Principal Lamour's Corner: Week 6, We Got This, as Partners!
Hello Luce Crew,
I hope you had a great weekend. This week we have another 5-day week. As you may have heard, we will not return to the physical sense of school this year. We will finish the year in remote learning. Although this was unfortunate news, we will get through this together as a crew.
Luce teachers are working very hard and intentionally to provide high-quality learning opportunities via remote learning to advance the curriculum. Each week, there will be assignments given, of which some will be expected. For these expected assignments, you will receive feedback once a week.
If you have any questions on assignments provided by your child's teacher, please make sure to take advantage of your child's teacher's office hours.
Students in Grades 3-5 Password Change
Last week, parents in grades 3-5, should have received an email from the technology department to inform you that students will be changing their passwords for security purposes. Please see the linked parent letters in case you missed them.
3rd/4th Grade Password Change Letter
5th-Graders Email Access Update
Also, all 5th-graders at the Luce will have access to their Google email accounts. Parents may have received or will receive training links this week from 5th-grade classroom teachers via the class Google Classroom. Please see the letter linked below for all 5th-grade families regarding the email transition process.
Luce Academic Specialists:
If you would like to get in contact with a Luce academic specialist, please send them an email, and they will get back to you within 24-hours.

Notes From Nurse Warren
Hello Luce School Families,
I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to inform you that the health office will be supporting students, families, and staff by holding office hours from 10:00-11:00 AM daily. During this time, you can email me with health questions, consultations, updates, or just to connect. I will also be checking email several times during the day if these hours aren’t convenient for you.
I can help you access educational health information and direct you to resources aimed at promoting and prioritizing health and mental wellness for children and adults during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Here is a link to the Center for Disease Control website for the latest information. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | CDC
I will be contacting parents to return any medication that will be needed at home.
I am making every effort to extend continued support during this period and look forward to helping in any way.
Please know that I am thinking of all of you and miss you!
Stay healthy,
Mrs. Warren
