Neighbors - Pacers need your help
We are reaching out to our Pacer families in hopes that you can share our plea with HOAs and other neighbors who may not have students in the school. We love that our grounds and facility are a community hub for walkers, runners, tennis and field sport players and we welcome their use of our parking lots, fields, courts, and track. We would like everyone's help in keeping the use of the facilities to after school (when school athletics are over) and on weekends for our community neighbors. During the school day, Monday through Friday, our students and their parents needs to have free access to our assigned and visitor parking and our teachers must have free access to the track and fields for classes. We also would ask that you are mindful of cleaning up your trash and most especially cleaning up after your animals on our turfs and fields. While we do have trash receptacles around the campus, they are there for the weekend sports use only. With limited facilities personnel taking care of our school both inside and out, the trash cans are only emptied on Monday mornings. If you can take your trash with you and not leave it for our staff to dispose of that would be so appreciated. Thank you in advance for getting the word out to our neighbors and community members and for partnering with us to keep our amazing Lakeridge campus clean and ready for our students to use. And as always Go Pacers!!

Parent Volunteer Opportunity
The Concessions Group is looking for volunteers! We have a variety of current positions we are trying to fill, and are also recruiting to find our replacements, as most of us will be moving on after this year. We'd love to have people join us this year that are willing to train and then take over next year. We are looking to expand our purchasing group, find a person to be in charge of managing the tills, find someone to train to replace our current lottery and training person, and a concessions lead responsible for oversight of the general operations. Workload is heavier in the fall but is an all year commitment. We're a fun, supportive group that shares responsibility and works together to make concessions successful. Concessions generates thousands of fundraising dollars for Lakeridge groups and teams. If you are interested in joining us, we need a variety of skills to fill our vacancies, and have the perfect position for you! For more information please email pacerconcessions@gmail.com.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month
What is Oregon’s State of Mind on Dyslexia?
Oregon developed its first legislative guidelines for dyslexia in 2015 with the passing of Senate Bill 612 followed by 1003 in 2017. By law each school is required to complete a universal screening on all kindergarten and first grade students to identify those who are at risk for dyslexia. This law also mandates that each K-5 school have an extensively-trained educator who is able to recognize the warning signs of dyslexia and support students, teachers, parents, and the community. LOSD currently uses Dibels as our dyslexia screening tool. We have also selected LETRS Literacy training to support our educators in meeting the expectations of Senate Bill 612. If you have more questions please reach out to your school’s literacy specialist.
There also are three major federal laws that directly affect children with dyslexia. They are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Oregon Department of Education Dyslexia Resources: Oregon Department of Education : Dyslexia : Regional Programs and Best Practices : State of Oregon
Gifted and Dyslexic?
Some kids with learning and attention difficulties have exceptional skills in certain areas. These kids are often called “twice-exceptional” (2E) learners.
LOSD Student Services and TAG (Talented & Gifted) Services are both responsible and should work in cooperation to meet the needs of twice-exceptional students. The student’s abilities will determine appropriate instruction.
To read about twice exceptional students, visit UNDERSTOOD.ORG:
Twice-Exceptional Students | 2E Learners | Gifted and Learning Disabilities
Each week this month, we featured a message about dyslexia in this newsletter. If you have questions or concerns regarding our child’s learning, please call the school principal, TAG coordinator, and/or literacy specialist. You can also contact your school’s representatives for TAG-AC (TAG Advisory Committee) or SSPAC (Student Services Parent Advisory Committee). Please see here to learn how to contact your school representative.
We are here to help you and your child succeed.
Equity Work Review Opportunity
We have engaged the Western Educational Equity Assistance Center (WEEAC) from Metropolitan State University of Denver for a review of our practices, policies, and protocols in relation to instruction and educational equity. Monday, November 15th through Thursday, November 18th the WEEAC staff will be conducting virtual interviews and surveys with administrators, staff, teachers, students, and parents. This will help guide our continued development of a systemic approach to issues of equity.
Anonymity – It is important for you to note that the data collected by the WEEAC Team will be aggregated as a group and individual answers will not be noted nor disclosed. Your name will not appear in any reports.
FOCUS GROUPS:
Parent Focus Group – If you are interested in participating in a focus group, please fill this form:
Each interview will take 45 – 60 minutes with a WEEAC interviewer. Teacher Focus Group interview will be scheduled after school hours.
Again, this information collected by the WEEAC Team is anonymous. Questions on the process can be directed to Colleen Toomey, Principal Analyst, WEEAC, at ctoomey1@msudenver.edu.
