Newsletter Issue 9 – May 8, 2015 The Director’s Corner Counselor’s Corner LPCS Parents, Don’t Drop School-Year Routines Thank you for your support during Phase II of the PARCC exams. We greatly appreciate it. We only have a few more weeks of school left but we have so much planned for our students. Please take a look at the Student Life section of this newsletter to see all of the planned activities. Please encourage your child to review all homework that is required of them. As we move into the last few weeks of school, students should continue to work hard and do their very best and finish the school year strong. End-of-Year exams are coming up on May 21-22 and 26-28. These exams will factor in as 40% of their final grade. If you should have any academic concerns, please contact your child’s AQC (Academic Quality Controller). We always welcome your concerns and ideas. Please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to be of service to you. Sincerely, Vickie Carroll Enrollment (2015-2016) We are currently enrolling K-2nd and 6th-8th grades for the 2015-2016 school-year. Additional grades will be added each year until we become a K-8th grade program. Please contact the front office for additional information. Summer vacation is almost here. For many families, it’s time to relax. But some routines should stay in place. Children should read every day. Reading is one of the most important school skills, and it fades without practice. Some families read for 30 minutes right after lunch. It’s a nice way for children and parents to have some quiet time. Encourage kids to exercise. Obesity is a serious health risk for kids. Take advantage of good weather to play outside or go for walks. Assign chores. Children may not have “homework,” but they can still work at home. Chores help kids focus on self-discipline and responsibility.
