Volunteer Opportunities!
- We need more people to join our School Site Council! The first meeting is Oct. 8 at 2:30pm right after school. This team is important in looking at our SPSA (School Plan for Student Achievement), and I'll explain everything at the first meeting!
Jog-a-Thon is coming!

I've attached flyers to the bottom of the newsletter, but we've got some pretty cool after-school activities for students this year!
- Soccer Shots is Wednesdays
- AYOP Karate is in our MRP on Wednesday evenings

Our October All-School Assembly is coming up on Friday, October 2!
All parents/caregivers are welcome to join us on the blacktop at 8am. We'll have a dance demo from Haus of Dance (one of the new after-school opportunities we offer here at Lemon Crest), as well as some information from Kids Zone in Parkway Plaza! We'll have our top 3 classes with highest attendance recognized, as well as recognizing our students who got a Positive Office Referral in August or September AND our Teacher and Classified Staff of the Month! We hope you can join us!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Take care,

Principal, Lemon Crest Elementary
This year, our school-wide theme is Growing Stronger Together, inspired by the book The Together Tree by Aisha Saeed. In the story, a tree grows stronger as the animals around it work together, support one another, and celebrate their unique strengths. It reminds us that when we care for one another and work toward a common goal, our entire community flourishes.
At Lemon Crest, we believe every student, family, and staff member plays an important role in helping our school grow. Together, we create a place where students feel safe, valued, challenged, and inspired to do their very best. By building strong relationships, showing kindness, and working as a team, we help every child reach their full potential.
Here is a Read Aloud by Principal Price of the book, The Together Tree. Each classroom also has this book to read and enjoy with the class this year.
Improving our school's attendance and reducing tardies is one of our big school goals!
Coming to school every day on time matters! Attendance is directly linked to academic success, social-emotional development, and future opportunities! We pledge to work with you in order to support your family in getting your child to school every day on time!
If your child is sick, please call the Front Office at 619-390-2527 and press option 1or email: lcattendance@lsusd.net
Missed Lessons = Falling Behind: Even one day can mean missing critical instructions and activities, making it harder for your child to catch up.
Impact on Future Success: Consistent attendance is a strong predictor of academic achievement and future opportunities.
Building Resilience: Regular attendance teaches your child the value of perseverance and responsibility—essential skills for success in life.
Stronger Friendships: Daily presence helps your child develop and sustain friendships, which are crucial for emotional and social development.
Healthy Routine: Attending school every day establishes a stable routine, promoting better mental and physical health.
If you're finding that your child doesn't want to come to school, please reach out to your child's teacher or our School Counselor, Ms. Pfab, so we can work together to support your family! Below is an article about what you can do when your child doesn't want to go to school.
