Happy August Lopez families!
I am excited to be back to school and writing this from my office. As you may know, Lopez has been closed for construction since the day after school was released. We just started to move back in early this week!!! I think you will be impressed with the changes. Thank you PSD community for supporting our school improvements. If you haven't had a chance to check the progress over the summer, I have been posting pictures on a blog at http://drgile.blogspot.com
Lopez is a wonderful school, and I am proud to be part of it. You are all part of its' success. Last year, we made several strides toward becoming Colorado's first Lighthouse School recognized by the Leader in Me organization. Our leadership assemblies, leadership notebooks, student-led conferences, student leadership roles, philanthropy projects, and 7 Habits of Successful Families Event have been hallmarks to our school transformation as a leadership culture. Look for more information and opportunities throughout the school year.
To build on our school-wide Leader in Me focus, we are bringing in an after-school program from Lego Robotics. This will be a way to support our students who want to further develop their leadership in science, technology, engineering, teamwork, and communications.
I look forward to connecting with everyone at the Ice Cream Social on Monday, August 19 from 4:00 - 5:30 PM. Teachers will need every minute to set up their classrooms, so please wait until 4:00 to arrive. Children can bring their school supplies that afternoon. School starts the next morning at 8:25 AM. Students will line up outside of their pod or classroom doors to enter the building.
On August 12th, you will receive an email from me indicating your child's class placement for the school year. In the event that we have an incorrect email address or do not have that information on file, class lists will be posted before the ice cream social on Monday, August 19.
If any families are new to the Lopez community, they can come by the school to register anytime after August 6 between 7:30 - 4:30.
All other back to school information, such as supply lists, are posted on the main Lopez website. As always, feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.

Lopez Construction Update #5
It is amazing how things start to come together! Little by little, we have seen some big projects completed this week. We are still on track for all of our before school events and to welcome students and families back to the Ice Cream Social on Monday, August 20 from 4:00 - 5:30 PM. Christy and I both moved back to Lopez this week. She and I shared my new office for a few days, but now the new office is ready. The office is much larger and more student and family friendly. I think it will be a welcoming and secure entrance once the final pieces have come together. Thank you PSD community for the transformation that is taking shape at Lopez. I'll post pictures of the office next week when it is nearly complete!

Most of the classrooms in the blue pod have returned to normal, with just a few touches left to go!  |
