Dear parents,
The 1st 6 Weeks has come and gone! Time flies when
you are having fun learning! As we are getting settled
in this year, we have a few more adjustments to make
to continue to improve Lipscomb. We never want to
stop striving for the providing the best we can in all
areas. We have finished leveling which means we will
see some programmatic changes. 1. We will be adding
a Kindergarten class. 2. Ms. Menchaca is now
teaching Pre-K. Also, there will be changes in the Dual
Language Program which will effect Bilingual Program.
We have included a letter with this Principal Paw with
additional information to the changes, and how our
campus is coming together to best support each other
during this transition. We will be having a Dual
Language Night on October 15th to answer any
questions, parents may have.
In more exciting news, we are going to have a 5th
Grade Trip to Sky Ranch for all 5th Graders! We want all
to be included so please come to the Parent Meeting
on October 8th! We are off to a great fall and we want
to keep giving a 100% to make sure all students have
a successful year! As always, thanks for your support.
Keep Roaring,
Roxanne Rodriquez
