Luck of the OWLs Form

Congratulations to Ms. Brittney Wilson and Ms. Erin Figueras of Lucy T. Davis Elementary who successfully wrote a grant to the South Carolina Arts Commission for music and math supplies. The $3,450 project will supply musical instruments to the music classroom at LTD and math supplies for a community math night at the IGA supermarket on April 4th. The two will also engage students in interdisciplinary lessons which incorporate math concepts into music instruction. Congrats Ms. Wilson and Ms. Figueras!

All 3rd - 5th graders will be taking the Linkit benchmark test for ELA and Math. The purpose of these assessments are to identify students' academic strengths and weaknesses. We will use this information to guide future instruction, and support success. Your child will take ELA on Tuesday, March 21st and Math on Thursday, March 23rd. We ask that students arrive to school on time, eat a good breakfast and are encouraged to do their very best.

Our 3rd-5th graders will take SC Ready in May. Click HERE to find out what to expect as your child prepares to take their end of year state assessments.

Third grade REACH students got a workout this week! They completed a burpee challenge and gathered data. Next, they created and analyzed a class line plot to see how many burpees a typical third grade student could complete in one minute.

The following rules concerning student dress apply at LTD:

• Shoes must be worn with laces tied at all times.
• Shorts should be fingertip length. Short shorts or halter tops are not permitted.
• Straps on overalls must be fastened and worn on the shoulder.
• Pants and shorts must be worn with the waist of the pants around the waist of the student (not below the hips).
• Clothing with obscene or suggestive sayings written on them will not be allowed.

If necessary, parents may be asked to pick up their child from school.

** This information is located at the front of each child's agenda. **
