The Weekly Update #4

**Please bring a copy of your child's schedule that was emailed to you at the beginning of the school year. If you don't have it, we will assist you with teacher room numbers.

EVENT SAFETY REMINDER: Lexington-Richland School District Five is committed to the safety of everyone who attends our district events. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the steps we take to ensure event safety for students, staff, and the community. Thank you for your cooperation. We will see you at the game!

• Clear Bag Requirement
• Student Supervision: All students 8th grade or younger are required to attend games with parents or guardians.
• Tickets: Admission will be charged throughout the duration of games.
• Metal Detectors: The district has implemented metal detectors to screen all spectators, beginning with varsity football games at Chapin High School, Dutch Fork High School and Irmo High School International School for the Arts.
• Safety Officials: We partner with law enforcement and event staff to ensure spectator safety for the duration of the event. School Resource Officers also will travel with teams at away games.

Mrs. Chason's Drawing I students explore mark making using experimental techniques like printmaking, coffee painting, watercolor blowing and bubbles. Students enjoyed taking a break from lecturing to experiment with different movements, colors and textures.

The Astronomy classes have just finished up an introductory unit on constellations. They also created their own constellation using star points from the Northern Hemisphere, named it etc., then created a back story of how that constellation came to be.

Here the classes are beginning to learn how to operate the Refracting telescope by focusing on the

banners at the far end of the football field. This will allow them to correctly operate this type of

telescope for future night sky observations.
