LTES Family Science Night

Family Science Night was Amazing! 

We had a hugely successful Family Science Night, on Thursday, January 18, right before the snow arrived!  Lots of families came for pizza, snacks, and tons of science stations!  Students made hot chocolate solutions, counted and graphed seeds, programmed Ozobots, gave coding instructions using Legos, constructed circuits, built rain gauges, collaborated on a trout mural, designed pollinator models, and drove a robot created by the Westfield Robotics Team!   

Did you miss it?  Check out the snapshots in our Family Science Night feature on the LTES website

Family Coffee | January 24 @ 8:30 a.m.

Family Coffee Flyer

Join us for our monthly Family Coffee on Wednesday, January 24th from 8:30-9:30 a.m. 

Technology is a huge part of our everyday lives.  Our students use devices daily in school as a communication and creation tool and outside of school for fun, connection, and relaxation.  As a school-family partnership, it’s our shared responsibility to support our young Lions as they grow up in an increasingly digital world.  Teaching technology habits now will help our students make smart and safe decisions as they grow.

Curious to find out…

  • How we support digital citizens in school?
  • How to set limits for a healthy media balance at home?
  • How to set parental controls on your children’s devices?
  • How to check out and chat with your child about the games and apps they are using?

Come to the first Family Coffee of 2024 on Wednesday, January 24, at 8:30 a.m. in the London Towne SACC Room to learn about these digital citizenship topics from our Technology Specialist, Rachel Lanier. 

Bring your questions and leave with ready-to-use resources!
