Elementary students should work on the snow day packets that were sent home yesterday. Middle school and high school students should complete work assigned by their teachers in Google classroom.
Please reach out by email to teachers with any questions.

Colder Weather means...
Lots of layers, zippers and buttons. Thank you for sending your student in with appropriate layers to keep them happy and warm during outside recess. With the additional layers comes additional time spent helping students manage all those cuff layers, zippers and buttons.
You can help...
Take time every day (even just a couple of minutes) helping your child become proficient and independent in dressing for the colder weather. Practice zipping those jackets, affixing hats to heads, and getting those mittens under the coat cuffs.
Thank you so much for supporting all of us while we support all our students!

🎃 Halloween Fun at LER!
The excitement of Halloween is in the air, and we know many are wondering — costumes or no costumes?
Students are welcome to wear their costumes to school on Friday, October 31st! We just ask that costumes be school-appropriate and avoid any violent or insensitive themes.
To keep everyone safe and comfortable, please remember that masks and props should stay at home — they can be tricky to manage and may cause distractions during the day.
We can’t wait to see everyone’s festive spirit and creative costumes! 🧡
