LCES Families,
At Loup City Elementary, we believe that every student deserves to feel safe, supported, connected, and ready to learn. As we continue our yearly theme, “Find Your Joy,” we are encouraging our students to discover the people, activities, relationships, and experiences that make school a joyful place to be. At the same time, our district mission, “Empowering Continual Success,” reminds us that success is built through consistent expectations, responsible choices, and a strong partnership between school and home. Our Elementary Weekly Notice this week is straight from our Behavioral Intervention Support Team (BIST), offering free coursework to help parents/guardians become more familiarized with our behavioral systems and generate common language for children between school and home environments.
As part of ongoing support for families, your child’s school is offering a series of classes for parents and guardians through a partnership with the Behavior Intervention Support Team (BIST). These training sessions are designed to provide ways you can support your child’s developing academic and behavior skills, as well as increase consistency between home and school.
