Talented and Gifted (TAG) Information
Do you have questions about TAG services in PPS? The TAG department has updated a presentation to give information on what TAG is, referral and identification, and supporting TAG learners for the 2024-2025 school year. Please find that presentation linked here.
After viewing the presentation, you are welcome to email additional questions to the Lewis TAG facilitator, Lisa Tegethoff (ltegethoff@pps.net), or drop in to the library during Back to School night on September 17th to have your questions addressed!
Join the Reading Squad and support students with reading!
Do you want to help us grow Lewis readers and do you have about 45 minutes a week? If the answer is yes, please join our 2024-25 Reading Squad!
Last year, the Reading Squad had a significant impact on our students' reading skills and we hope to build on that success. Ms. Ala will reach out with sign-up and training opportunities toward the end of September, so stay tuned! Reading Squad will start as soon as fall testing is complete. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to Ala Fagan, our instructional coach at afagan@pps.net. Thank you.
Volunteers must do a background check. Get started on it soon! Please go to the district website. It is very simple and easy. When you volunteer in our building the first time you will need to bring an ID and sign in at the main office. It will take a little time to get you set up in our system. Background checks are valid for 3 years.
PTA News
Want to help and/or volunteer with the PTA this year?
Here is your chance! Help your PTA and help Lewis! Room Parents are an integral part of teacher/PTA and classroom communication. You will be asked to send some emails, organize needs via your student's teacher, and perhaps organize classroom parties. Not your cup of tea? Pick a committee or just sign up to be a general helper. We would love to get to know our new families and re-connect with our returning families!
