Your Weekly Update from Lilja Elementary School
Dr. Marscher's Message
Thank you all for joining us for Wednesday's Curriculum Night! It was a joy to meet you all, and to have you explore the places your child learns and plays every day. Our teachers are passionate educators who care deeply about growth in all areas- academic, social, and emotional intelligence are all integral to Natick's Profile of a Graduate. We are excited to continue our partnership with you at these early stages of your child's educational career.
Five Things You Need to Know
1 - REQUIRED YEARLY FORMS
If you have not yet done so, please update your required yearly forms in Powerschool.
2- NO SCHOOL WEDNESDAY
There is no school on Wednesday, October 5th. G'mar chatima tovah to all who observe.
3- LOST AND FOUND
The fall weather is upon us, and with it comes cool mornings and warm afternoons. As a result, there are MANY sweatshirts and outer layers that have been taken off during active recess, and left. Please remind your child to keep track of their layers, and to check the lost and found if they are missing an item. Lilja's Lost and Found is located by the cafeteria. Parents can monitor items through the PTO's page here. Items are periodically donated over school vacations.
4 - A NOTE FROM YOUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS
We’re your school counselor team, Courtney Simoni and Adria McMillan. Mrs. Simoni is in her 6th year at Lilja and will be supporting mostly kindergarten, grade 2, and grade 4 this year. Mrs. McMillan joined Lilja last Spring and will be lead for grade 1, multiage 1-2, and grade 3 this year.
We’ve been so excited to welcome your child(ren) into the new school year and have been so impressed with their acclimation into our school routines and expectations. We work closely with all Lilja staff in support of social and emotional learning. You will often hear us talking about feelings and friendship, and we’re especially looking forward to spending more time with the new Everyday Speech SEL curriculum in classrooms.
5- SCHOOL PICTURE DAY OCTOBER 18TH
Picture day is coming! Lilja is hosting picture day on Tuesday, October 18th. I will alert you via the newsletter when forms have been sent home via backpacks. Coffee Pond is returning to document your student's smile. Please reach out to csimoni@natickps.org for photo scholarship opportunities by Wednesday, October 12th.
Lilja is grateful to have a strong partnership with the PTO. The Lilja PTO is a volunteer organization of parents whose goals are to enrich the education of our children, support the teachers and staff and serve the community as a whole. The Lilja PTO seeks to provide funds for materials, programs, social functions, and coordinate parent volunteers, which will enrich the lives of Lilja students and extend our sense of community.
