Lake Ripley Elementary
August/September 2019
Welcome to Lake Ripley School
Principal's Message
I can truly say that this has been one of the busiest summer vacations ever!! We have been very fortunate to have amazing weather and lots of events around our community.
Lake Ripley Elementary teachers have taken part in professional development over the summer break in efforts to bring the most current best practices to our classrooms and throughout the building for our students. And the custodial staff has worked tirelessly repairing and preparing the building for the coming school year.
Throughout the school year, our instructional focus will be on literacy, writing, math and school culture and climate. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that all students are improving their academic, social, and emotional skill sets.
I am pleased to announce that Lake Ripley Elementary will be implementing What I Need Time (WIN) this school year. Students will use a 30 minute time block during the day to receive character education lessons, enrichment activities, and team building opportunities.
On behalf of the entire team here at Lake Ripley, we look forward to seeing you at our open-house celebration on Wednesday, August 28 at 5:00 p.m.. This will be an exciting school year for sure!!
Sincerely,
Chris Olson
Principal
