Happy summer, Longhorn family! We are busy preparing for the first day of school on Aug. 13. I want to share some important dates with you in advance of that day.

If you are new to our community and your children have not previously attended Laureate Park Elementary, you will need to register them at the school any time before the first day of school. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (closed Friday).

For our new kindergarten students, there is a kindergarten orientation on Aug. 2 from 9-11 a.m. The kindergarten team will share information about the upcoming school year and will be available to answer any questions you have.

For all our students returning for the 2018-19 school year, “meet the teacher” is Thursday, Aug. 9, from 4-6 p.m. Please bring your school supplies and meet your new teacher (information on the identity of your new teacher will be posted that night.)

Our PTA and staff have been busy planning lots of exciting things for this upcoming school year, and we are looking forward to seeing our Longhorn families soon.
