MARCH OF DIMES
Students at LES will be collecting donations for the March of Dimes March 15th-26th. We will soon be giving hope to families of babies born too soon. The funds we raise support programs in our community that help moms have healthy, full term pregnancies. Our efforts also support research to find answers to serious problems that threaten babies' lives.
PASS INFORMATION
All students in the state (grades 3-8) will be taking the PALMETTO ASSESSMENT OF STATE STANDARDS WRITING TESTS according to the following schedule:
Tuesday March 16th Day 1
Wednesday March 17th Day 2
Please try to have your child here every day on time. It is much easier for a student to take the test on the scheduled days with the class than to have to make up a test another day. PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO DO THE VERY BEST HE/SHE CAN DO. This is not a time test so the students can really take their time and try to do well.
Please see that your child:
Goes to bed early each night
Eats a good breakfast
Has two # 2 pencils
Is here on time every day
Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation during a test time.

INTERACTIVE WEB SITE FOR SC PARENTS AVAILABLE NOW !!!!
A new Web site is now available to provide South Carolina families with interactive activities to support the teaching and learning that takes place in the state's public schools.
The site features an online version of the state’s Family-Friendly Standards and is a partnership involving the South Carolina Department of Education, the Education Oversight Committee (EOC) and the State Library.
Each year, the Education Department and EOC publish a series of guides to help families understand South Carolina’s academic standards that set clear, high expectations for student achievement at each grade level. These standards are useful for making sure teachers know what is to be taught; children know what is to be learned; and families and the public can determine how well the concepts are being learned.
