Dear Lewis Community,

It is hard to believe that we are heading into the last week of school. Despite the many challenges this year, together we made it through and your children showed us their best effort and willingness to just keep on learning. Whether online or in person, it has been great to see everyone's smiling face daily!  For many of us, it feels like the year is ending too soon. Yet, our bodies are tired and ready for summer, and the new school year is right around the corner. At the moment, the only information I have from the district is that we will return to school in person, five days a week. How that will actually look, and what health precautions will need to be in place, we will learn in the future. I know I have thanked you many times for your patience and support in the past year, and once again I am asking that of you as we wait for more information from the state and the school district. Please look for updates throughout the summer as I learn more details.

We are, however, preparing for the in-person school year. Every classroom, grades 1-5, will be hosting a "MOVE UP DAY" on June 9th at 1:30-2:00pm. You will receive an email the day prior, June 8th, from your 2021-22 classroom teacher with the google meeting code. "Move up day" is an opportunity for your child to meet their teacher for next year, see who else is in the classroom, and learn a little bit about what the new grade level will include. This event will be in addition to the current Wednesday morning meeting with your current teacher.

There are many events that have been buzzing around the school this past week, from the book fair, to field days, to special classroom activities. Next week, on Thursday evening, we promote our fifth grade students, and send them off to middle school with cheer! For many of you it is hard to believe that your six years in elementary school are over. However, really it is just the beginning of your child's educational experience. Enjoy the adventure, as it flies by quickly!

Stay cool! Happy last week of the 2020-21 school year!

Thanks!

Deanne
