A Message from Mrs. Haley
I would like to remind you that there will be no school on Friday, October 11th, or Monday, October 14th. We hope you enjoy the long weekend!.
Hug and Go Lane
Please make sure that you are helping us keep traffic moving in the Hug and Go Lane. Remember the lane closest to the school is for drop off only in the mornings. No parking is allowed in this lane in order to provide student safety while being dropped off.
Changing weather
Fall is officially here! Please double-check the weather each morning to dress your students appropriately, and don’t forget to label their jackets and clothing with their names.
Thanks!

100 Mile Club
100 Mile Club is a running, jogging and walking club. Every student, parent and staff member are welcome to join and do their best. Students can join at any time throughout the school year, attendance is not mandatory and coming a little late is better than not coming at all. Longmont Estates Elementary will be implementing the 100 Mile Club on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning on October 15th from 7:35-8:10 am. The registration cost for 100 Mile Club is $25 per student per year. Please register online through Revtrak here.
We will meet on the West side of school in the mornings. If the field is snow covered, we will walk/run on the playground blacktop and if it is actively raining or snowing or it is below 15 degrees outside we will enjoy the club inside the school. Please encourage your child to bring water, wear layers of clothing and bring a can do attitude. Our goals are to increase physical fitness levels, set goals, build community and increase academic achievement through this physical activity. Looking forward to seeing you in the 100 MileClub! If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions please contact Tiernay Dirks at tiernay.dirks@gmail.com.
