Lions Park Paw Prints
Letter from the Principal
Dear Lions Park Families,
We can't believe that next week is our last full week of school. We are excited about Field Day and the fifth grade picnic. We continue to be proud of the things that are happening in out classrooms. Kristin Merrill, our art teacher, participated in a partnership program with the Field Museum. You can see more about what our students did at this link.
As this year comes to a close, we are glad to celebrate the careers and retirement of Colleen Novak (special education), Greg Fudala (band), Laura Harris (orchestra), and Rose Trupiano (Kids Corner). We will greatly miss seeing these dedicated and caring educators in our schools each day, but we are happy for them and wish them all the best as they start this new chapter.
Thanks to our PTO Board for their service during this challenging year. The outstanding leadership of Molly Wintermute and Monica Janiczek (co-presidents), Patty Susmarski and Mariya Thomas (co-vice presidents), Mallory Reyes (secretary), Jackie Foley (treasurer) and their committee chairs provided our students with fun and engaging activities while raising money for our school to purchase a projector for our gym and new books for our LRC. I feel so fortunate to live and work in a community where our community volunteers make such a positive impact.
We will collect Chromebooks and chargers on June 1st. Please make sure to send these items to school that day with your child. We will be calling home and asking you to bring them to school if the children don't have them, since we need to ensure we have all devices collected before the end of the year.
The yearbooks have arrived at our school. They will be distributed between now and June 1st at a time selected by each grade level. Remote students will receive their yearbook at the supply drop off on June 1st or they can come by the office next week. If you forgot to order, you can still order a yearbook to be shipped direct to your home address. Since it is after the deadline, you will be charged for shipping. Go to www.treering.com - at the top you’ll see “Order A Yearbook” - click on that and enter our school code: 1016141815331643.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Warmly,
Katie Kelly
Principal
Lions Park School

Technology Issues
Although technology can work well, there are times when it just does not work correctly. Teachers will not be available to respond to emails during instructional times. Instead, please submit a Remote Learning Technology Support form by clicking here. Once submitted, someone from our District Technology Team will contact you to provide assistance.
If you experience a technical issue, please follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem:
Restart the Chromebook (make sure it turns all the way off before turning back on).
Quit any unused applications.
Sign out of an application if it's not working, and sign back in.
Move closer to your internet router if you are experiencing connectivity issues.
Turn off any accessibility features i.e., contrast mode, special cursor that may be set on the Chromebook. These can cause applications to run slow.
