Continuity of Learning- Skills and concepts build on each other each day. Missing school disrupts the continuity of learning and makes it difficult for students to grasp new concepts and stay on track. Many students feel overwhelmed after missing school because the learning has continued without them, and they now have to learn what was taught when they were gone, as well as what is being taught today.
Families, we want your feedback. Please take our School Nurse Services Survey.

FRIDAY -1/17/25 @ LUES
For our iReady Celebration, students that reached their goal or scored green on iReady will receive extra recess Friday, 1/17/25. We will have a colored chalk powder to add into the celebration. We will only put powder on the students that want it, so make sure to send them in clothes that can get dirty, caps/hats for hair, or tell your child not to participate in that part if you do not want them to get chalk on them. There will be balloons, sour candy, and music to go along with extra recess. Congratulations on your child's success!
As we welcome a new year, it's a great time to reflect on some timeless character traits that benefit us at every stage of life. These are wonderful reminders to share and discuss with your loved ones at home. Let’s make this year one of growth and kindness together!
