First Full Week!!

Good evening, LSE Team!

I hope last week's meetings went well and that you enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with your colleagues while also making progress on setting up your classrooms and offices. I know everyone has been working hard to prepare for an amazing school year!

This week will be a busy one.

Monday: July 27, 2028: Tomorrow is our districtwide Elementary Professional Development Day. Most of you will be attending sessions at Black Creek, while others will be at DCVA, the District Office, Carolina Elementary School, Hartsville High School, or DCIS.

Please review the schedule that was shared by Dr. Reynolds or me. All morning sessions begin at 8:00 a.m., and afternoon sessions begin at either 11:00 a.m. or 12:15 p.m., depending on your assigned session.

Food trucks will be available on campus for lunch, so there is no need to leave. Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own lunch if you prefer

RA, SPED, GT stop by when you can!!

Lunch is on your own from 12:00–1:15 p.m. We ask that your classroom be ready by 3:00 p.m. so you can focus on welcoming families.

Our Meet & Greet will be held from 3:30–5:00 p.m. This is not intended to be conference time. It is simply an opportunity to welcome students and families, help students become familiar with their classroom, and collect any school supplies they bring. We will dismiss as close to 5:00 p.m. as possible.

Please make sure there are no items stored in the hallway outside your classroom door. If you need assistance from the custodial staff, please let Dr. Reynolds know so she can coordinate support. Our custodians have a full list of tasks to complete as they prepare the building, so we want to help them stay focused while ensuring you receive assistance when needed.

Work in your office/classroom. Some teachers may have PD. I will meet with some teachers to discuss SLO.

We will meet briefly at 10:00 to discuss “First Day with Students Procedures”.

STUDENTS ARE BACK ON CAMPUS!!!!
