Welcome to the 23-24 school year! We hope everyone had a fun, relaxing, and rejuvenating summer break and that you are prepared for a thrilling new year of learning and discovery! As the proud leaders of Lisbon Elementary School, we are fondly looking forward to another year of collaboration with our entire LES school community. We welcome and value your continuous support to all of our students and staff. We are truly privileged to be your leaders and fortunate to have such a kind and generous school community.
We want to give a warm LES welcome to all of our new families and students. We are thrilled to have you join our Lisbon school community. What a great opportunity to build new relationships with new faces! We all have the power to build meaningful relationships with one another, whether it be student to student, student to teacher, parent to teacher, teacher to parent, parent to administrator, administrator to teacher, administrator to student, parent to parent, family to family. Every school year is about connecting and reconnecting with others. Relationships and being able to support one another are what helps make a school a climate of belonging and opportunity. We want all of our students and families to experience belonging at LES. Our students deserve our very best at Lisbon, and we need to continue to work with every child to help reach their fullest potential. We all need to respect and seek to understand one another as individuals, as students, staff, parents, administrators.
Whether you are an educator, student, or parent, we are all thinking about what the new school year might bring. We encourage you to stay engaged in your child’s education and committed to ensuring that your child attends school on a regular basis. Chronic absenteeism has doubled in nearly every state since the pandemic. It is worsening every year. Our HCPSS recent data has shown that chronic absenteeism is also a concern on a local level. As school leaders, we are asking for you to partner with us to support our students and ensure they come to school every day. Our students are coming out of several years of challenges and obstacles. They need to be present to learn and to grow. Please help us create a culture of showing up each and every day for our students. They are going to need all of our support as we move forward in this school year.
Please rest assured that we’ve spent the summer working to get all of these essential things ready at Lisbon Elementary School:
- Our skilled, compassionate, and dedicated staff are already planning for the arrival of your children.
- Our friendly, resourceful, and helpful office staff have been busy welcoming and registering new families and students.
- Our hard-working, tireless, devoted building service staff have spent countless hours thoroughly cleaning our beautiful school.
- Our amazing, supportive PTA has been gearing up to welcome seasoned and new families, providing volunteer opportunities to all interested, and gearing up to offer many other exciting PTA sponsored events throughout the school year.
We are completely committed to providing each of our students and their families with a positive, collaborative school community. We ask you to join us in supporting all of the students and promoting academic growth and excellence and healthy social emotional well-being.
As your administrative team, we look forward to seeing and meeting you all at the New Families Orientation and Open House Events as well as Back to School grade-level events. Thank you to all who have helped in preparing for this new school year. Your dedication to our LES school community is beyond words. We look forward to connecting and building relationships with all of you and being inspired by your children and energized by their growth and learning.
Go Lions!!
Respectfully,
Debra Anoff, Proud Principal of LES
