2.20.20 Lower School Principal Message BOOKS & BAGELS March 2nd is our annual Books and Bagels event where we enjoy books over a bagel, while celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. On teacher Shutterfly accounts there will be a sign up to help bring in bagels, fruit, juice, etc. We invite parents to the classrooms to spend the morning, snuggled up over a book. New for this year is that students in grades 4-5 will have a "read-in" where they lock down to read in their classrooms. Parents in these grade levels are welcome in the Dahl for a very causal coffee. If you have children in multiple grade levels, for example grades 1 and 3, you can take both children to one classroom or an outside area to read. The event lasts from 7:45 – 8:30am.
SUMMER SCHOOL - June 15 – July 17 The parent portal on the LJA website is open now for Summer School registration. Check it out today as some classes have already filled! Along with Summer School Principal Kara Omori, we also want to welcome Josh Masagatani (Mr. M) as the new Summer School Vice Principal.
STUDENT LED CONFERENCES Have you signed up for your child's student led conference? Check out your teacher's Shutterfly page so your child can guide you through their learning in this shared event. This is a non-school day but you will need to ensure you attend the conference with your child.
SOCCER SKILLS CLINICS Parents will need to sign a participant release form during check-in at 8:30 a.m. For questions on the clinic, contact Joy Gayton at joy.gayton@lejardinacademy.org. For information on other Chelsea soccer camps, visit the website at www.lejardinsoccer.org.
