Emergency Drills
Safety is a top priority and we are always working to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for our students and staff at LCE. Therefore, we regularly practice our safety drills and procedures.
Before each scheduled drill Ms. Croft lets the staff and students know which drill they will be practicing and explains the procedures and expectations for the drill. In keeping with the district's expectations, we conduct a fire drill at least once a month. In addition to the monthly fire drills, we conduct at least two safety drills each year for each of the following scenarios:
- Lockdown
- Lockout
- Shelter in Place -- Severe Weather
- Shelter in Place -- Hazardous Materials
- Shelter in Place -- Medical Emergency
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Croft at michele.croft@fortbendisd.com.

Vision and hearing screenings will continue in October for Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd and 5th grades as well as any new students to LCE. Students in 2nd and 4th grades are not required to be screened.
It is very important that students wear their glasses every day to prevent multiple screenings and referrals. It is very important that students wear their glasses every day to prevent multiple screenings and referrals.
If your child received a referral letter, please follow up with your child's health care provider as soon as you can. It is important that they can see and hear properly to be successful in the classroom. Please reach out to me if you need assistance or have any questions or concerns.
