Hog-Eye Highlights for 2009-2010 School Year

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK—November 15-21

 

Livingston Academy is participating in the celebration of American Education Week November 15—21. The schedule for the week is as follows: 

Tuesday—Parents’ Day

Wednesday—Education Support Professionals Day

Thursday—Educator for the Day

Friday—Substitute Educators Day

The faculty and staff would like to invite all parents of LA students to stop by and visit on Parent’s Day, Tuesday, November 17. This would be a great way for parents to have a firsthand look at their students, staff, and teachers in action. Parents will be able to visit classes as well as other areas of the building. For those parents who cannot attend during the day, there will be a mock schedule from 7:00pm to 9:00 pm that night. Teachers will be here from the core classes; social studies, math, English, science, and foreign language to discuss standards and content. A spaghetti supper will be served as well. Make it a point to come by and see us!
