Lilyana Elementary

Dear Lilyana Elementary Families,

Next week will be full of excitement at Lilyana! We’re celebrating Walnut Grove Homecoming with fun dress-up days, and families can now access their child’s beginning-of-year assessment data in Edugence.

On September 16th, we are thrilled to welcome author McCall Hoyle for an engaging visit with our 3-5th grade students. To top it off, we kicked off our Golden Ticket recognitions and celebrated our very first winners this week!

Warmly,

Dr. Natalie Miller
Principal

The Texas Legislature has mandated that children who meet certain grade criteria be screened for specific health problems. These screenings will take place at Lilyana during the school day on September 9th. If applicable, please be sure that your child wears their glasses on this day. If we are unable to fit all screenings in one day they may be completed on another day. The required screenings are broken down by grade level as follows:

· Kindergarten: hearing & vision

· 1st grade: hearing, vision and risk assessment for Type 2 Diabetes

· 3rd grade: hearing, vision and risk assessment for Type 2 Diabetes

· 5th grade: hearing, vision and risk assessment for Type 2 Diabetes

· All new-to-district students in 2nd & 4th: hearing & vision

For more information on the required screenings please visit https://www.dshs.texas.gov/schoolhealth/tgshs-services/

Your students will participate in one or more formative assessments throughout the 25-26 school year. These assessments will help us understand students' academic achievement and growth, allowing us to identify areas where we can provide the best support throughout the year.

To access the scores, please log in to the Edugence Parent Portal using your Skyward login information. If you need to change your Skyward password, you can do so immediately in Skyward; however, the update will take up to 24 hours to reflect in Edugence.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education. If you have any questions about their results, please contact their teacher.

We are excited to welcome author McCall Hoyle to our campus on September 16th! Ms. Hoyle, author of Stella, Just Gus, Millie, and Forever Ripley, will be speaking with our 3rd–5th graders about her books and the writing process. Students who would like a signed copy can purchase one of her books and bring it to their homeroom teacher by September 11th, labeled with their full name and homeroom.

Next week is HOCO Week at Walnut Grove!! See graphics for parade and pep rally info! Make sure to come early and have some fun in Wildcat Alley before the parade! GO CATS!

At Lilyana, we love to celebrate students who show great character, and Golden Tickets are one of the ways we do just that. Students can earn these tickets from any staff member when they demonstrate the wonderful traits we focus on : Respect, Responsibility, Gratitude, Empathy, Perseverance, Honesty, Cooperation, Courage, Creativity, and Kindness.
