• I loved all of the students that participated in the Great Snowman Contest. We will be running that event through the beginning of February to allow for additional entries. If you child would like to participate, please email kirsten.ohara@lcps.org with a picture of your snowman, name of your snowman, and name of the students that created the snowman. If you are sending me the picture, you are agreeing to it being posted on our Instagram page. If you don't want it posted, please let me know.
• Fifth grade families - please look for an email on Monday, January 13th regarding the Pre-Algebra Readiness Assessment that will take place on the morning of January 24th. There is no preparation as it is a readiness assessment. All parents will need to opt in their child for the assessment on the form that will be sent on Monday. All information regarding the assessment will be sent home on Monday from me.

Sincerely,

Kirsten O'Hara

The online pre-registration portal for kindergartners and students new to LCPS will open on Monday, Jan. 6. Current LCPS students do not need to complete this process. The LCPS student registration process involves two steps: online pre-registration and in-person registration appointments. The online pre-registration process includes determining your student’s home school, gathering the documents required for registration and uploading them to the pre-registration portal. Once pre-registration is complete, your student’s school will contact you to schedule a registration appointment to be held after Feb. 3, 2025. Paper registration forms are also available at your student’s home school, or you may download them from the LCPS website. If you have questions, please contact your student’s home school or LCPS Student Registration at RegistrationServices@lcps.org. See more information about Student Registration on the LCPS website.

We have NEW Lab Talk podcast episodes to share with you! This week, we welcomed 13 high school students from Independence High School for Computer Science Education Week. In this episode, Mr. McIntosh sat down with our guests to discuss the new machine learning lessons they were able to teach to teach to a variety of our K-5 students. Our high school volunteers provide some great insight into the benefits of Computer Science, along with the positive effects of the courses they are taking. They even discuss the many Computer Science course options for students as they get into middle and high school. Thanks for listening!
