Back to School Information for Lujan-Chavez Elementary
Dear Lujan Chavez Families,
I am so excited to continue to serve as the principal at Lujan Chavez Elementary School.
We have already been hard at work to ensure that the 2021-2022 school year will be
an amazing one! We are committed to fulfilling our mission statement to:
LEAD by example to create lifelong learners.
COMMIT to maximize each student’s potential.
EMBRACE diversity and build a positive community.
SUPPORT a safe and collaborative culture.
We would like to welcome all our new families to the LCES school community. We look forward to providing the best
learning environment and experience for your child/children. Our theme for this year, Level Up! focuses on our tireless
efforts to help students make progress everyday so that they SHINE bright! At Lujan-Chavez Elementary School, we
support EVERY STAR, EVERY DAY—MAKING PROGRESS IN EVERY WAY! We cannot wait to have our students and parents
back here to help make this all a reality! The building is far too quiet without you all.
We respectfully request that families do not call the office ahead of time to inquire about class assignments, as we will
not release that information for any reason because we will be continually updating our lists until they are posted. We
greatly appreciate your cooperation so that the best decisions can be made for our students regarding classroom
placement.
Our first day of classes for kinder through fifth grades will be Monday, August 2nd. Parents or family may walk students
to their classroom on their child’s first day of school, (up to 2 guests, please).
Starting Tuesday, August 3rd, all students will be supervised beginning at 7:00 am. Please do not drop students off before
7:00 am as they will not be supervised. At 7:15 am, teachers will pick up students and walk them to class. Breakfast is
served at no cost to all students from 7:15-7:30 each day. The tardy bell rings at 7:30 a.m. Students should be escorted
inside the building if they are dropped off after 7:30 am as there will not be appropriate supervision outside when the
final bell rings.

include hands-on activities, small group intervention,
station rotations and teacher one-on-one support.

students to include athletics, fine arts, UIL, clubs, etc.

occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
