Window for Changing Instructional Setting for 3rd Nine Weeks
This is also your opportunity to request a bus for your child if he/she is face-to-face. Once the window closes on November 20th, you will not be allowed to request a bus for your child.
Please be aware that as each grading period allows for parents to request changes, our campus must adjust accordingly. While we strive to maintain as much consistency as possible for our students, requests for changes may result in teacher changes. Even those NOT requesting a change in the instructional setting may be impacted and result in a teacher change as we shift teacher assignments to and from face-to-face and virtual to accommodate change requests.

Counselor's Corner
Hello LVES Families, and Happy World Kindness Day!
This week has been Include Someone Week, and students have been learning the importance of being inclusive and helping others feel seen and valued. In our guidance lessons, students have also been learning about the character trait of Giving. People are giving when they do kind and thoughtful things for others. We have talked about “bucket filling” as a way of giving to others--it means filling someone’s invisible bucket of feelings by saying or doing something that makes them feel better. Students have learned that we should all be bucket fillers, and not bucket dippers. Ask your child if they have filled anyone’s bucket today!
¡Hola familias de LVES y feliz día mundial de la bondad!
Esta semana ha sido Incluir a alguien, y los estudiantes han estado aprendiendo la importancia de ser inclusivos y ayudar a otros a sentirse vistos y valorados. En nuestras lecciones de orientación, los estudiantes también han estado aprendiendo sobre el rasgo de carácter de Dar. Las personas son generosas cuando hacen cosas amables y atentas por los demás. Hemos hablado de "llenar un balde" como una forma de dar a los demás; significa llenar el balde invisible de sentimientos de alguien diciendo o haciendo algo que los haga sentir mejor. Los estudiantes han aprendido que todos deberíamos llenar baldes y no sumergir baldes. Pregúntele a su hijo si ha llenado el balde de alguien hoy.
COLLEGE DAY IS EVERY WEDNESDAY! WEAR YOUR FAVORITE COLLEGE SHIRT!
