LaCygne Elementary News
Back to School August 2018
From the Principal, Cindy Dziadosz
It's Back to School time again!
I am excited to begin the 2018-2019 School Year and look forward to working with all of the wonderful LaCygne Elementary students, staff, and families. We will host a "Meet the Teacher Night" on Wednesday, August 15th from 5:30-7:00 PM to allow students the opportunity to meet their teacher and drop off their school supplies prior to the first day. School begins at 8:10 AM on Thursday, August 16th for all students in grades PK-5. We will also host a "Back to School" night on Thursday August 30th from 5:30-7:00 PM where teachers will give formal presentation on the curriculum and their classrooms. Look for more detailed information to come soon!
A walk through our building will reveal the components of our successful team. The “TEAM” includes a caring dedicated staff that has high expectations for themselves and their students, supportive parents and dedicated students. The quality of relationships that exist between home and school adds to the uniqueness and success of LaCygne Elementary.
Teachers and staff will be embracing their inner "pirate" this year as they find ways to incorporate passion and enthusiasm in their instruction. They will also continue to utilize cooperative learning activities to assist our students in developing good skills in working with others.
Our ultimate goal of providing a solid education which focuses on student growth is achieved through high expectations for quality teaching and student achievement. We are committed to providing a safe, positive learning environment to ensure academic success and solid character development.
We invite you to tour our district and school website, or follow us on Facebook and become familiar with our wonderful school. If I can be of assistance in any way please stop by or give me a call at 913-757-4417.

Arrival and Dismissal
School Dismisses at 3:30 PM. Students are dismissed in groups to assist in keeping students safe and more easily accounted for. Walkers and bike riders are dismissed first, car riders in the drive through lane are dismissed next and then those whose parents have parked in the south lot are dismissed. Once our school year is under way our dismissal process typically takes 3-5 minutes. Thank you in advance in realizing that 3-5 minutes is a small amount of time to assist us in keeping a child safe. Thank you for also knowing that what is most convenient for adults is not always the safest for all students.
