classroom.
- “Cool Club” (2nd – 5th grade) – The Digital Learning Team will be awarding freezer pops to the top class at each grade level, 2nd – 5th, at every elementary campus with the highest performance (total time in program, accuracy, words per minute). These reports will be run at the end of October and freezer pops will be delivered to the winning classrooms.
Help support our Dickinson teachers by accessing typing club from home using the class link button on the lcisd website. This will also help our students get recognized and hopefully earn a treat. Please ask your child's teacher if you need help with a username or password.
Let's start typing! :)
