Loup City Elementary School
“Finding the Groove”
Principal’s Message to Parents & Guardians
March 11th, 2026
LCES Families,
Tomorrow we are excited to welcome families into the school for Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conferences are an important opportunity for us to connect with you in a formalized setting to discuss your child’s growth, celebrate progress, and identify ways we can continue supporting their learning journey together.
Throughout the school year, our theme of “Finding the Groove” reminds us that every student learns and grows at their own pace. Parent-Teacher Conferences help us align our efforts so that students can continue building confidence and momentum in the classroom. When families and teachers communicate openly about student progress, strengths, and next steps, it helps everyone stay in rhythm and focused on what matters most—student learning.
This collaboration is also a key part of our district’s commitment to “Empowering Continual Success.” By working together, sharing insights, and setting goals, we ensure that students receive the encouragement and support they need both at school and at home.
We truly value the partnership we have with our families and look forward to meaningful conversations about your child’s progress. Thank you for taking the time to be part of these important discussions and for helping us continue finding the groove that leads to continual success for every student.
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
