Principal Update
11/9/23
Dear LP Families,
Happy Thursday!
As Veterans Day approaches, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the brave heroes who have served our country. To our veterans, especially our own LP Veterans Steve Crocetti, Ryan Sauerman, and Dan Dubock, your courage and sacrifice inspire us. Thank you for your service in protecting our freedoms and the values we hold dear. In observance of Veterans Day, we will not have school Friday, November 10.
You should have started receiving communication about a schedule change happening on November 20th. Typically, students have a half day of school so that Parent-Teacher conferences can take place in the afternoon. However, students in grades UPK-8 will now have a day off from school instead of a half day. Teachers will use the morning for staff development and the afternoon will still be dedicated to parent-teacher conferences.
Speaking of schedules, a reminder that we have our rescheduled Bivona Safety Night tonight (11/9) from 6:00pm to 7:00pm in the LP cafeteria. I hope you will join us to learn about the different ways to keep your student safe.
Finally, our PTA is joining up with Helendale to run an extended spirit wear store with items specific to our buildings. These items will be in before the holiday and would make excellent gifts. Please keep scrolling for more information.
I hope you all have a nice long weekend!
Dr. Bello
Join us tonight!

WHEN TO KEEP A CHILD HOME WITH ILLNESS
It can be hard to know when to send children to school if they tell you that they do not feel well. Usually, the best place for them is in school, but there are some times when keeping them home to rest or call for an appointment with your health care provider is recommended.
Please keep your child home and/or contact your child’s doctor for:
*Fever greater than 100.0° (taken by mouth)
*Vomiting and/or diarrhea within the last 24 hours
*Severe sore throat along with fever and feeling ill for more than 48 hours, or after exposure to Strep throat infection
*Honey-crusted sores around the nose or mouth or rash on other body parts
*Large amounts of mucous (liquid) from their nose, with face pain or headache
*Severe ear pain or fluid coming from the ear
*Severe headache, especially with fever
If your child has a fever, it is not a good idea to give them medicine like Tylenol or Advil and send them to school because as soon as the medicine wears off, the fever may return and you will be called to come and pick up your child.
Please keep children home for 24 hours after the fever ends or they have completed 24 hours of medication if prescribed by your health care provider.
If you find your child is frequently asking to stay home from school, if they are falling behind or appear anxious about school, or if there does not appear to be any physical symptoms, contact your school nurse and your health care provider to discuss your concerns.
Remind children to throw away used tissues, cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, keep their hands away from their face, and to wash hands often with soap and warm water will help keep everyone healthier.
Please call us with any concerns or questions.
