Letter from the Lewis Principal
Hello Lewis Community!
I want to remind all of you about dessert on August 22 from 5:30 to 7 pm on the Lewis School playground. Usually I call this "Dessert with the Principal", however, now I am calling it a "Community Gathering" to kick off the school year. There will be a great food truck (a surprise) to provide dessert to all for free, including dietary options! So please come and enjoy a fun evening on the playground!!!
My summer took a bit of a turn, as right after school got out I went in for my yearly mammogram. This led to four weeks of biopsies, tests, and more tests and the start of chemotherapy for the next several months. Timing-wise the week of the Community Gathering is also the week of my chemotherapy. Which is why I will not be in attendance, but there will be several staff attending to welcome you back and answer any questions.
I will continue to work this year, I just will be absent for a few days each month for treatment. Just a few changes will occur for students like washing hands and putting on a mask when they are in my office, and of course I will be wearing a mask and probably bald for most of the year. Life is filled with unexpected adventures and school is a great place for positive energy!
REMINDER: The first bell will be at 7:55am and the second bell is at 8:00am. School starts at 8am...get those alarm clocks out and ready!
Grades 4th and 5th will enter through the gym/cafeteria doors.
Grades 2nd and 3rd will enter through the top of the dip door under the covered play area.
Grades kindergarten and 1st will enter the front main doors.
Kindergarten official first day of school is September 3rd. However, you will hear from the kindergarten teachers for your pre-assessment and step-up day.
School supply lists can be found online (see links down below) or stop by the school office to pick up a copy of what you will need for school this year.
The school day ends at 2:30pm. Pick up locations will be outside classroom doors or designated by the classroom teacher which you will be informed of prior to school starting.
Save the date: Back to School night will be on September 17th.
Enjoy the rest of summer!
I hope you can all attend the dessert!
See you on August 27, 2024 at 7:55am!!!
Thanks,
Deanne
