Reminders...

Parents/Guardians, please know that

we work very hard to share all

important information with you and to

keep the lines of communication open at

all times. Therefore we ask for your help

by letting us know if there is ever any

change in your contact information.

This includes, but is not limited to,

email address, phone number, and

mailing address. In addition, if you ever

need to add or remove any Emergency

Contact on your child’s record please

contact the main office at

803-945-7721.

CONTACT INFORMATION

Morning Drop Off

Please remember that students are allowed to enter the building at 7:15am. Our

priority is student safety while unloading all vehicles. For the

safety of all students please :

Do not pass any vehicles

Stay off your cell phone

Be patient and kind

Afternoon Pick Up

Please remember to have your child’s school issued car tag when picking up in the

afternoon. By properly displaying this tag, it ensures that students are safe and

the car rider line will move smoothly. If we have to stop and ask for your number

or type the student’s name, it slows down this process. The school issued tags are

also a security measure we have put into place at our school. If you are in need of

a new car tag, please contact the school office. There will be a fee of $5.00 for a set

of 2 tags.

Leader In Me News...

March Newsletter

Readers are Leaders! By: John and Jane Covey

Every year we join in this month long celebration designed to encourage reading as a

fun activity for the whole family. Reading, and understanding what you read, is a skill that everyone needs to be successful. The best way to improve understanding is to read a lot. There is nothing like a challenging book to lift you up or take you to

another world. Developing a love of reading will be an asset to your child in all areas of school and give him/her a jumpstart to a lifetime of reading! Below is a list of books that your child will enjoy while also reinforcing the 7 Habits at home. Addi-

tional suggestions can be found at The Leader in Me Online.

Lower elementary (PK-3) Read the book together. Ask your child questions about how the characters used the habits.

Upper elementary (4-5) Your child reads the book to you. Ask questions about how your child uses the habit.

Habits 1-7

Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall

Clifford’s Spring Clean-Up by Norman Bridwell

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw Owl Moon by Jane Yolen

Henry Hikes to Fitchburg by D. B. John-son

For the month of February, Little Mountain Elementary,

carefully selected students for Habit # 4 – Think Win Win.

Throughout the month, the faculty, staff, and students

stayed committed to their goals and worked hard daily to

achieve established milestones and selected goals. For the

students of LME, their belief is that everyone can win

inside and outside of the classroom. We have a balance of

courage for getting what the individual student wants

while considering what other students may want as well.

We encourage students to make deposits into their peers’

emotional bank accounts every day. By thinking of others,

problem solving, and remembering to negotiate with

classmates, students display a true bucket filling attitude.

We are very proud to recognize these students as

Pawmetto’s Finest at Little Mountain Elementary.
