Lietz Color Your World Walkathon 2021: Thursday, 11/4/2021
This year, Lietz HSC is excited to offer donation incentives such as pizza parties, ice cream parties, and many others that you can discover by watching the new video uploaded here. We believe the kids will love these, and especially the last one.
By now your child should have come home with the Walkathon donation envelopes, which are necessary to track donations and make sure they count towards these incentives.
The following donations must be returned in the envelopes (together with the donation from) in order to count towards the incentives:
Cash and Check donations
Corporate donations receipts (such as donations made through Benevity).
Please make sure your student’s name and class is on the form. These envelopes must be returned to school by November 4th.
As a side note, online donations made on the website do not need to be on the donation form. These will be counted automatically.
More information about donations, incentive and Walkathon in general is available here.

Parent/Teacher Conferences (Nov. 8-9, 15-16, 18-19)
The first parent-teacher conference is designed to recognize your child's strengths and needs, to coordinate school and home support, and to better familiarize the classroom teacher with your child. In fact, it is a sharing time whereby parents and teachers discuss and plan how best to assist the child in the learning process. All Meetings will be held via Zoom.
This year, conferences will be held November 8-9, 15-16, 18-19) (excluding Wednesdays). We will be on early release days (school is out at 1:15pm) everyday during this time.
Conferences are scheduled in time blocks set by the teachers. We ask your cooperation in being prompt to your conference time and date so there will be maximum time to talk about your child.
Please consider the items below before the conference to help with your conversation with the teacher:
· What are your child's strengths and needs?
· Does your child enjoy reading and/or writing?
· Does your child have an interest in math and/or science?
· How does your child show interest in art, drama and music?
· What physical activities does your child enjoy?
· How do you support school learning at home? How often do you read with your child?
· Is there educational, family, and/or medical history that may affect your child's educational growth that should be shared with the teacher? (This information will be kept confidential.)
Research shows that parent involvement in a child's education is a critical factor in determining the degree to which a child will be successful in school. Please make attending the parent/teacher conference one of the ways you will be involved in your child's education.
