👔 PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE 👔 PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Lipscomb Families,


As we Spring Forward and close out Quarter 3 this week, I want to thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our students’ growth. It has been a strong quarter of learning, and we are proud of the progress students are making across grade levels.


This week includes several opportunities to stay connected — Spring Class Pictures on Tuesday, PTA Spirit Night on Wednesday, and virtual parent meetings for our 5th grade Camp Grady Spruce trip on Tuesday and Thursday evening. Your engagement in these moments helps build the strong school community our students deserve.


As we head into Spring Break, please continue encouraging strong attendance and daily reading at home. We look forward to starting Quarter 4 refreshed and ready for a strong finish to the school year.


With gratitude,

Carter
