Lawton Families,
As we enter into March, students in all of our classes at Lawton are really blossoming academically, and are demonstrating so much growth in social emotional learning skills! This year our staff has been really intentional about inviting families to school to celebrate student learning in a variety of ways, and we love seeing you visit our classrooms, come to our assemblies, and join us at evening class events lately and throughout this year – so thank you for your partnership and engagement at Lawton!
This time of year we also get very excited about extension or enrichment opportunities for students to dig deeper into academic areas, like student writing and research projects, our recent Book Fair (where our amazing community not

Lawton Families,
I feel like you’re hearing from me every day – but it is time for my bi-weekly message! Thanks for supporting your children during remote learning last week – it’s a challenge, but we like to keep students learning as much as possible, and it saves us from adding days to the end of the year! And please be sure to always send the devices back to school after they are sent home – thank you!

Lawton Families,
It was so fun to see so many families in the building this week at our PTA Bingo Night and Lawton Book Fair! Events like these really support a sense of community and reinforce our love for learning and for play at Lawton, and we appreciate the all hard work that our PTA and staff (shout out to Ms. Gallegos!) give to make our school events possible!
On that note – as we are at the mid-year mark, I have created a really short Family Engagement and Feedback survey that I would love you to click on and fill out. I will share the anonymous responses with our Building Leadership Team, PTA and staff in February so
