Dear Parents and Guardians:
The 2025-2026 school year is just around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited for the return of our students! We hope that all of our students and families have had an incredible summer filled with fun, friendship and family! Now that summer break is coming to a close, we are awaiting with enthusiasm, energy and excitement for our students' return!
We would like to extend an invitation to our students and families to join us for our Back-To-School Open House! The event has been set for July 31, 2025 from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Parents and students will have the opportunity to meet our teachers, visit our classrooms and drop off school supplies. We look forward to seeing our students and families at this annual parental involvement opportunity!
We are excited about the great things that await our school family in 2025 - 2026! We had an incredible year last year, and we are confident that this year will be another remarkable year at The Nest! We are looking forward to the energy, excitement and engagement that fills our classrooms daily, and we look forward to seeing our students and staff working hard TOGETHER to ensure another year of successful academic endeavors! TOGETHER, I am confident that the 2025-2026 school year will hold an immeasurable abundance of blessings and success for our school family!
As we continue to move forward into the 2025-2026 school year, I'd like to challenge each of you to commit to reading to your child for at least 30 minutes each day. Research has shown that "reading just 20 minutes a day exposes a child to a vast quantity of words (1.8 million in each school year, actually!). As a result, this exposure makes children more likely to score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests, compared to children who read just 5 minutes per day — and are therefore more likely to score in the 50th percentile — it’s easy to see how reading time translates to academic success. Meanwhile, a separate study involving almost 10 million students showed "only those reading at least 15 minutes a day achieved accelerated reading gains, and those reading less were at risk of falling behind their peers." Thank you for committing to help us building STRONGER READERS at LES!
Again, I'd like to thank you for the help and support you have given throughout the years to LES! I genuinely love and appreciate each of you and what you do to help our staff, students and Lake Elementary School! As always, I am honored to serve each of you and your families, our school and our community, and I'm BEYOND BLESSED to be a small part of such a wonderful school family! If I can do anything to help you, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thanks so much,
Mrs. Seale :)
