“Finding the Groove”
Principal’s Message to Parents & Guardians
November 26th, 2025
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Your partnership, encouragement, and trust help our students—and our entire staff—find their groove each day. With your support, we continue empowering continual success in every classroom, hallway, and shared
This year’s theme, Finding the Groove, has been evident in the joyful hum of classrooms, the growing confidence of our students, and the collaborative spirit we see among families. Much like a song that becomes richer when everyone plays their part, our school’s rhythm grows stronger because of you. Your presence at events, your communication with teachers, and your daily encouragement at home help our students stay in step as they build the academic and social-emotional skills that carry them forward.
Our district’s mission of Empowering Continual Success reminds us that learning is not a moment—it’s a journey. We are grateful for the ways you help your children embrace this journey. Whether it’s practicing reading at night, celebrating small achievements, or helping them persevere through challenges, your involvement creates strong foundations for growth. Together, we’re helping each child discover their unique tempo and stride toward success with confidence.
With Thanksgiving approaching, please know how deeply we appreciate the generosity, empathy, and unity that define our community. From volunteering your time to uplifting our teachers to supporting one another in big and small ways, you exemplify what it means to move forward as a family. Our school continues to thrive because our families show up—with open hearts and unwavering dedication.
Thank you for your continued involvement and support. Together, we are making Loup City Elementary a place where students thrive, grow, and succeed every day! If you ever need to contact me, don’t hesitate to do so at paul.barker@lcpublic.org or through the main office at 308-745-0603
Warm regards,
Mr. Paul Barker, M.Ed
