Dear LCE Families,

Happy New Year! We hope you were able to enjoy time with family and friends during winter vacation. It is hard to believe we are starting the second half of the school year! May 29th will be here before we know it!

The district has a goal of having students be at school at least 96% of the time. Missing a day of school here and there may not seem like a big deal; however, the absences and tardies add up. The instructional day is from 8:05 am until 3:25 pm. When your child is tardy or leaves early on a consistent basis, they are missing important instruction. Please look at the picture below for some interesting numbers. We understand if your child is sick and are keeping them home to keep others healthy. Attendance is important because there is a state law requiring students who are enrolled in school to attend a minimum of 90% of the time a class is offered in order to receive credit for the class or to be promoted to the next grade level. This school year has a total of 173 days; therefore, students may only miss 18 days during the school year. Let's start 2025 strong so we can end the year strong!

Thanks in advance for supporting our students and teachers. We look forward to a productive semester of learning.

Educationally Yours,

Mr. Williams and Ms. Croft

While school is in session, Lexington Creek Park is closed until 5:30 pm on weekdays. This allows Fort Bend ISD Extended Learning Program at Lexington Creek to have private access just as all of our students do during recess. Regular city park hours (6:00 am to 11:00 pm) apply on holidays and weekends. Please share this information with your neighbors who might also have older children.

Health Screenings ~ If your child received a referral letter, please follow up with your child's health care provider as soon as you can. It is important that they can see and hear properly to be successful in the classroom. Please reach out to me if you need assistance or have any questions or concern

Immunizations ~ If your child received the COVID vaccine or any updated immunizations, please email me the updated record.
