Dear Parents and Guardians,

It is so hard to believe that the school year is 1/2 over.  We are excited to recognize our students at our 1^st semester Honors Assemblies on January 27^th. We look forward to seeing the children blossom and grow more in the New Year. We had a very busy December here at LCES with many accomplishments to celebrate. We had 26 students from grades 2-5 participate in the LCES Spelling Bee.  These Top 2 Spelling Winners: 1^st place-Eric Gold (3^rd) and 2^nd place- Ben Loftis will move onto the County Spelling Bee on January 27th. That is a great accomplishment for these students. A huge applause to our teachers and students who participated in the Bowling Green Christmas Parade on December 10th.  We are very proud of the Dance Team, who is under the direction of Mrs. Ballard for winning 3rd place.  Also our LCES Chorus marched and danced with our Dance Team. We firmly believe in collaboration between home and school to do the best for the kiddos. Reminder that many of our grade levels are sending home permission slips for an upcoming field trip, please be sure to sign and return along with the monies to support the educational field trip.  We appreciate your support and time. 

Here are just a few reminders, as we work together to provide a safe and secure environment for our stakeholders:

• Students may arrive between 8:20-8:45 a.m. daily; after 8:45a.m., your child will be considered tardy;
• Breakfast begins at 8:20a.m. and ends at 9:00 a.m.;
• All visitors must enter through the front of the building and sign in at the front desk, proper Identification is required;
• All tardy students must be signed in by an adult after 8:45a.m.;
• Please arrive before 3:00 p.m. if you must sign out your child before dismissal, we will be unable to dismiss at the front desk after this time as we will be preparing for bus and car rider dismissal;
• Every day counts for attendance.  Please be reminded that all students must be in school a minimum of three hours to be counted present. Students with five (5) tardies or (5) early dismissals during the school year will not be eligible for perfect attendance awards.
• If your child is a car rider, please stay in your vehicle and follow the car rider line for drop off and pick up.
