Each day students will be encouraged to wear a different color that represents one of the PILLARS of CHARACTER:
Monday: YELLOW for RESPECT

Scheduling November Conferences
Again this year, LES will utilize SignUpGenius for conference signups for November parent/teacher conferences!
Online signups will be open beginning October 12. You can access the signup link on our website.
After creating an account for yourself, you will click on the grade level your child is in. Look for your child’s teacher in the left column. After making sure you are signing up for the correct teacher, you will select a date and then a time slot.
*Please note your information is accessible only by the administrator of the sign up, and you will only receive emails that are related to your signups.
On October 26, letters will go home with those students who still need a conference scheduled so that parents can indicate their preference for an afternoon or evening conference time.
We are so excited about this feature and truly hope that you will take advantage of this quick and easy method for signing up for your child’s conference!
WE ARE LEWISTOWN!
