Hello Eagles! As another week comes to a close, there are a number of important reminders and updates to share with you. First, thank you for your continued support of all the hard work that goes on every day here at LRE! As we move into second semester, please take a minute to review our arrival and departure procedures for the loop in front of the school. Arrival-Departure Procedures These procedures are for everyone’s safety. It is also important that when you visit the campus that you are not parking in the fire lane in front of the building or the gravel area by the trailers which is also a fire lane. If you are parking in the neighborhood, please be sure you are not blocking intersections or driveways. When you are on campus, for the privacy of our students and staff, please do not photograph or video anyone with the exception of your own child(ren). Finally, we are asking for your help in having your students not bring toys especially Pokemon cards to school. These types of items are starting to cause a number of issues in classrooms and cafeteria.

Please see the following announcement about inclement weather make-up days:
Following feedback from its stakeholders, the DeKalb County School District (DCSD) will employ Virtual Learning Days using its Digital Dreamers technology to make up time lost in January to inclement weather. More than 21,075 students, teachers, staff and stakeholders participated in an inclement weather survey that outlined options for making up two days of instruction. Of the respondents, approximately 63 percent selected virtual learning as the preferred option.
With virtual learning, teachers will provide students with a virtual assignment that is content-specific and relevant. Virtual learning access will be made available to students over two weeks – Feb. 27 through March 6; and March 8 through March 15. Students will have five school days plus a weekend to complete their assignments.
Assignments may involve reading, writing, conducting research, performing mini labs, completing practice problems, taking notes, and/or answering questions. Students will be given one week to complete and submit the virtual assignment. Parents will receive assignments from their child’s teacher the week of February 20.
This approach will allow the district to make up two lost inclement weather days. Students will make up the other two days with schools open on Feb. 16 and March 9.
