Important Dates & Reminders - September 17, 2021

September 17, 2021

Family Newsletter

This weekly publication is designed to keep you informed on upcoming events and important reminders.

This year, our weekly newsletter will look a bit different. We are limiting what goes out every Friday to announcements and updates. This will keep your weekly reading down a bit! Once a month, this space will be filled more with information about our initiatives, deeper dives on faculty members and projects, and broader community updates. We hope to balance giving you what you need to know weekly with everyone's limited time and busy lives.

Check your junk folder

Please be aware that several families have had issues with receiving our school wide emails. This tends to happen more with Yahoo accounts. If you need help you can check our this article for more info.

Water bottles

Please send your student in with an appropriately sized water bottle for what they may drink in one day. Sometimes it is difficult for students to refill their bottles during the day as they miss instruction time. It is best to send in a water bottle with a wide mouth and removable top as that makes it easier and safer for students to refill water without spreading germs. Students always have access to get a cup of water if they do not have a water bottle. Thanks for your help in keeping our students healthy and hydrated.

Parent Facebook Group

To foster connections among our current LPS families we have created a private Facebook group just for you called:

LPS Panther Parents & Families Group.

Cell phones & hats

High School students (only) are allowed to use their cell phones in AM Homeroom (7:40-7:50) and afternoon cab time (2:20-2:50). We will not be allowing students to use their phones during lunch or enrichment unless a prior situation has been discussed.

We will be going back to our pre-Covid policy of not allowing hats unless a student has specific permission. Students will be reminded to remove hats and hoods in the building upon arrival.
