Weekly Wrangler

We are looking forward to the 4th week of school. It's been wonderful to see our students settling into their routines, building friendships, and embracing new learning experiences. As the academic momentum picks up, I’m proud of how our school community continues to grow and work together. Our teachers are working hard to ensure that every child feels supported and challenged, and we appreciate your ongoing partnership in making this a successful school year.

This week, we are excited to highlight a few key events and updates, including:

• Curriculum Focus: Students are diving deeper into their reading and math units. Academic routines and assessments are beginning.
• Community Building: We’ve been engaging in activities that promote social-emotional learning and respect, helping students build a positive classroom culture.
• Enrichment: PE and Library have begun and we are excited to start Music, Makerspace and Art next week!
• Parent Involvement: Don’t forget, to complete your volunteer paperwork if you plan to volunteer on campus.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement. Let’s keep this positive energy going as we work together for another great week of learning and growth!

Happy Trails,

Ms. Triplett

~Lost & Found Items~

Our Lost & Found is consistently overflowing. One of our shared goals is to raise responsible and independent children. Empowering our kids to take responsibility for their belongings is a crucial step in their growth and development. It helps children develop organization, time management, problem solving abilities and a basic respect for things which will serve them well throughout their lives.

A good practice is asking your kids at pick-up whether they have all of their belongings before departing. If they are missing items, have them go back and locate them.

Let's work together to help us reunite lost items with their owners and teach our children the value of responsibility from a young age!

~Lost & Found Policy~

The Lost and Found is located near the MPR by the student restrooms.

Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of each month!

All volunteers and visitors MUST check-in at the front office with your ID each time you are on campus.You will not be permitted on campus without your ID.

If you will be volunteering regularly on campus, you will need to fill out the volunteer paperwork. It was sent home the first week of school and needs to be submitted at least one week prior to the start of volunteering. All volunteers must have a scheduled volunteer time with their student's teacher. Thank you for your support in keeping our school safe!

Please make sure you sign-in if you are on campus for our pep rallies! Anytime you are on campus after the bell rings, you must sign-in!

School meals for the 2023-2024 school year will be available to all students at no charge. Please click on the link below to access the online lunch menu for Lang Ranch Elementary School.
