A Message From Principal Bame
Due to pending legislation regarding the proposed House Bill 13 all year round schools have needed to delay track assignments for new and existing students. I am not comfortable making changes that would result in track assignment changes for families while class size ratios are still pending. We are all hoping to get some better direction next week, but everything hinges on the decisions made around this bill. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. Our LPES community is truly world class!
SIncerely,
Raleigh Bame
Principal
