Staff Professional Development

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to thank Armin and Jennifer Hohrein for organizing and providing a week full of treats for the East staff! Thanks for the notes of encouragement and treats that everyone provided throughout the week to show our staff how much they are appreciated and loved! Students are practicing and preparing for end of year celebrations! On Thursday, our campus ensured that our Unified Track Team was sent off with a lot of support! We are so proud of our Unified Track Team for placing 2nd in the district! If your child participated in the meet, you might check out Pixel 5 (Aaron Baxter) on Instagram. He has a lot of great photos from the Unified Track Meet. On Friday, our students that participated in BOB were able to take a field trip as a reward for their participation! Many students in Pre-K and 1st grade had a beach day on Friday. Others, dressed up to represent their future careers! We have completed our last round of MAP testing for the year and are so proud of the growth that our students have achieved!

Summer is just around the corner, and there are many summer activities available to LCISD students! Check out LCISD camps at https://www.lcisd.net/page/summercamps, and check out various camps around the Lubbock community at https://www.lcisd.net/page/community-camps!

This month, we’re focusing on integrity. As a campus, we will be challenging students to choose to do the right thing, no matter who is watching! We want to partner with you to highlight your child's integrity!

The newsletters attached below provide several ideas and conversation starters to use as a family this month.

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.

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.

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 to make sure you don't miss any updates or information!

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.
