We have almost made it to Winter Break! By now, most of the students have completed their iReady MOY (Middle of the Year) Diagnostic in both Reading and Math. Kindergarten through 2nd Grade will complete their Math on Monday and Tuesday (December 13th and 14th) of next week. It has been so exciting to see how much our students have grown in this first half of the year. The results from these diagnostic tests will be used to plan for and gauge how we will meet the needs of our students in the second half of the school year.
Thank you for your continued support. As always, you can contact me any time with any questions or concerns, alison.roscoe@ocps.net. |

Hello! My name is Katie Higginbotham and I am a third grade teacher here at Lawton Chiles. I am ESOL and reading endorsed, and ESE certified. I am also certified to teach Pre-K as well as 6-9th grades. I have taught every grade in elementary school, with the exception of first. I love helping students become lifelong learners and readers, and especially enjoy teaching grades 3-5. This is my 16th year teaching elementary school. I spent most of my career at Killarney Elementary in OCPS; then I began working at Lawton Chiles 5 years ago to be closer to home. I have loved getting to know the staff and families here at Lawton Chiles over the last few years here!
I graduated from UCF with both a Bachelors in Elementary Education. I have been married for 6 years to my husband Bill, and we have 2 kids. My oldest, Max, is in VPK here at LCE, and my little one, Ellie is almost 9 months old. I love traveling to new places, going to concerts, and spending time with my family. We are also season ticket holders to UCF football, and love to cheer on the Knights!

The LCE Behavior Buzz
During the month of December, our PBIS focus is “Be Responsible”. Our students will practice ways they can “Be Responsible” around campus and bring those practices home and into our community!
Our official PBIS classroom biweekly drawing was another success! Congratulations to Ms. Cruz’s class and Ms. Higginbotham’s class. They were rewarded with a classroom ice cream party and recognized with a PBIS classroom banner! Congratulations!!
Our next drawing will be held in two weeks and students are working so hard to earn their Lawton Loot and a chance for an ice cream party! Keep up the hard work!
Parents: If you capture your child using these skills at home, send in your drawings or photos! We would love to showcase them here!
December PBIS Pro Tip: “Be Responsible” – take care of your personal items, follow classroom rules and expectations and keep your area clean in the cafeteria.

Lawton Chiles continues its efforts to promote community and parental engagement. One way is through our district’s new initiative called Engage 360: Learn Where You Live. It offers families smaller interactive workshops throughout the district; some in specific learning communities. District staff and community-based organizations provide workshops designed to empower families to support student success. This initiative provides families with tools and techniques to focus on the entire child: academic, social emotional behavior and more. Below are upcoming dates: |
