Staff Professional Development

Last week was an amazing week at East! Our older students helped our younger students prepare their iPads to turn in for the summer. We had field trips, glow days, and more! Our first graders presented their animal research projects using a variety of digital tools. Some of our East athletes competed in the District Elementary track meet and represented us well! We wrapped up our week with our East Talent Show. We are so proud of our students that shared their talents with our school family. We had singing, dancing, gymnastics, comedy routines, hula hooping, violin and piano performances!

It is hard to believe that this is the last week of school!

• Carrider Tags:
• If your child is returning to East next year, please keep your tag. The assigned tags are used every year.
• If your family is graduating or moving from East, please return your Carrider tag to the front office or a dismissal line to be used again.
• Leaving East: If your child will not be attending East Elementary next year, please contact the office.
• Lost & Found: We have a plethora of jackets and other items in our lost and found. Please remind your student to check or take a look when you are on campus.

This month, we’re focusing on integrity. As a campus, we will be challenging students to choose to do the right thing, no matter who is watching! We want to partner with you to highlight your child's integrity!

The newsletters attached below provide several ideas and conversation starters to use as a family this month.

Lubbock-Cooper ISD students wear badges to check out library books, to eat in the cafeteria, and to scan on and off buses. Our office staff and teachers worked diligently last week to ensure that every student has a badge, pocket, and lanyard that is in good condition. Moving forward, if a badge is lost or destroyed, there will be a $5 replacement fee required to cover the cost of supplies.

• When a student comes to the office for a replacement badge, your child will call to inform parents of the lost badge.
• A $5 fee will be added to your students account in Skyward.
• Parents will receive an email notifying them of the charge.
• The badge can be paid for online or cash can be turned into the front office.
• If your student brings their badge home, please ensure that it is returned to school to avoid a fee.

Each month this school year, Mrs. Baird's collects nominations at www.MrsBTeacher.com and honors three teachers--one elementary, one middle school and one high school teachers from South Plains schools. We would love to honor one of your teachers here at East Elementary! You can nominate teachers - past and present - who deserve special recognition.

We are excited to begin our partnership with Watch DOGS for the 2023-2024 school year!

I have attached the registration form below. If you are interested in volunteering as a hallway superhero, please complete the registration form and email it to Joshua Fields, who serves as our East Elementary Watch DOGS Coordinator. Mr. Fields can be reached by email at CooperEastWatchdogs@gmail.com.

Mr. Fields works with our volunteer father-figures to develop a schedule where dads volunteer on campus. They typically give a full-day of their time to work in classrooms, patrol our building, and supervise lunch and recess. Mr. Fields builds each schedule individually, giving each father time in class with their own child and serving in a variety of opportunities around the campus.

Connect with us online to make sure you don't miss any updates or information!

We are excited to launch our East Elementary Google Site, sharing information about our campus. Please check out this wealth of information about our staff family, video highlights of work taking place at East, and news about campus initiatives.
