Greetings, Elementary Families!

At our school, we believe faith is something we live out every day, not just talk about. Jesus reminds us, “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34). This month, we’re encouraging our students and families to talk about the many ways that Christ shows His love for us and then look for simple ways to love and serve others—at school, in your church, and throughout our community.

As a family, choose one intentional way to serve this week—help a neighbor, participate in a church ministry, write a note of encouragement, or serve together in your community. Then talk about how serving others helps us reflect Jesus’ love.

Thank you for partnering with us to raise children who know Truth, love God deeply, and live out their faith with joyful service.

Mrs. Yoder

Spring Break Approaching... March 20-29

Always Learning, Always Growing

As we approach the end of the 3rd Quarter, we are celebrating another nine weeks of learning and growing together this school year! Teachers will be finishing up grades this week, and report cards will be sent home in Friday Folders before Spring Break. We are also taking time to reflect on areas where continued growth is needed. Recently, we have noticed an increase in students arguing with teachers and TAs or expressing frustration in an unhealthy manner when something doesn’t go their way. At our school, we want to help students grow not only academically but also in Christlike character and a biblical worldview. Learning to respond respectfully to authority and to handle disappointment with humility and self-control are important parts of that growth. As followers of Christ, we encourage our students and one another to be “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry" (James 1:19), and to develop resilience when faced with challenges. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these values at home as we work together to help our students grow in faith, character, and maturity.

Carline Reminders

Arrival: Please remember that students get picked up from holding room by their teachers at 7:45 each morning (8:15 on Mondays), so planning to arrive at that time will help your child start the day well and with a little less stress.

Dismissal: Carline ends at 3:05. Students being picked up by older siblings are taken to the foyer at that time, and all other students get signed into Aftercare. With the earlier dismissal, we aren't fighting MS/HS carline to get on campus for pick-up, so please plan to arrive by 3:05 so that your child does not have to get signed into Aftercare unnecessarily.

General: If other people are picking up or dropping off, please help them by communicating our carline procedures with them in advance.

Lunch Reminders

If your child needs a spoon or fork to eat their packed lunch, please pack one. Plastic ware may not be available to students.
Practice opening items at home so that your kids be as independent as possible.
Remind students not to trade food or snacks at school.
Lunch visitors must have a background check on file and eat in a designated area.
If ordering school lunch...
- Check dates of field trips, appointments, etc. No refunds will be issued unless your child has an unplanned excused absence (illness).
- Check the menu to make sure your child will eat what is offered. We see a lot of food wasted every day. Choose the "bento box" option if you have a picky eater.
- Orders for the week must be placed by the Tuesday before.
- Contact our food service crew (genuine@lakewoodpark.org) with lunch order questions!
