Mrs. Hladun's Tidings
The state's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) requires that districts engage in meaningful discussion with parents over the use of our site's funds. We do this through a team called the School Site Council (SSC). In addition, we have an English Language Advisory Council (ELAC) that provides input to how we can best support our English learners and to provide them with resources so they can most effectively support their student.
We will meet at least three times this year:
- Tuesday, November 5 at 6:45 pm
- Tuesday, February 25 at 6:45 pm
- Tuesday, May 19 at 6:45 pm
Our ELAC is open to all families, and special invitations will be sent to the families of our English Learners. We will meet just before each SSC meeting - at 6 pm.
There will be daycare for toilet trained children at both meetings and some yummy snacks! :) Stay tuned for reminders and meeting agendas!
Safety Awareness Day
On Monday morning before school, we'll gather all students in the MPR instead of on the blacktop so we can finish our set up for this fun event!
You'll see many first responders on campus on Monday - no need for worry - they'll be here from 745am-12:30pm (ish)! All students will have recess and lunch as planned, although they will be on the field instead of on the blacktop!
Grade 3-5 families - we encourage you to send your student with a sweatshirt or jacket, as they will be outside for much of Monday morning.
This event is open to our Gr. 3-5 students and invited guests only. We have lots of volunteers ready to go, thanks to our Kiwanis Club and LCES Leadership Ambassadors!
Dress Code
Boundary Study / WPUSD School Board Meeting Discussion
There will also be discussion and decisions this winter about extended day kindergarten options at each WPUSD elementary school as well as a decision to come about where the district's new dual immersion program will be housed.
Here is a color version of the various boundary options that are being considered: http://bit.ly/boundarymapoptions
Volunteering at School
A Live Scan is valid for the adult for as long as any of your children are enrolled in the district (at any district school).
We will be hosting another Live Scan booth at our Boo Bash on 10/26 thanks to Sunset Notary - stay tuned for the times. In the office, we have a copy of firms that can provide Live Scan services in the meantime - stop in and we can get you all the details.
Parking, Drop Off & Pick Up Safety
Key info:
- We provide supervision from 7:55-8:10 am and again from 2:40-3 pm (1:40-2 on Mondays).
- We find it is less congested before 8 am and after 2:50 pm.
- Children who are riding a bike, scooter or skateboard must wear a helmet - it's the law!
- We ask that children walk their wheeled vehicles once they are on campus for everyone's safety.
