LS Weekly Updates

September 6, 2024

Dear parents,

What a wonderful start to school. Thank you so much for your support over the past few days.

Every Friday I will put Lower School specific updates into this section in the ASM Lancer. In addition, you will receive weekly communication from your homerooms.

As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Enjoy the weekend.

Warmly,

Ms. Jen

What's Coming Up?

Please be sure to check our September Lower School Events Calendar.

Parent Meet Ups Continue!

We will continue our Lower School Meet Ups by grade-level next week. At these meetings our school counselors will introduce themselves and talk about their role in support you and your children this year. Most importantly, this meeting is a great time for grade-level parents to meet each other and connect.

Grade 3: Friday, September 6

Grade 2: Monday, September 9

Grade 1: Tuesday, September 10

ALL Early Childhood Families: Wednesday, September 11

We will meet on the Middle School stairs at 3:00 and be finished in time for student pick-up at 3:45.

Math League

Math League continues in 2024-25 for all students in grades 1-5. After our pilot launch of this program in March last year, we learned a great deal about how best to run a competitive math league. One thing which will be a change from this year is that Math League will become an ASA offered for different grade groups on multiple days. This ensures all students involved are available for the whole hour. (Our early morning start last year meant that students sometimes came into the session late from a bus or drop off. Nobody needs that kind of stress in the morning!)

Parents can sign their children up for Math League through the normal ASA process - coming out soon!

Room Parents Wanted! Consider signing up!

All homerooms in the Lower School are supported by a Room Parent. We are looking for a mix of returning parents and new parents to help us this year.

If you are interested in being a room parent for your child's classroom:

Please review the Lower School Room Parent Guide.
Sign up using this form: Room Parent Sign-Up 2024-25 .

Sign-ups close Friday, September 13.

Room Parent Kick-Off Meeting, September 19, 9:00-10:00 AM
