Weekly Update #2
From the Principal
Dear Luce Road Families,
What an incredible first week it has been at Luce Road ECLC! Our Panther Cubs are already showing us what it means to ROAR — Respect Others, Act Responsibly, and Be Safe. It has been inspiring to watch them step into their classrooms with excitement, courage, and smiles as they begin their big journeys with us.
Kindergarten Adventure Camp is off to a fantastic start. Cubs have had lots of opportunity to “take chances, make mistakes and get messy!” Our Cubs are gaining independence each day and learning how we do school at Luce Road. From walking proudly in line, to taking care of their supplies, to practicing kindness with friends, they are truly becoming leaders in their own learning.
We are so proud of the energy, joy, and effort our students have shown this week. A big thank you to our amazing families for your support, and to our dedicated teaching team for creating safe, caring, and adventurous classrooms where our Panther Cubs can thrive.
This is only the beginning, and we know the year ahead will be filled with curiosity, discovery, and growth. Together, we will make it a year to remember.
Always remember Luce Road is the place “Where Little Panther Cubs Begin Big Journeys”
Warm regards
Mr. Ernest Conerly
Principal, Luce Road ECLC

Celebrating the last week of summer before school was back in session, our Panther Cub Childcare kiddos went on a treasure hunt throughout the halls at Luce Road, finding some prizes at the end of their quest! A great lesson in using their eyes high and low, working as a team and celebrating together when they got the job done!!!
This is how we "Take Chances, Make Mistakes, and Get Messy"! Starting our Big Journey down the adventure path to Kindergarten!

Important Notes to Parents
Clothing
Please make sure you send a change of clothes in for your student. Sometimes accidents happen and it’s helpful for them to have a change of clothes.
Please make sure ALL of your student’s belongings are labeled with their name! If it gets lost, staff will know who to return it to!
End of Day Notes
We have had a fantastic first week at pick up! As a reminder please make sure you have your students’s colored tag at pick up. If you need more please ask your student’s teacher. As a final note please DO NOT remove your student from the pick up line before they are dismissed by a staff member. This way we can ensure the safety of all students.
