Welcome to Kindergarten at LLT Academy

First Weeks of School WORDS OF ADVICE - BE PATIENT: As your student adjusts to the expectations and changes that come with going to school and learning how to listen to others and be a friend. Their immune systems also need time to build up. They will require more sleep than normal on school days. It is okay if they aren’t perfect, they are children and they are learning each day.

Communication Between Home and School DOJO Each parent will receive access to the kindergarten DOJO. This is a great resource to reach your teachers in a text style format. Please understand that they are teaching the majority of the school day and will respond to your message at their first opportunity. EMAIL You can reach the teachers or administrators by going to the school website or emailing. . Mrs. McLaughlin - jmclaughlin@lltacademy.com Ms. Hauser - mhauser@lltacademy.com Mrs. Austin - saustin@lltacademy.com Mrs. Rutherford - jrutherford@lltacademy.com Mrs. Flores - sflores@lltacademy.com Teachers are not required to check or answer emails after hours.

Join us at the Boo Hoo Breakfast I know this first day is hard, but believe me, it's harder on us parents than it is on our kids. The more cheerfully you leave them in our care, the better -- it sends the message that you have faith in them and that you trust us to take good care of them. We're parents, too, so we know what a gift that trust is, and we cherish it! The best gift you can give your child on the first day of school is your confidence and your smiles. Join us in the cafeteria for a light breakfast and coffee. This is the beginning of great friendships with other families.
