Holiday Gift Drive Was A Success! (from LMES PTO)
Thank you to all our families and staff who donated to the Holiday Gift Drive. Through your generosity, we were able to brighten the holidays for 24 local families with your classroom donations. Our generous LMES community collected 432 clothing items! We also donated eight large bags of blankets, books, and toys collected from our preschool classrooms which went to Southbury and Middlebury Social Services.
It's heart-warming to be a part of such a caring, giving community. I can't thank you enough for all your support.
Happy Holidays!
Best,
Janessa Greenwood

Reminders!
1. Winter Recess: Students will go out for recess in 20 degrees and above weather. Please ensure that your children are dressed for the weather (and the cold) by making sure that they bring winter coats, hats and mittens/gloves/scarves for recess. Boots and snow pants are required for playing in the snow.
2. Lobbyguard: All parents/visitors must bring in their driver's license to sign into Lobbyguard when in the building for volunteering, meetings, etc. Please read the following from our parent handbook:
LOBBYGUARD VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Region 15 has installed the LobbyGuard Visitor Management System in all schools. This system will track visitors, volunteers and vendors who come in and out of our schools. LobbyGuard provides the district with the ability to utilize modern technology to enhance the existing safety plans and strengthen the entrance protocols.
The new procedure at all schools, after entering the building as you currently do, is as follows:
A. Once in the Main Office, all visitors will be required to sign-in to the building via LobbyGuard.
B. You will be required to scan your driver’s license as part of this process.
C. Following the sign-in process, a visitor badge is printed and is to be worn at all times while on school property.
D. Any visitors who are not wearing a visitor badge while in the building will be escorted to the Main Office. The badge is self- adhesive and will not damage clothing.
The system is housed in kiosks that are located in the Main Offices and are self-directed, similar to an airport kiosk. Prior to leaving the school, all visitors must return to the Main Office to sign out using the LobbyGuard system by swiping the barcode on the visitor badge.
