LS Parent-Teacher Conferences (Noon Dismissal for K-5 Students)
The first formal opportunity for conferences will be on October 1st and 2nd. Students will be dismissed at noon on Thursday (10/1) and will not have school on Friday (10/2). Given the nature of our partnership in supporting young children, we prefer that all LS conferences occur in-person. All conferences should happen in these two days that have been set aside; please refrain from requesting that your child's teacher meet with you at another time. Once again, we will utilize the Pick-a-Time online scheduler. Be on the lookout for a push page with instructions on how to reserve your conference slot. -

C2 Dumpling Day
Dumpling Day is a celebratory event that culminates our first social studies unit: community. Our students are learning how diverse cultures influence the makeup of our community- essential people and places including restaurants, places of worship, museums, hospitals, entertainment venues, grocery stores, etc. Dumplings, or a variation of dumplings, are enjoyed across many cultures, and we’ve created Dumpling Day to explore the beauty of cultural diversity, to appreciate our differences, and to realize just how much we all have in common.
This special day invites Class Two families to provide a dumpling dish they feel represents their family’s culture. Examples include: ravioli (Italy), gyoza (Japan), pierogi (Central & Eastern Europe), tamale (Mexico), kroppkaka (Sweden), kreplach (Israel), empanada (South America), luqaimat (Middle East), apple dumpling (America), and samosa (South & Central Asia).
Dumpling Day is a student-only event that will take place in our classroom from 2:00-3:00 p.m. Should you choose to prepare or purchase a dish, please bring a large enough sampling to share with at least 16 friends and a card saying what it is, country of origin, and when it’s enjoyed in your family/culture. Please also note if nuts (or other common allergens) are included in your dish. Please do not send something that needs to be refrigerated or reheated. All food drop-offs should be delivered to the classroom before 1:45 p.m. -
