Link here for more information about the Scholastic Book Fair at LTE and use this link to set up eWallet for student shopping.

• Student Shopping - Students may always shop before or after school with their families, but if they have money or credit in their eWallet, they may also shop when it is convenient during the school day: upon teacher approval, during a Brain Break or Lunch Recess.

• Teacher Wish List - Teachers select books they would like to have in their classroom. If you would like to purchase a book for your child’s classroom, choose one from our Teacher Wish List section and let us know when you check out. Thanks!

Student Use of Communication Devices (CDs) in School - Board Policy IICJI: Devices under this definition include, but are not limited to, cell phones (e.g., Android, iPhone, flip phones), wearables (e.g., smart watches, earbuds/headphones, smart eyeglasses), cameras, audio and/or video recorders and players, and all other handheld or mobile electronic communication and data storage devices. Laptops or tablets used for school purposes are excluded from this definition. At DCSD elementary schools, students with CDs must keep them silenced (no vibration or sound), stored, and not used during the entirety of the school day. Any student use of CDs with cameras and/or video recording capabilities is prohibited in locker rooms, bathrooms, or any location where such use could violate another person's reasonable expectation of privacy.

What does this mean for our LTE students? All communication devices, as listed above, must be powered down and stored in students’ backpacks before entering the building in the morning until 3:10pm. If students need to call parents or guardians during the day they may ask to use the phone in the front office. Likewise, if parents need to contact their student, please call the front office and we will immediately pass along the information to them, 303-387-7450

• LTE Spirit Wear is now available to purchase! Orders need to be in by the end of the day, August 31.

The district provides severe weather notification to the front office, and we follow their guidelines for severe conditions indicated on the radar. If lightning is within an 8-mile radius, students will be contained in the building for recess or any other school activity. We use the WeatherBug APP—we encourage parents to use these tools to self-monitor conditions.

Red Flag Dismissal Procedures

If severe weather happens during dismissal, we will suspend normal dismissal procedures and implement our Red Flag Dismissal Procedures.

• By 2:50 pm we will:

• Place red flags at the entry point to both pickup loops designating that parents need to enter the building to sign out their child

• Send out a mass email announcing a Red Flag (lightning) dismissal

• Parents need to park and enter our building at either the main entrance or the Kindergarten entrance and once inside proceed to the appropriate classroom to sign out their child.

• Students will be monitored until an authorized adult (at least 18 years old) signs them out.

• Walkers and bike riders will be allowed to call home at 3:15 pm

• Supervision ends at 3:30 pm so all students need to be picked up by that time

• Students registered for Lion's Club for the day will go there as usual until released
