Leading, Succeeding and Excelling Together Longhorn Roundup Dear LSE Family and Friends, It s December!! This is such a joyful time of year for all of us here at LSE! We have 3 weeks of instruction, and we need your help with keeping our kids focused and on track. Please assure that students come to school on time in order to get their day started right. Research proves that when students come to school every day and on time, there is a direct positive influence on academic achievement. We continue to make strides with our learning at LSE. Our goal is that every single student receives high quality and engaging instruction in every single classroom. This year, we have targeted priority standards, when it comes to instruction, in order to provide in-depth instruction. We have also dived into focused collaborative assessments, of these priority standards, to better prepare our students at that next level. We feel the excitement that December brings already! I wish you and your family lots of love and joy during this time of year. Sincerely, Gracie M Espinoza Dust off your Cowboy Boots! Boot Scoot Will be on February 9, 2019 Visitor Procedures For the safety of our students and staff, all visitors to campus during school hours MUST stop in the front office to sign in and obtain a visitors badge.
