We ask all families to proceed with caution, follow signage, and remain patient so we can work together to ensure the safety of all students and community members.

Fluency means more than just getting the right answer—it is the ability to work with numbers flexibly, efficiently, and with confidence. Students are exploring different approaches such as breaking numbers apart, using known facts, and applying mental math strategies to solve problems in ways that make sense to them. By developing these skills, students deepen their understanding of numbers and become more confident, adaptable mathematicians. Below are some of the strategies your child is learning at school—ask them which strategy they are currently working on!</span></p></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/9a92d8c4-ffa7-421e-83ce-9814be9976d3?fingerprint=ppb20260325143639" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103029" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/8456c498-94d5-4f44-8275-b8af9a4a367a?fingerprint=ppb20260325143640" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103117 Copy" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/c8312584-38aa-4d36-a395-5dba2ced7239?fingerprint=ppb20260325143641" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103128" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/d8784e5e-78c2-497c-871e-ec67c8d7950a?fingerprint=ppb20260325143643" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103141" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr"><br></h2></p><hr><p class="editor-paragraph"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></p><hr><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Hot Lunch Schedule</span></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mondays</span></p></th><td class="editor-tableCell" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start;"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Pita Pit</span></p></td></tr><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Tuesdays</span></p></th><td class="editor-tableCell" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start;"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Gino's Subs</span></p></td></tr><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Wednesdays</span></p></th><td class="editor-tableCell" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start;"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Gino's Pizza</span></p></td></tr><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Thursdays</span></p></th><td class="editor-tableCell" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start;"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Gino's Pasta</span></p></td></tr><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Fridays</span></p></th><td class="editor-tableCell" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start;"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr" style="text-align: start;"><br></p><hr><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking for Information Regarding LESAA Sporting Events?

Fluency means more than just getting the right answer—it is the ability to work with numbers flexibly, efficiently, and with confidence. Students are exploring different approaches such as breaking numbers apart, using known facts, and applying mental math strategies to solve problems in ways that make sense to them. By developing these skills, students deepen their understanding of numbers and become more confident, adaptable mathematicians.

This time of </span><a href="about:blank" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">year</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> brings many opportunities for learning both inside and outside of the classroom, along with the return of outdoor extracurricular activities.

Fluency means more than just getting the right answer—it is the ability to work with numbers flexibly, efficiently, and with confidence. Students are exploring different approaches such as breaking numbers apart, using known facts, and applying mental math strategies to solve problems in ways that make sense to them. By developing these skills, students deepen their understanding of numbers and become more confident, adaptable mathematicians.
