LIS Tiger Talk

April 11, 2025

Principal's Message

Tiger Families,

Our Tigers completed their first week of state testing, completing the English Language Arts OST. There was lots of excitement during lunches as we drew 'Golden Tiger Up Tickets' to spin the wheel for prizes. Next week, we have the Math OST on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please try your best to have your student(s) get a good night's sleep, eat breakfast, charge their Chromebooks and are on time for school. Please try to avoid missing school for appointments during our testing days.

5th & 6th Math: April 15 & 16
5th Science: April 22 & 23

On Tuesday, we will honor students who have a parent or guardian serving in the armed services by wearing purple. We hope to see our students take part in this day.

Just a reminder, no school on Friday, April 18th.

Have a great weekend! Go Tigers!
