Last Week in Review
We had another busy week full of learning and fun! We kicked off the week with viewing the eclipse. We are thankful for the organizations that donated eclipse glasses so that our students could safely view the spectacular event. Our teachers and students in grades 3-5 have kicked off their "Rockin' Reviews". We wrapped the week up with our campus track meet held at LCMS. Our kiddos have trained hard to participate and we are proud of them all! A special thanks to Coach Morrow for organizing the event and the staff members and parents that volunteered to make it a huge success!

Capturing Kids' Hearts Newsletter - Courage
This month, we’re focusing on kindness. As a campus, we will be intentional with celebrating through "Good Things" and providing affirmations. As a family, find opportunities to focus on the positive and affirm each other! We are better together!
The newsletters attached below provide several ideas and conversation starters to use as a family this month.
Attendance
Student Badges
Lubbock-Cooper ISD students wear badges to check out library books, to eat in the cafeteria, and to scan on and off buses. Our office staff and teachers worked diligently last week to ensure that every student has a badge, pocket, and lanyard that is in good condition. Moving forward, if a badge is lost or destroyed, there will be a $5 replacement fee required to cover the cost of supplies.
- When a student comes to the office for a replacement badge, your child will call to inform parents of the lost badge.
- A $5 fee will be added to your students account in Skyward.
- Parents will receive an email notifying them of the charge.
- The badge can be paid for online or cash can be turned into the front office.
- If your student brings their badge home, please ensure that it is returned to school to avoid a fee.
Nominate a Teacher for Mrs. Baird's Teachers on the Rise!
Each month this school year, Mrs. Baird's collects nominations at www.MrsBTeacher.com and honors three teachers--one elementary, one middle school and one high school teachers from South Plains schools. We would love to honor one of your teachers here at East Elementary! You can nominate teachers - past and present - who deserve special recognition.
Watch DOGS - Hallway Heroes!
We are excited to begin our partnership with Watch DOGS for the 2023-2024 school year!
I have attached the registration form below. If you are interested in volunteering as a hallway superhero, please complete the registration form and email it to Joshua Fields, who serves as our East Elementary Watch DOGS Coordinator. Mr. Fields can be reached by email at CooperEastWatchdogs@gmail.com.
Mr. Fields works with our volunteer father-figures to develop a schedule where dads volunteer on campus. They typically give a full-day of their time to work in classrooms, patrol our building, and supervise lunch and recess. Mr. Fields builds each schedule individually, giving each father time in class with their own child and serving in a variety of opportunities around the campus.
Connect with us Online & on Social Media!
We are excited to launch our East Elementary Google Site, sharing information about our campus. Please check out this wealth of information about our staff family, video highlights of work taking place at East, and news about campus initiatives.
