Good morning, Lake Park Families.

1. DCSS schools are closed for Winter Break. Today is a remote learning day for students. Your student's assignment went home in their red folder. Please ensure that your student completes the assignments and returns their homework on Monday, February 23rd.

Second graders should know basic addition and subtraction facts automatically. Third graders should know basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts automatically. Fourth and fifth-graders should know basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts automatically. Automaticity means they know they can give the correct answer immediately without support.
