Knights' News
Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School September 8-18, 2020
Hello LEP Families!
We hope this newsletter finds you well. We are thrilled to have our students back, those learning in person and remotely. Thank you so much to our school community for making the return to school a smooth one.
Please know that we have been continually working to educate students about all of the measures that we must take, including hand sanitizing, wearing masks, and the importance of physical distancing, both on and off campus. Reinforcing these messages at home is greatly appreciated. With many new procedures in place and rules to follow, we are so grateful to be working with a school community that is doing its part to keep our community safe.
Welcome to our new and returning Knights! We're so happy to see you!

News from the Library
From our librarian, Ms. Ecclestone: We have new Library Management Software in the library called Insignia. There are some nice new features on this software, please check it out! You can search for books here: rbs.insigniails.com/library/home You can access the Gale online databases here: https://www.galepages.com/ko_k12hs_d50 * the password for the Gale databases is rainbow It's good for the students to know how to use these because it provides them with the tools to do the research without the need for physical distancing!
