FREE COVID-19 testing!
Why regular testing is important:
• Testing provides the opportunity to understand the spread and nature of the virus
• If the county tests more than the current state average, it will benefit the county’s score in terms of the state’s reopening model.
¡Prueba COVID-19 GRATIS!
Por qué es importante realizar pruebas periódicas:
• Las pruebas brindan la oportunidad de comprender la propagación y la naturaleza del virus
• Si el condado obtiene más pruebas que el promedio estatal actual, beneficiará la puntuación del condado en términos del modelo de reapertura del estado.

Great job last week LUESD Family! We are on week 3 Activity 1!
When we are able to return to in person instruction, there will be a list of symptoms for you to review with your child. If your child has any of the symptoms, they will need to stay home. Please review this letter thoroughly. Keeping symptomatic individuals home will be an important part of slowing the spread of this virus. Start practicing this review of symptoms before the start of school so the first day is familiar.

Activity 5- Take a selfie! Take a picture of your child wearing their mask and ask your family and friends to text pictures of them wearing a mask too. It will help your child build confidence wearing a mask when they see their friends and family also wearing one. Upload it to your facebook with the hashtag #LUESDStrong to be featured on our facebook!
Week 2 of our Practice at Home Series Activity 4 - Print out this coloring book (click on link below) and have your child color the pages. Seeing people wearing masks will help them get prepared for all the masked faces they will see.
https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/796638/mask_coloring_book.pdf
Week 2 of our Practice at Home Series Activity 3- Play is a great way for a child to learn. Help your child make masks out of paper, tape, or string for their figurines, stuffed animals, and dolls. Then, pretend play "school" by having your masked friends line up, sit in a classroom, and other pretend school activities. This will help your child get use to the idea of others wearing masks around them.

As we are wrapping up the Week 1 activities in our Practice At Home Series, we know that talking with your child and answering their questions about these new skills is the best tool for your child. Please look through all of our Week 1 activities that are linked on our Reopening Plan page of our district website. Today, you can review or print out this resource to read and revisit with your child often this summer.

On October 2, 2019, your child will bring home a Federal Impact Aid survey form. We appreciate you taking the time to fill out this survey and promptly return it to your child’s school. Each completed survey is extremely important as these forms help bring in federal dollars to help the Lemoore Union Elementary School District with the cost of educating our students.
Under the Federal Impact Aid program, Congress provides financial assistance to affected school districts. Impact Aid is designed to assist school districts that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt federal property or that have experienced increased expenditures due to the enrollment of federally connected children, including children living on Indian lands or military installations. The program supports local school districts with concentrations of children who reside on Indian lands or military bases or who have parents/guardians employed on eligible federal properties.

Operating behind the scenes, LUESD maintenance and custodial staff work diligently to ensure a safe, clean, and functional learning and working environment.

Attendance and achievement are directly linked. Students learn foundation skills, like math and
reading, in the early years. Children who miss school in the elementary years are more likely to
struggle academically and, in later years, to dropout entirely. #attendanceawarness #attendancematters #everydaycounts #schooleveryday #IHeartA2A
Did you know that children can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of the school year? That’s just 18 days or 2 to 3 days a month. And that can add up before you know it. This September our district is celebrating Attendance Awareness Month with a renewed push to get all kids to school—on time, every day. Research shows us that absences add up. We know there will be days when your child will miss school, especially when they’re sick. But we also know that nationwide, as many as 7.5 million students miss 10 percent of the school year. This drastically contributes to students falling behind academically because they have missed too many days.
So this September, for Attendance Awareness Month, let’s work together as a community – to get all kids to school – on time, every day. Thank you for your support as our kids belong in school!!
Labor Day Holiday - No School Monday, September 2, 2019.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday!
Please note there will be no school on May 27, 2019.
Registration for any student who will be NEW to the Lemoore Union Elementary School District for the 2019/2020 school year will need to be completed online.

Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom.
They play a pivotal role in our children’s lives, inspiring a lifelong love of learning and discovery and making a difference in their well-being and long-term success.
Don't forget to Thank A Teacher!
