June is such a fun month. The learning continues amidst lots of fun special events.
This week:
- Classes redeemed WAVE tickets for frozen treats and celebrations;
- 4th and 5th grade students took walking field trips to rock climb, golf, and explore Discovery Park;
- Lawton Dolphins showcased their skills and talents in our Talent Show; and
- The whole school enjoyed Field Day activities.
Ask your students to share which activities they most enjoyed and to think about the countless volunteers who donated their time to make these events engaging and fun.
End of Year Close-Out
At this point, the following should have been returned to school:
- Student devices and chargers
- Library books
If you still have books or devices at home, please make sure they are returned Monday.
Absences and Early Departures
If you have planned vacations, appointments, or absences in the last week of school, please remember to email the attendance office (lawton) to let us know. Knowing about absences and late arrivals before the start of the school day is helpful for staff as we begin each day.
Lost and Found – Review and claim by Friday, June 17th
Our lost and found racks are overflowing. Please encourage your student to search for lost items or look next time you are in the building. All unclaimed items will be donated on Monday, June 20th.
