Our goal is to maintain high expectations and promote academic excellence for our diverse population of students. Teachers participate in ongoing professional learning communities to use student performance data to drive instruction. To support our commitment to academic excellence, all students participate in physical education, art, music, library, guidance and computer lab. Families are strongly encouraged to become involved in the school, attending events such as Open House, Math and Literacy Nights, and PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) meetings. With the support of our parents and community partners, our students are college, career, and life-ready!
LES students, I encourage you to take pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you will go, because I believe you will go far. Set new goals, dream new dreams, always put forth your best work and your best you. Be kind and respectful to everyone you meet, and most importantly, enjoy your childhood while you can. Remember—if you have a heartbeat, you have a purpose.
