Excitement in the Air!
Welcome Back!
This week we had an opportunity to welcome our new teachers and show them they are joining a family of the friendliest, most inclusive and positive staff anywhere.
As I think about the upcoming school year, I’m very excited about the chapter we are about to write. We will remain steadfast to the commitments we began last year to become a strong PLC campus all while building strong relationships with our students, parents and the community.
Keep Howling!

Required Trainings
https://leisd.instructure.com/enroll/GKLJLL
2. 2. SafeSchools, the annual required compliance training, is now available. Due to current nationwide issues, some additional trainings are required this year. You will find training videos dealing with health emergencies, child nutrition, bullying, human trafficking, copyright infringement, and more. The deadline to complete the SafeSchools training is September 1, 2017. If you do not receive the email from SafeSchools, please check your Spam folder. Last year, many of the emails from SafeSchools were filtered to employee’s Spam boxes. If you do not receive an email at all, please contact Erik Lokken (elokken@leisd.ws) so that he can verify the email and resend the information.
3. 3. Suicide Awareness - House Bill 2186 has been implemented from the 84th legislative session and pertains to suicide awareness. It states we must implement suicide awareness training, as a district, to all personnel having day to day contact with students. This would include but not limited to: Counselors, Librarians, Diagnosticians, Administrators, Testing Coordinators, Instructional Aides, and other campus personnel. SafeSchools is not a TEA approved provider of this training. Mr. Roberts has sent out the training link to campus administrators who will provide the link to their staff. Please note that this training is NOT limited to instructional staff, but rather all staff that have daily contact with students. This includes custodial staff, technicians, child nutrition workers, etc. The deadline to complete this training is September 29, 2017.
