Dear LES staff,

Thank you all for your flexibility this week as we are pivoting to meet with parents and families virtually during parent-teacher conferences. We have had 93 families complete our family engagement survey and our scores around teachers sharing meaningful information about student progress look great! See our graphs below. Our families recognize our dedication and I am so proud of the effort everyone is putting forth!

Please take a moment to record your conference participation numbers. This will help us determine grade level attendance at virtual conferences: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p0AfQjHoo5IZx4bIN-3VUhjcVycN1-3MzQvtYaY2lB4/edit?usp=sharing

Our Site Council is running a contest to encourage family participation in our Family Engagement Survey. The winning class will receive a pizza party. Here are our current leaders by grade level:

K- Counts

1st- Schimke

2nd-Eilderts

3rd- Turner

Please continue to share our FES survey link with families: : https://forms.gle/ftjsx966VqN9AncNA

Last week we awarded our trophies to the 4 classes who were demonstrating awesome playground behavior. Our winning classes were:

3rd grade: Ms. Davidson

2nd grade: Mrs. Dinwiddie

1st grade: Ms. Villalpando

Kindergarten: Mrs. Barth

Congratulations to our classes who won our restroom expectations trophies. Make sure you are listening this week. We will announce our hallway expectations winners! Have a Wild Week!

Respectfully,

Jennifer Kolb
