VOLUNTEER THANK YOU
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped
with the Fall Carnival.
Dear Cool Cats—
October was an outstanding month here at Lewisville.
The students have settled into their routines and lots of learning is occurring in our classrooms.
In the next few weeks your child’s teacher will be
contacting you to schedule a parent conference. I would
encourage everyone to attend. This is the best way for
you to learn where your child is academically. If you
have questions before the conference or at anytime
during the year please contact the school. Teachers can
be reached during their planning times or after school for
telephone calls or conferences. Stopping by for unan-
nounced conferences before school is not recommended.
Teachers are expected to greet their students at 7:40AM.
It is important that the teachers have time and privacy to
address your needs. Notes or e-mails are also other ways
to successfully communicate with teachers. Our PTA Fundraiser was a great success!! A big
thank you goes out to our parents and students that
raised money and our PTA members for setting it all up
and donating their time.
As always, I would like to thank you for your
dedication and support of Lewisville Elementary. I would
like to wish each of you a Happy Thanksgiving season.

These symptoms include vomiting, diar-rhea, sore throat, rashes, ear pain, mucus or redness in their eyes. These conditions along with a fever may need to be addressed by a
