Dear Parents,

I apologize for not sending this out yesterday – the shortened week threw me off! We are on the countdown for the last 10 days of school. With the end of year comes the End of Grade Tests for our 3rd-5th graders and end of year celebrations. It is very important that our 3rd-5th graders are getting a good night sleep before the test day AND eat a healthy breakfast. The students need to remember their breathing techniques if they become overwhelmed or anxious during the test. They need to breathe and do their best showing what they know. Please talk with your child about the difference between “doing their best and leaning into the work” versus “giving up and guessing.”

If you arrive on campus and there is no place to park in our parking lot, remember that you can park on Darien Drive AFTER 8:30 a.m. You can also park and walk from Highland Church.

Be sure to click on the Lacy PTA and Foundation information link is HERE!

Grateful for you,

Sherri Miller

CONCIOUS DISCIPLINE TIP

Remind yourself at least five times daily, “What I focus on, I get more of.” Remind yourself of this when you wake up, at meals, at bedtime, and whenever you are upset. #iHeartCD

SAFETY UPDATES

Please refrain from taking a left out of our parking lot in the afternoons during carpool. It is against the law AND it clogs up the exiting of cars.

Here is a link to our Lacy Protocols for Families to better understand our structures and routines to ensure that every child is safe and learning in our building. The district is using the latest CDC guidelines for COVID: Covid-19 Information
