Longfellow Elementary School

Families of Longfellow Elementary-

It’s hard to believe that we are only a month away from spring break. The year is flying by. Today, we are celebrating Valentine’s Day with the Salida Circus. Some of our own students are performing as part of the assembly. Clowns, unicycles, jugglers, stilts, and aerial performers all bring delight to our students on this day where we celebrate our friendships here at Longfellow. The Salida Circus has performers of all ages. A huge thank you goes out to the circus performers, the students and the staff as they’ve worked to make this Valentines a memorable one.

As the weather has changed to cold and the snow has started falling again, work to make sure that your little mountain lion is dressed for the weather. At times, it’s dry and cold, and a coat, hat, and gloves will suffice. When there’s snow on the ground, snow pants and boots are a great addition (because they really do love playing in the snow)!

Finally, don’t forget to check the lost and found. Yesterday, I chatted with a parent who was searching for a pair of black gloves. She and I were both amazed at how much our lost and found grows throughout the year. If your child has lost something, there is a good chance it’s in the lost and found. Come to the office at the end of the day and we’ll let you in so you can find that lost scarf, or lunch box, or lone shoe (yes…that does happen)!

Thank you for your support throughout the school year!

Sidenotes:

-Spring conferences will be next Tuesday, February 18th. Your student’s teacher will reach out if they think a conference would be beneficial. If you would like to set up a conference, please let your teacher know. Otherwise, you are not required to attend conference night. 

-If using the circle drive to drop off your child, pull all the way up, and stay in your vehicle. Have your kid(s) exit through the passenger door, so they don’t have to cross in front of other drivers.  Once they’re safely on the sidewalk, slowly exit to the stop sign. If you’d like to walk your child to the building, park in one of the parking lots or along the street.
