MORNING DROP OFF & AFTERNOON PICK UP
When driving your students to school please remember to follow our traffic pattern. Drop off is around the back of the school at the cafeteria. No one should be dropped off at the doctor's office or the church parking lot. Please remember the safety of our students is most important. To revisit the traffic pattern please click here.
When picking up students please remember to follow the One Way traffic pattern.
Thank you for your cooperation.
CELEBRATE EDUCATION WEEK
Celebrate Education Week will be October 9-13. It is a wonderful opportunity for Lenape to share all the teaching and learning that goes on during a school day! One quick reminder: So that we can respect privacy and confidentiality for all of our students, we ask that parents do not take videos or pictures while visiting Lenape. Thank you for your help with this matter.
COUNTRY GENTLEMEN'S SHOW
The show is "sponsored" by the Lenape choir. The Lenape Chamber Choir and Men's Ensemble will also perform in the concerts. Lenape alumni Durham, Hayden, Grant, and Drew have also been asked to do a guest appearance singing their winning song for the quartet contest last year. The guest quartets this year are world-class. It's a show worth advertising to our community and seeing.
The event will be held at Lenape Middle School, in the auditorium on Saturday, November 11th at 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. For more information click here.
