Good Evening Panther Families as you may be aware we are still in a Transportation crunch this week. Steven is driving the North bus route. Teachers Lyle and Amber will be doing the morning south van run pick up. The after school PM south drop offs will be driven by Cliff Tuesday, Thursday ,and Friday and Wednesday by Shelley, leaving campus at 3:20pm. Please be available to pick up your child at their stop. As many parents that can pick up or drop off would be greatly appreciated. Please contact the school at 707-925-6285 if you have any questions and to confirm who needs parent/school transportation. Were expected to be back to our normal transportation operation next week. Thanks so much for your patience, understanding and help as we get through this transportation dilemma.
We will be showing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse outside tonight by the gazebo at dusk for Family Movie Night. Special thanks to our student leadership for their planning and preparation. We hope to see you all here!
The second and third grade class is off to a great school year! We spent the first week learning about how to be a “Class Family” and worked together doing team-building projects like the Saving Fred Challenge. We also created our Future Leaders bulletin board, talking about our strengths and interests and a career that might match those skills. The second week of school we spent assessing students to see where their needs are in areas such as penmanship, number writing, reading, and math. This week we have begun small groups and are easing into curriculum, as well as continuing to practice procedures and routines. We are starting off the year with a novel study using Because of Winn Dixie, and are enjoying learning about the characters and how they interact with one another.
As many parents who can bring their kids in would be much appreciated. We are doing our best to cover. The morning transportation to the south side on Thursday and Friday this week will be as follows:
-Laytonville will need to bring kids to school
-Bell Springs and Cummings will be picked by Shelly in a van
-South Leggett students will be picked up in a van by Korina and Shelly
Dear Panther Families,
You may be aware that we are in a transportation crunch this week. Steven is driving the north bus route and we are trying to cover the south bus run with the 2 vans and available staff. We have 31 students on the south run and 17 seats in two vans. If your student rides the south bus and you're able to drive them to and or from school for the remainder of this week through the end of next week, September 15, please call Korina at 925-6285. If we can get the number of students who really need transportation down to 17, we will not have to cancel stops as long as we have the drivers we need. We will keep you updated as much as possible.
Dear Leggett Families,
What a wonderful week we have had! Thank you to those who came to Back to School Night. Leggett is owed a food truck! Fingers crossed! And, it was so fun to spend time with those students and families at the Mountain Folk Festival on Saturday. The parade was adorable.
I need to clarify the rules around sick kids and doctor's notes. I have learned that it is up to the district to decide if that is necessary and not actually mandatory. We will NOT be requiring a doctor's note for sick kids to return to school once they are well. Please do not send sick kids to school. Students need to be fever-free without fever-relieving medication for 24 hours before they can return to school. Please DO send your students back to school when they are well.
As a first-time Superintendent in a small school and town, this was my mistake. It was my "big city" experiences. I apologize for the confusion and thank you for your understanding. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful day! Ms. Lahera
Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30 is Back to School Night from 4-6:30pm. El Cora Mexican Food Truck will be here. Parents will meet in the gym at 4pm. Classroom visits will begin around 4:25. From 5:30-6:30, there will be a presentation for parents on our School Safety curriculum, called HERO. Parents are encouraged to come hear how we will handle a school emergency (which we hope will never happen) and how we will keep students safe.
Leggett Valley School will have a float in the parade at the Mountain Folk Festival on Saturday, September 2. If you would like your child to walk with us, please meet us at 9:30am by the firehouse. The parade is at 10am. Spirit wear is encouraged!
Do you know a student who you would like to see take a leadership role at school? Complete a nomination forms in the office by Friday.
