IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS: MEDICATION PICK UP
Thank you for providing medication to meet the health care needs of your child while at school. It’s time to start planning for medication pick up! This includes any extra daily medication, over the counter medication, and all emergency medication. All medication must be picked up from the health room by a parent/guardian by the end of the school year, 05/26/2023, by 12:00 PM.
May 22-26, while attending end of the year celebrations, awards ceremonies, and early dismissal days 5/25, 5/26, are ideal times to accomplish this important end of the year step.
For safety reasons, I do not send medication home with students. Any medication left at school will be disposed of promptly, as medication may not be stored over the summer.
***** Please contact me if you need to make other arrangements. 803-438-8000 *****

Playground GuidelinesA Message from Dr. Lloyd:As you know, our school's playgrounds and newly established walking trail are open for community use, but there are guidelines. Please find attached a copy of the board policy so that we can keep our grounds safe, clean, and accessible for all of its users. The main thing we are having issues with right now are users bringing their pets onto the playgrounds. Please note that this is not allowed. We hope that you enjoy having access to these areas!

Is your child getting the recommended hours of sleep?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ……
How many hours of sleep are enough?
According to sleep expert Dr. Timothy Morgenthaler, M.D. of Mayo Sleep Clinic, children 3-5 years should have 10-13 hours of quality sleep per 24 hours, and children 6-12 years, 9-12 hours per 24 hours. Depending on your child’s morning wake up schedule, a practical bedtime for most elementary age school children is about 8 p.m.
“For kids, getting the recommended amount of sleep on a regular basis is linked with better health, including improved attention, behavior, learning, memory, the ability to control emotions, quality of life, and mental and physical health.”
Eric J. Olson, M.D. Mayo Clinic
As always, a nutritious and healthy diet, plenty of water and low-sugar beverages for hydration, frequent hand washing to help prevent illness, and the recommended hours of sleep will help your child be their very best for a great school day at LES, where everyday COUNTS!
