Attention all current 3rd and 4th grade parents! Wednesday, June 9th we will hold a "Meet the Instrument Night" on the portico from 6:30-8pm. If your son or daughter is interested in playing an instrument next year this will be their chance to see the instrument choices and choose which one they want to play! We'll have raffle prizes to give away and a special treat for the children. Hope to see you there!
Thursday June 10 and Friday June 11 are early dismissal days for students. Students will be dismissed at noon both days. Please note, breakfast will be served both days, lunch will not be served.
Report cards will be issued electronically by the end of the day Friday, June 11. Please reach out to your son or daughter's teacher with any questions about final grades.
Teachers will be collecting iPads and textbooks prior to the close of school. This is a reminder that iPad chargers(bricks and cables) will also be collected, please be sure your son or daughter brings in the correct charger( brick and cable) for their iPad. Thank you in advance!
Parents may be held financially responsible for the replacement of items not returned (chargers, textbooks, iPads, etc.)
Virtual students will have two opportunities to drop off materials. Materials return will take place as follows:
Friday, June 11- 1-4 PM
Monday, June 14 4-7 PM
Returns will take place on the portico in a drive through format. Please post the last name of the child in the window so we can also return items to you if applicable.
If you are unable to make either of these times, the office will be open 8-4 Monday-Thursday to accept returns. When you arrive at school, call 610-323-7510 and someone will come to the car to meet you.
As a reminder, the school office is closed on Fridays beginning Friday, June 18. The office will be open Monday-Thursday from 8:00 AM-4:00 PM.
Thank you to our outgoing PTA officers: Lisa Coons, Melissa Freas, Julee Schirmacher, and Erica Lucas for your years of support and service to LPES. We wish you all the best! We appreciate all you have done for the staff and students, especially during these challenging times.
Classroom assignment letters for students entering grades 3-5 will be sent in early August. If you are moving over the summer, please contact the office to complete the withdrawal process.
We hope to be able to offer summer tours prior to the start of school. LPES will be undergoing a roof replacement project this summer. During this time, the playground will not be accessible for safety reasons. We will announce tour dates as soon as we are able to do so.
Below are the flyers for the summer learning opportunities through the MCIU. These programs are free to all PGSD students. The programs are virtual and if students participate, they will be permitted to keep their iPads over the summer. Registration details can be found in the flyers.
Below is also the flyer for the PGSD summer athletic camps.
Thank You LPES Families!
