Last spring teachers and some parents read The Book of Failure by Jessica Lahey. Everyone felt the book had many great insights for parents and teachers. Ms. Krier created a short 6-minute video summarizing some of the key points to the book. We strongly encourage you read the book but also know that time is often tight. Click the link below for the video and please reach out to Ms. Krier at skrier@lps.k12.co.us with any questions or concerns.

Dear LA Families,

Did you know your student in 1st-5th grade could earn an extra Dress of Choice day every month through our AR program? What is AR? Click here to read more about our AR program or read the flyer from your child's homeroom teacher.

Students in 2nd-6th grades that earned their AR goal last May will receive the first AR dress of choice on Tuesday, September 3rd. Their certificates will come home today so they will know if they made it. Students in 1st-5th grades can start earning points towards their September goal now! Please use this link to access our school's personal website for Accelerated Reader and students use their Google credentials to log in. The deadline for earning September points is Saturday, September 30th. If you have any questions, please let me know by email, acox@lps.k12.co.us.

Happy reading!

At Littleton Academy, we ask for 20 volunteer hours per family per year. This can take many forms from being on a board, helping at lunch or donating items for events. If you are volunteering in the building, we need you to complete a background check through Littleton Public Schools. Once you have completed the background check, we will print a badge that you will wear when volunteering in the building during school hours. If you already have an account, you do not need to do anything until you receive an email letting you know that you need to renew your application.

Please use the following link to set up you account: LPS Volunteers

Don't forget to log your volunteer hours here!

We wanted to provide you with the information and resources that have been shared with students and staff. We had our first fire drill last week and it went very smoothly. Fire drills will happen once a month throughout the year and we will have two lockdown drills this year. Our first lockdown drill is coming this month and the second will be in January. We let all of our students and teachers know when drills are coming as they are for practice. The following videos have been shown to students so they are aware of the protocols before the drills take place.

• The Standard Response Protocol
  
• The Standard Response Protocol video (Middle and High School students)
• Safety Awareness for K–5 Students video (Elementary Students)
