Dear Lesher Community,

You are cordially invited to a special Art Gala event coming up on February 21st from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Future Ready Center in the FootHills Mall. This event will be a celebration of the 8th grade Visual Arts students' artwork.

There will be a silent auction of our 8th grade students’ artwork that will raise funds for the PTO teacher grants. There will also be a few performances by some of our band and orchestra students. This event is a wonderful way to support our students and our teachers. It is a collaborative effort, being put together by the PTO, the 8th grade art students and the 8th grade entrepreneur students. Please join us on the 21st to help celebrate these students.

Students will take a survey on Monday, selecting their top four choices for ELO quarter four. Below are the course offerings for each grade level. Please let us know if you have any questions.

The student challenge for January and February has been to fill out TADs for every class, every day. Each week, we have had a bonus Planner Powerball drawing. This will continue until the end of February.

For March, the STUDENT challenge will be missing work. The grade level with the least amount of missing work at the end of March, will earn bonus outdoor time.

In an effort to foster a culture of mutual respect, effective communication, and quality customer service, PSD has created a set of norms for staff, family/guardian, and community engagement. These norms aim to set a positive tone for interactions between staff and parents and community members, whether they happen in person, over the phone, or in writing.

The norms will be posted in all PSD schools and include expectations that:

• Calls or emails that are not emergencies will be acknowledged within three school days.

• Appointments between the parties involved will be established as a norm for addressing concerns or discussing important matters through direct communication.

• Appointments will take place as soon as reasonably possible. Adequate time is needed for preparation and research before an appointment.

• Communication will focus on collaboration and understanding – respectful language and non-confrontational behavior from all parties are expected.

• Boundaries between personal and professional life will be maintained, and sensitive matters will not be addressed in community settings.

It’s important for everyone in our schools and in our communities to feel welcome and engage in mutual respect to best serve students.

Here is a link to our academic honesty police. Please take time as a family to read through this information and let us know if you have any questions! Thank you!

Academic Honesty Policy

Lesher students cannot carry any bag larger than a pencil case from class to class. Please keep all bookbags, backpacks, tote bags, purses, and other bags in your locker. We do this for two reasons: 1) Safety, we do not want students concealing prohibited items in large bags; 2) Space, we do not want to overcrowd the hallways with large bags. Thank you for your understanding!
