Greetings
In a few short days we will welcome students to a new school year! The excitement of the start of school is evident in your positive attitudes and eagerness to prepare for your new students. Our students are fortunate to have an amazing staff that see the ability and potential in each of them. Teaching your classroom procedures and sharing expectations will help students adjust to being back at school and in a routine. Your smile will make students feel safe and know how much you care about each and every one of them.
As we prepare for a new year talk with fellow teachers about their best practices and share yours! We can all grow by communicating and collaborating in the best interest of students. As we focus on next Monday, how will you make every student feel welcome and peak their interest in learning? I know you will be the champion that your students deserve. |

Back to School Updates
Class rosters have been shared with you in a google document. Please remember these are likely to change as students drop and add. Mrs. Herring will update your google document as changes occur. Also, rosters should not be shared outside of our LGES staff. Finalized lists will be printed and distributed on Thursday afternoon before Orientation begins.
Take a few minutes to review the cumulative folders of your students to learn a little about them. If you notice anything missing the beginning of the year would be a great time to start asking for those items.
Please review the list of items we should complete during the First 10 Days of School.
