Hello, Longwood Families!
It was a terrific full week! We were thrilled to see many classes celebrating class-wide rewards for filling their marble jars or bingo boards. 2K, for example, celebrated with a PJ day on Friday, while 5Green celebrated with a game party. Way to go, lions, demonstrating leadership in meeting classroom and school expectations!
Arrival/Dismissal:
During arrival and dismissal, we do not have any supervision on the playground. Please speak with your student about the importance of staying off the playground in the morning before school. Students who arrive prior to 8:50 should be standing on the blacktop waiting to enter at door #2 or #3.
Students must go home directly after school. We have had many instances of students staying at the playground, not going directly home. If parents are going to be late picking up their student, the student will wait at door #2 or in the office until a parent/guardian arrives. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and ensure that all students make it home in a timely manner.
This Week:
Coming up this week, we will practice our first Severe Weather Drill on Thursday. Friday, October 27th we will honor our October Longwood Leaders for demonstrating "Self Control" and will celebrate all of our students who have demonstrated this trait throughout the month with a PBIS school-wide celebration at the end of the day on Friday.
Join us Friday evening for our PTA FALL FEST from 6:30-8:00pm! This event is free to families and offers tons of fun games and crafts! Students are welcome to wear a costume. We look forward to celebrating with you!
Join our Team!
Are you interested in joining our outstanding staff? We're in need of an additional crossing guard at arrival and dismissal. Visit the district's website for more information and to apply today!
After dropping off your student in the morning, are you occasionally available to stay until 9:30 to help students make purchases at the Lion's Den Store? We are in need of parent volunteers to help at our Lion's Den Store from 9:00-9:30. Email Mrs. Meyers at valerie_meyers@ipsd.org to share your availability!
Thank you for staying connected! Please continue reading for photo highlights of our week and other important reminders.
Have a wonderful weekend, Lions! Thank you for being a part of our Pride!
