Changes at Lester Prairie Schools:
Lester Prairie Schools are kicking off the 2018-2019 school year with a great start! There are some new changes happening within the building, one including the elementary side of the building growing by one grade level this year.
The 6th grade class has officially made the transition out of the high school side of the building and moved into the elementary hallway.
With 41 students this year, Lester Prairie now has two 6th grade homeroom classes.
Jay Rogotzke and Anna Willems are departmentalizing subjects throughout the day in order to support all 6th grade students in their academics. This also ensures that students are able to make efficient transitions from class to class. With this schedule, students are provided transitions between the two 6th grade rooms twice a day, as well as going to band and/or each day with the rest of the Junior High students.
Now that students are a part of the elementary, the 6th grade teachers are also able to add more time for core subjects such as reading and math.
