Principal's Letter
Dear Lobo Families,
As the first semester comes to an end, please remember to make contact with teachers to talk about your child's grades. Grading day is March 8th. Spring Break is the following week, March 11th - 15th. We hope you are able to enjoy the time off. When we return from break, we will hit the ground running and getting ready for state testing. The AASA will take place in the month of April, starting with Science and Writing, and then ELA and Math. Please remind your child to be in school every day and pay attention to their assigned testing dates.
The district is holding our Professional Learning Day on March 20th. Remember there is no school that day.
Keep in mind there is no school on March 29th, as it is a our Spring Holiday.
Please continue to check our website, Facebook and parent link messages for any updates throughout the school year. If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can always all the front office at 908- 3900 or email the school.
Respectfully,
Ms. Stanbrook

Higher Ground
Higher Ground’s mission is to empower one life at a time to reach, transform, and elevate their community through love and character building. In other words, we work with students, families, and community members to provide any resource that is outside of the scope of education:
● Our student support specialist works closely with students on developing executive functions and decision-making skills to reach their individual goals.
● Our family support specialist works directly with families to achieve their unique goals and locate community resources that they might need.
● Our site director works with students, families, and community members to build community rapport and a pool of resources that empower the community.
We support schools and education professionals by filling in the gaps that families might need so that schools can focus on education. Partnering with local programs and organizations, we act as the bridge between families and any resource that can reach, transform, and elevate their lives according to their individual goals. Our Lawrence team is looking forward to working with you, your students, and your staff this year
