The Mission of Cleveland Elementary School is to create a student-centered learning atmosphere that will reflect a caring school community, set positive and high expectations, and provide opportunities for meaningful participation for student success.

LPS Guiding Principles
Through the Eyes of Our Children
1. We are learning to be career-bound citizens.
2. We celebrate our differences at school and in the
community.
3. We work together and share ideas.
4. We are learning to be healthy and fit while we learn, do, and teach.
Please help your child or children to learn these four principles. They may be asked to state one of them at random by anyone in Lawton Public Schools.

Teamwork + Hard Work = Success
Interim Tests # 2 for Grades 1 - 5
Attention Parents and Guardians!
Attention Parents and Guardians!
Testing Time is here! From December 3 – 13 grades 1 - 5, will be taking Interim Benchmark Tests… For your child to be successful, they must be in their best state of mind. There are some things we can do to insure they are ready:
Your child must be at school each day by 9:00 a.m. We will begin testing each day at 9:30 a.m.
Please do not schedule doctor or dentist appointments, or other activities during these testing periods
It is very important that he/she gets a good night sleep.
He/she should eat breakfast for each morning for energy. They can eat at home or school.
Encourage your child by being positive. “Do your best.” A student’s attitude is the biggest factor in their success.
Remind him/her to read the directions and answers thoroughly before and during the test.
Tell him/her to pace themselves during the test and double check their answers.
Thank you in advance for your support. These tests are very important to your child and our school. These results are used to provide information about your child academically. . If there is an emergency which may cause your child to be absent, please contact the school’s office as soon as possible.
