Lawton 3rd – 5th grade students have been busy with state testing and K-2 students are starting testing soon. Everyone has a role to play in making testing season successful, low anxiety, and efficient.
Families can help us by:
- Getting students to school on time and avoiding early dismissals;
- Sending students with a water bottle and snack every day; and
- Practicing good evening and morning routines so that students are rested and have a healthy breakfast on board when they arrive each day.
Book Drive vs. Book Swap
- Book Drive– Online Only. The book drive is a library fundraiser that takes place entirely online. It’s on now and you can participate here: https://www.btsb.com/sosl/lawtonelementary1/wishlist/
- Book Swap (used book donations) – Starts June 1st. The Book swap will start on June 1st and end on June 7th. Students may bring up to five used books to school to donate. They will be able to pick new books to take home with them and keep. Please send books starting June 1st.
