A Note from Mr. Burkett
Dear Parents and Students,
As we head back to school from Spring Break, I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable time! I hope you had a chance to soak up some sunshine, relax, and recharge. As the weather warms up this month, it’s also a great time to remind everyone about bicycle safety—please be sure to wear a helmet and stay safe while enjoying the outdoors!
We’ll kick off April with the Month of the Military Connected Child, a special time to recognize and celebrate our military families. We have a variety of exciting events planned, including our Family Picnic, Schoolwide Photo, Fun Run, and several activities organized by our amazing PTA. We can’t wait to celebrate together!
I also want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of reregistration. Our staffing, budget, and class lists all depend on accurate enrollment numbers, and we need every family to complete this process as soon as possible. Right now, only about 330 families have reregistered, and we have nearly 600 students. If you haven’t done so already, please log into ASPEN and complete the process this week.
Finally, over the break, I encourage all our students to get outside and play! Free play is so important—whether it’s making up new games, socializing with friends, or solving problems on their own, these experiences help kids grow and learn in ways that are just as valuable as classroom lessons.
Enjoy your break, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone for a fantastic 4th Quarter.
-Mr. Burkett, LES Principal
