Laburnum Community Connection
Family Edition - September 6, 2020
It was an amazing feeling see so many of our LES Lions for our distribution event on Friday!! We distributed over 200 learning kits and hundreds of books. Thank you for showing up!! Check out our Twitter and Instagram pages for pictures.
We cannot wait to see all of our students on Tuesday, September 8th for the first day of school! As a reminder, all students should be logged in by 8:00 AM to start their day. Once logged into the computer, click on the Clever icon and select the Schoology icon. Schoology is where your child will access all of his/her instructional materials.
Teachers will kick off each class with a morning meeting to build relationships. Refer to your child's grade level schedule below for details about the instructional day. If you have technical difficulties, please email the HCPS Technology Helpdesk at helpdesk@henrico.k12.va.us.
Additionally, we have linked a wealth of resources below to help you get started. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call. Remember to give yourselves grace as parents and caregivers, give your child(ren) grace, and give our teachers grace. We are all navigating uncharted territories BUT we will get through this together.
