Virtual Learning Reminders:

LEXIA IS AWESOME! HAVE YOU TRIED IT WITH YOUR STUDENT?

Did you know that in grades K-5, LFNO uses Lexia not just to boost foundational and advanced reading skills, but also to guide literacy instruction?

As students complete units, teachers can use the targeted skill builder lessons to intersect with any skills that were not completely mastered in the lessons. It is important that students are practicing regularly and meeting the recommended usage minutes in order to get the most out of this research-proven, and nationally recognized literacy program.

Lexia is proven to close the literacy gap when used with commitment and fidelity! If you are having trouble setting up or logging into your account, please contact your ELA teacher for login help if needed.

EXTENDED DAY PROGRAMS

Fall 2021 Athletics Update:

Cross Country continued through virtual school last week, with Johnson and McNair practicing at Audubon Park! As McNair returns to in-person and Johnson remains virtual for the immediate future, we will continue holding practice at Audubon Park. Please email mdupuy@lfno.org if you’d like us to reach out to other families to try to organize a carpool for you.

Over the summer, we determined that we would be joining the Crescent City Charter League for flag football and volleyball. CCCL is running a vaccinated league for all sports. We received communication late last week that their season will be pushed back to February. Please find that communication [attached- please see pdf attached to email]

We will be offering an abbreviated swim season beginning this Wednesday 9/29, with practices at the Terrytown Country Club. For information on middle school swimming, click here. Registration requires two forms, please find the necessary information in the description here:
