Dear Falls-Lenox Families,
Excitement has been high this week, and we have had a great first few days of school! It has been such a joy seeing all of our students' smiling faces! This week, students have been busy getting to know each other and learning routines and procedures throughout the building.
Next week, students will participate in Student Engagement Assemblies where they will learn about our PBIS building-wide expectations (Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Kind), and the various student club opportunities available at Falls-Lenox. Students will also participate in Bus Safety Assemblies.
We serve breakfast and lunch daily. If you would like to place money on your child's account, please visit www.ofcs.net and click on, "Pay Schools Central". If at any time you have questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact our main office at (440) 427-6400. We are looking forward to a great school year!
Thank you to all of our families for all of your support and for a great week!
Sincerely,
Ms. Lisa M. Williams

Beginning of the Year Book:
One of our goals at FL, is to provide students with opportunities to explore and investigate areas of their interest. We believe that learning often begins with questions, and that allowing students to research their questions, empowers them in their learning! Check out our beginning of the year book below. All classes will be reading this story and recording things they "wonder"! You may ask your child at home, what is something they wonder about and want to learn more about?
Scholastic Bookfair - See the link in the letter below to place an order! All proceeds go back to our FL library!
