Close Contacts to Covid Positive In Unmasked Area
In the event that you are contacted by Mr. Messier or Ms. Bailey and informed that your child is a close contact to a confirmed Covid positive person, your child will need to quarantine, unless your child is fully vaccinated (two weeks after second dose). A copy of your child's vaccination card may be emailed directly to Nurse Twigg (artwigg@carrollk12.org)
Quarantine Learning Support
Ms. Cheryl Lee, our quarantine success coach, is available to support all students who are in quarantine. If your child is on quarantine and you have questions regarding their assignments, please contact Ms. Lee directly via email at cslee@carrollk12.org.
JOIN OUR LSE FAMILY
HELP WANTED! Did you know that our school has employment opportunities currently available? Please contact Mr. Messier (gpmessi@carrollk12.org) or Ms. Bailey (jabail2@carrollk12.org) for more details on available positions. Interested applicants are asked to also visit the Employment Opportunities section of the CCPS website, as they must complete a CCPS employment application to be fully considered for positions. The CCPS Department of Human Resources manages this process and is the only office authorized to make official employment offers once the school completes interviews and all required documentation is finalized. Please share this information with family and friends who may be interested in employment. Thank you for your continued support of our school community.
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
THANK YOU!
Our Scholastic Book Fair was the most successful book fair in LSE history! We greatly appreciate the support from our many volunteers--without your partnership, the book fair would not have been as successful.
