Dear Fifth-Grade Parents,

As we prepare for an exciting Spring semester, we are thrilled to share an opportunity we’re considering for our fifth-grade students: a three-day, two-night trip to Collin County Adventure Camp in Anna, Texas, from April 28-30, 2025.

Why is this camp so important?

This camp offers a hands-on educational experience where students will engage in interactive science lessons, team-building activities, and outdoor exploration in a fun and supportive environment. It’s designed to inspire both academic and personal growth, while also creating lasting memories and strengthening the bonds among classmates.

In fact, after surveying our students, we’re excited to report that over 90% of them expressed enthusiasm about attending this camp!

What can parents expect?

We are confident that this experience will have a positive impact on your child, fostering growth in confidence, teamwork, and a love for science. We are also working diligently to secure funding so that all students have the opportunity to participate.

To get a better sense of what the camp looks like, here’s a video link to another DISD school’s experience (minute 16:57).

For more details about the camp schedule and activities, please click here. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. Our goal is to make this an enriching and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

We look forward to partnering with you to make this trip a reality for our students!

Please fill out the interest form by January 17, 2025

Sincerely,

AP Yetts and the Fifth-Grade Team:

Ms. Armenta, Ms. Bustos, and Ms. Dia

Parent conferences are a key opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher and discuss their progress. Here’s what you need to know:

• Conference Week: Spring Parent Conferences will take place the week of January 27.
• Flexible Scheduling: Teachers will work with families to schedule conferences at times that fit your needs. Meetings can be held in person or virtually, based on your preference.
• What to Expect: During the conference, your child’s teacher will discuss their progress, areas for growth, and ways we can work together to support their success.

We encourage all families to take advantage of this time to partner with us in supporting your child’s education. Look for more details from your teacher soon, and be sure to plan ahead to join us during this important week!

Together, we can keep our community engaged and up to date on all the exciting happenings at Lipscomb!

We are excited to share that we now have a hygiene closet stocked with male and female products available for any family in need. Additionally, as the temperatures drop, we are providing winter coats to ensure our students stay warm during the colder months.

If your family could benefit from either resource, please reach out to Counselor Green (lwinfield@dallasisd.org) . We will discreetly ensure your student is sent home with what they need. We’re here to support our Lipscomb Lions!

When the outside temperature or wind chill dips below 32°F, recess will move indoors to ensure everyone's comfort and safety. During outdoor activities, staff will keep a close eye on students, particularly those with health conditions, to make sure they're warm and comfortable.

Please take a moment to fill out the survey below. Special thanks to Mrs. Trotter for developing this awesome tool for our school and community.
