LPS Tiger Talk
October 20, 2023
Principal's Message
Dear LPS Families,
We had another great week at LPS. Our teachers have been working hard the last 2 years to learn more about next practices in literacy instruction based on the Science of Reading. They spent time on Monday building independent, personalized, enrichment & reinforcement activities aligned to this work. These activities translate directly into positive learning experiences for our students via Seesaw.
Our goal is to alway improve, to embody life-long learners, and to apply new knowledge to teaching & learning. It was exciting to see our staff learning together and our students immediately benefiting from this work. I hope you had a great week as well.
Enjoy the weekend with your kiddos. We will see our Tigers back on Monday!
Sincerely,
Kevin Fancher

Storybook Costume Parade and Fall Parties, Oct. 31st
Mark your calendars! We are excited to announce our upcoming Storybook Costume Parade and Fall Parties taking place on Tuesday, October 31st. For this special event, students are invited to dress up as a favorite character for the day. Students will come to school in their costumes. Please no masks or weapons and ensure that your child is easily able to get in and out of their costume in order to use the restroom.
The Parade will be from 1:45-2:15 pm on the LPS playground. Families are welcome to attend and watch our First & Second Graders along the parade route - weather permitting. Make sure to arrive in advance to allow enough time to park at Shoppers' Haven (across the street from our building) and walk around the back of our school to our playground. PLEASE NOTE: In case of inclement weather, a Tiger Talk will be sent out the morning of the event to let families know the event is canceled for them. We will still celebrate with our students, but won't be able to host families if the event has to be moved indoors.
Fall Parties will take place after the parade from 2:30-3:30. Only parents who have signed up with their child's teacher to volunteer for the party will be allowed to enter the building after the parade.
