Dyslexia Tidbit
What is Orton-Gillingham Approach?
"The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling does not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia. It is most properly understood and practiced as an approach, not a method, program, or system. In the hands of a well-trained and experienced instructor, it is a powerful tool of exceptional breadth, depth, and flexibility.
The essential curricular content and instructional practices that characterize the Orton-Gillingham Approach are derived from two sources: first from a body of time-tested knowledge and practice that has been validated over the past 80 years, and second from scientific evidence about how individuals learn to read and write; why a significant number have difficulty in doing so; how having dyslexia makes achieving literacy skills more difficult; and which instructional practices are best suited for teaching such individuals to read and write."

A Note from the Front Office
Registration Packets are available to be picked up. The front office requests that this paperwork be returned by Wednesday, July 31. If you are not able to pick up your child's packet this week, please be prepared to fill out these forms during Meet the Teacher on Monday, August 5.
School Supplies
If you have a currently-enrolled child at LABCS and are struggling with being able to purchase items on the Student Supply lists, we received a generous donation of school supplies to the school. Please feel free to swing by and pick up some of the items on the list at the school. We will be here from 9-3 on Monday and 8-3:30 the rest of the week. There is filler paper, marble composition notebooks, markers, crayons, and colored pencils along with some other items.
Dragon's Uniform Closet
For any LABCS families that needs dress-code-approved clothes for their currently-enrolled LABCS child, please feel free to swing by to pick what you need for the school week. Everything is free.
Student and Parent Handbook
These are given with the Registration Packet. Please read through the handbook with your child and pull off the last sheet, sign, and return back to the school as soon as possible either with the Registration Packet or soon after the school year begins.
Technology Handbook
This will be available at Meet the Teacher. If you are not able to make it to Meet the Teacher, this will be sent home the first day of school.
Meet the Teacher
Meet the Teacher will be held on Monday, August 5. Please look for the times and corresponding grades below:
- 12:00-1:30 - Grades 1-5

Summer Reading Project
These are due the first day of school for returning students in rising grades 6-8. Information was sent home at the end of this past school year, in previous newsletters, and on the school's website and social media. Students can bring their projects to Meet the Teacher. These will count as a major grade for their ELA class. If you have any questions about it, please email the school at [email protected].
We look forward to an amazing school year and feel privileged to be able to be a part of your child's academic journey!!
