From the Principal
It was wonderful to have a full week of school this week! I know many of us are tired as we get used to being back at school from the summer break! There will be No School on Monday, September 4, to celebrate the Labor Day Holiday, so it will be a nice long weekend for everyone!
We started practicing our required safety drills this week. On Monday, we had our first fire drill of the school year. By law, we are required to have two fire drills within the first 20 days of school. We also have to practice two lockdown drills within the first 20 days of school. Our first lockdown drill will be on Friday, September 8. I am proud of our students for doing a great job during these drills.
We are off to a terrific start with our attendance incentives! Many classes are well on their way to spelling out the word PANTHERS to earn a class reward. The letters are posted outside of the classsroom, and students are excited when the class earns a letter for everyone being at school that day. We are still waiting to earn our first letter for the whole school! This week, a paper about starting good attendance habits was sent home with all students. Thank you for helping us achieve our attendance goal this year!
I have attached the Parent-Student Handbook for the 2023-2024 school year in the email with this newsletter. It can also be found on our website.
The PTO sent out envelopes this week for families to join. We appreciate your support of the PTO, as they do a lot for our students and staff.
Just a reminder that an adult does need to be present for students in grades PreK, K, 1, and 2 for the bus driver to drop off students.
Also, a reminder about our new LEES Facebook page. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/linvilleedomelementary/ Please like us and share!
Please mark your calendars for our Math Night on October 5, at 6:00 PM in the gym. There also will be a Title I informational meeting at 5:30 PM in the library right before Math Night for any interested parents.
I hope everyone has a long relaxing weekend!
Mrs. Ridder
