I want to take this moment to say thank you to all of our families for a great first half to our school year. Our students are growing socially and academically at an incredible pace. We have continued to challenge our students with the new writing curriculum and a higher level of differentiation during the math block. Our community events have been packed and joyful, while our school-based celebrations have brought out the best in our students. We recognize that growth at LT begins in the household, so thank you all for trusting us with your special children. I want to wish every a happy and safe holiday season. Please see the updates below as we close out 2017:

Missing Clothes: We completely understand the frustration of lost coats, hats, gloves, etc., and are trying to create a better system. Unfortunately, the front office staff cannot spend time searching for missing clothing, so we are asking for your help. In the back of the cafeteria we will continue to keep our lost and found tables. If something is missing, and not on the table, please use the white board above the back tables to write student name and the piece of missing clothing. Hopefully, this will help retrieve a few more. Also, please make sure student names are on all coats!
