LSS Family Survey!
Please take a moment of your time to complete the following Family Partnership Survey. This anonymous survey should take approximately 10 minutes. These results drive our School Improvement plan to benefit all children.
All surveys need to be complete by April 12th. Last year we had 91 families respond. We need you all so that ALL voices may be heard. Thank you for your support!

The Nurse's Corner
Dear LSS Families,
I would like to announce that in May, the First Choice Health Centers will be offering dental services to our students through their School Based Health & Dental Program. The First Choice Health Centers’ Dental Van will be at LSS on Wednesday, April 15th and Thursday, 16th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Some of the services that will be offered include: dental cleaning, fluoride treatment, sealant placement and restorative care (if needed). If you are interested in enrolling your child in the program, please contact Ms. Valentino in order to request a Registration and Consent Form.
Clothes donations are much needed in the Nurse’s Office. Please, consider donating gently used children items, specially boys and girls pants size 3-8. Any small contribution will be much appreciated.
Spring is finally here! Let’s enjoy the nice weather with family and friends. Walk, exercise, explore, learn… and remember to drink plenty of water. Stay hydrated!
