Lansing Elementary Weekly Update
Newsletter for the Lansing Elementary School Family
September 16, 2023
Dear Families,
We had a great week! We had our K-5 PTA Back-to-School Bash on Wednesday, on our first grade playground. Thank you to our many community members who came out to support our PTA and volunteered their time. What a great turn out! This week we also completed our fall benchmark screeners.
This week we have staff training on Monday, Homecoming Spirit Week, picture day and, Behavior Intervention Support Team training for families who have registered over protections vs. punishment on Tuesday, Late Start on Thursday, and our PTA meeting on Thursday. All are welcome. Please read below for more information about these events.
Our first Lansing Elementary Site Council Meeting will take place September 28th from 4-5pm. If you are interested in applying for Site Council, please complete an application here: https://forms.gle/wfa7ifLXhUuRVkTV9
A few reminders:
Bagtags: Students should now have tags on their backpacks indicating how they are going home. Please do not remove these. This assists us in ensuring your student is in the correct location at dismissal.
Bus riders: If your student is a bus rider, I strongly encourage you to get the bus compass app. This will allow you to monitor bus location in real time.
Visitors: We would like to remind families that all visitors must enter and sign in through the office.
Our Schedule: Our school day is from 8:30-3:30 (M-W, & F) and 9:30-3:30 on Late Start Thursdays (if there are 3 or more days of school). Students are considered tardy if they arrive at school after 8:30 (M-W, & F) and 9:30 on Late Start Thursdays. If your student(s) is going to be late or absent please call us at 913-727-1128.
