It was so wonderful to welcome students back to school on Tuesday. This week 4th and 5th graders spent time in clubs learning more about their own interests and building connections across classrooms. Ask any 4th or 5th grade teacher or student about their clubs and how they help support student leadership at Lawton!
We hope 2022 is off to a great start for your family and will be filled with curiosity, learning, and joy.
Dress Warm and Label Your Layers
Please make sure your student is dressed to comfortably play outside every day. Remember to label all coats and outerwear with your student’s name. We donated lots of unmarked items before break. Our goal is to return items to their owners, but we can only do that if they are labeled.
BLT
Lawton’s Building Leadership Team (BLT) is looking for a parent rep. Lawton’s BLT facilitates collaborative site-based decision making and, together with the principal, oversees development of the school budget. Lawton’s BLT meets monthly (generally from 3-4pm on the second Monday of each month). If you’re interested in serving, please email andeno.
Health and Safety Updates
Lawton Covid Update. This week (1/3 – 1/7), Lawton sent zero classroom COVID notifications. Any Covid-positive students we’ve been notified about were confirmed positive before our return to school on January 4th and were not on campus during their contagious period.
Mask Reminder. Please ensure your student wears a well-fitting mask to school each day. A well-fitting mask covers their mouth and nose completely. We appreciate each student having a spare mask or two in their backpack for when masks get wet or soiled.
