Hello Families,

As we wrap up the school year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our parents for your involvement and support. Whether you attended events, volunteered your time, donated items, joined your child for lunch, or stayed connected with teachers, your partnership has made a meaningful impact on your child’s education. Thank you for being your child’s first teacher and for continuing to work alongside us to support their success!

Lost & Found Items

Please be sure to label your child’s items with their first and last name and check any items your child brings home, as jackets and sweaters can easily get mixed up during the day. Next week, our Lost & Found items will be displayed on tables, so please take a moment to look for any missing belongings that may belong to your child.

This year, you modeled what it means to belong to a community.

Citizenship isn’t just something children learn at school. It’s something they watch you model every day.

This year, YOU showed up!
You partnered with teachers.
You encouraged your child to take responsibility.
You spoke with respect.
You supported your campus community in ways both big and small.

And your child was watching.

They saw what it looks like to belong to something bigger than themselves. They learned that being part of a community comes with both privilege and responsibility.

When you volunteered, followed through on commitments, asked how you could help, and reinforced character at home, you were teaching citizenship in the most powerful way possible — by example.

You made a difference this year. Our Life School community is better because of you.

Please stay connected with us this summer through @LSPartnersforLife for continued encouragement and simple ways to keep developing LifeLeaders at home.

It’s not just school. It’s Life.

Please plan to get the required immunizations over the summer and return by orientation night to your campus nurse. Thank you,

Charolette Washington, Campus Nurse

Buzzz… May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and National Physical Fitness Month. 🐝

It’s the perfect time to focus on supporting your child’s overall well-being—both mentally and physically. Children are never too young to begin learning how to care for their health.

You can help your child by encouraging:

• Healthy boundaries and open communication
• Stress management skills
• Daily physical activity

As summer approaches, please also talk with your child about staying safe, including:

• Water safety and always swimming with supervision
• Being aware of their surroundings while playing outside
• Looking both ways and using crosswalks when crossing the street
• Wearing helmets and protective gear when riding bikes or scooters

Studies show that children today are less active than they were 50 years ago, which can increase their risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. Building healthy habits and safety awareness now can make a lasting difference.

Let’s work together to help our children grow into healthy, happy, and safe individuals—strong like a busy bee! 🐝💛

During morning announcements, we will focus on one LifeLeader Attribute each week and learn what we need to do to develop each attribute so that we can become effective leaders in our school and in our community. We encourage students and families to memorize these statements together and talk about how the attribute is exhibited at home, school and work. We will share the I Will statement in the weekly newsletter and on our campus Facebook page. We look forward to hearing how students are exhibiting the attributes at school and home. Click here to view all 15 LifeLeader attributes.

LifeLeader School Rules - Growing Leaders of Character

During the first six weeks of school, we’re introducing our LifeLeader School Rules to help students grow as leaders of strong character. Every two weeks, we’ll focus on one of the three school rules, reinforcing positive behaviors that support our mission.

We invite you to partner with us by asking your child how they are demonstrating these school rules both at school and at home.
