Principal's Note
Greetings Parents!
We’ve had another outstanding week here at LCE. All students have worked very hard to accomplish their goals and improve their achievement. Thank you, parents, for your continued support!
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. I encourage all students and parents to take the opportunity to thank your child's teacher. I believe that we have outstanding teachers at LCE dedicated to student achievement! I am very proud to be the leader of this campus and to work with such dedicated teachers!
End of the year awards and celebration plans will be shared with all parents soon. Please keep a lookout for Parent Square notifications and campus newsletters too. All details regarding dates, time, and location will be provided to you. We look forward to all the festivities!!!
We are now down to the last 19 days of school. Yet, even though the days are dwindling there is still so much to complete. As always, attendance is crucial for student success. Please continue to ensure that your child comes to school everyday. Be sure to always follow district attendance guidelines as well.
As always, thank you for all your continued support of our staff and students! Have a terrific weekend!

Students of the Week
2nd Grader - Derek Caraballo
This student is always looking for ways to help others. He always puts other students first no matter who they are or what it is for! He is respectful to adults and peers everywhere on campus.
4th Grader - Preslyn Neal

Counselor's Corner
May is Mental Health Awareness month. MVISD designated May 13th - May 17th as Green Ribbon Week. Students are encouraged to dress up and will be provided stickers/bracelets. At LCE students have the choice to dress up with the ABC countdown as well. You can help by checking in with your child after school. It is common for children to answer automatically with “fine” when asked how their day was. Try asking “What was something good about today?,” “What was a challenge from today?”
As always the counseling team is available should you ever have concerns or questions.
Community First Food Pantry
LCE is hosting a community Food Pantry. It is located in the front of the school and is accessible 24/7. Inventory is checked weekly to ensure there are items available.
It is accessible to families in need. If you are in great need, please contact the counseling department and we can provide additional resources.
