LUES FAMILY FOCUS: HOMEWORK HELP & STUDY SKILLS
Homework and study kills are integral pieces of your student's academic success. This month we will be sharing some insights and strategies that can help you and your child establish effective study skills and homework routines at home. By implementing these strategies and fostering a supportive environment, you can help your child develop effective study skills and homework routines that will serve them well throughout their academic journey. Together, we can ensure their success in school and beyond!

LUES Parents to LUNCH
To clarify: Some students go to lunch with a different teacher than their homeroom, but the schedule is set based on the HOMEROOM teacher, not who they go to lunch with. Please follow the schedule based on the HOMEROOM teacher even though they may be going to lunch with a different teacher. Thanks! Sorry for any confusion, Mrs. Stone
