LAES Hot Topics for 10/19

Progress Conferences are this Friday - during your conference, families will be asked to fill out a survey: THANK YOU for taking the time to provide your views about your child's school! The information from your response to this survey will be very helpful to school and district leaders in working to improve the learning experience for all our students. The survey is anonymous. No one will know your identity, not even the University of Colorado Denver researchers administering the survey. If you have children in more than one school, you can take the survey for each school if you wish to do so. We estimate the survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete on average.

The Las Animas D-HAC (District Health Advisory Council ) will be offering FREE haircuts for Jr. High Students at Otero College on November 29th. If you want your student to participate in this, please sign them up and fill out the permission form with their advisory teacher at Progress Conferences this Friday.

Pure Gold Members (or any JH/HS Student) : if you would like to help decorate for Red Ribbon Week - please pick up a flyer from Ms. Waring
at lunch today to take home to your parents. We will decorate at the high school on Sunday from 3 to 5 pm.
