Lone Star Elementary

The first of many PLC days began as

grade level teachers came together to

collaborate Staff involvement enables

teachers to learn from one another

through shared planning and in depth

critical examination of what does and

does not work to enhance student

achievement PLC time allows for

powerful professional development and

reliable growth in student learning

LSE is growing in more ways than one as

two of our three expecting teachers

revealed their babyrsquos gender this week

Many parents and guardians were able to

step into their childrsquos shoes this week and

traverse the halls of MMS following the

studentrsquos class schedule - a unique

experience replete with tardy bells and

all They had the opportunity to meet

their childrsquos teachers and learn about the

highlights and expectations of each class

They were also able to make a face-to-

face connection with the educators that

will be spending so much time and effort

on their precious children this year

Teachers were seizing the one-night-a-

year moment to express their dedication

and parents were equally expressing their

gratitude One parent affirmed

ldquoI want to thank every one of you I

was so worried about this year I am

so thankful to all of you for your

support I can already see the sweet

hearts you all have for my little

man Thank you for being a

blessing to him and for setting my

heart at ease knowing he is in loving

handsrdquo
