In the LSE PTO know!
JANUARY 2021
YOU put the "P" in PTO!
Getting involved in your child's education is an experience to remember! Whether it's volunteering at an event, helping at school during the day, or helping with things from home, your time and assistance are what puts the "P" in PTO! Our mission is to support and enrich the experience of our staff & students, but we operate solely on volunteers. Many hands make light work, and we happen to also have a lot of fun doing it! In this day and age of a multitude of commitments, we value any time you can offer in any way that you are able. Your kids will think it's pretty cool too! We hope that you will consider lending a hand to make the 2020-2021 school year amazing!
Join us via Zoom for our January PTO Meeting!

The Gertrude Hawk Candy sale is our biggest fundraiser for this year! Packets with information about the sale, as well a product catalog, will come home with your student(s) on January 22nd. The sale will run until February 19th, and products can be picked up at school on March 25th (pick-up date is pending). Wildcat Remote student will be contacted by your child's teacher regarding packet pick-up.
All profits from the sale go back to our students to fund things such as assemblies, t-shirts, memory books, student activities and much, much more. We need your help to make this year’s candy sale our best ever! Again this year, you will be able to place online orders as part of the candy sale.

PROUD TO BE LSE!
SCHOOL/CLASS DIRECTORY (You must enter your child for her/him to be included!)
Some of you have already registered on the website and signed your child(ren) up for the Class DIrectory... thank you! While we will not be using PTBOard as our information website this year, we will still utilize it for our LSE Classroom Directory!
First, you will need to register on the website. Once you are registered, you can add your student(s) and are able to change/correct your information at any time throughout the year. If you would like your child to be included in this resource, you will need to follow the steps below.
Once you've set up your account, please follow these steps:
1) From the Home Page, click on the tab on the left that says "Student Directory"
2) Click on "My Student"
3) Click on the GREEN "Add a Student" button on the right
4) Select your student's grade and teacher, and add his/her information
5) Click "Show in Directory", save and you're all set!
Once you've added each child, they will show up on the site and you can then download by class, grade or the whole school. If any of your contact information changes at any time, you simply go back into your account on the website and update your information.
Please remember that for privacy issues, all members who join hang out in the "pending" file until we have verified that they are a parent of a student that is registered at LSE. If your file doesn't show up immediately, it's b/c it's in the "pending" file and we will approve it as soon as we've confirmed that you do belong to LSE :) The safety of our families is very important to us.
Additionally, the Directory is optional. Should you choose not to include your students' information, that is totally fine as well! We hope that those who chose to utilize this tool find it an easy way to connect with friends and LSE families!

CLEARANCES
While volunteers are not currently permitted in the buildings, we are hopeful that this will change by the end of the school year. Taking care of this part now will allow you to help with school needs/events as soon as we are given the "green light"!
We very much appreciate all of the parents who have already submitted their clearances. Without parent volunteers, the PTO couldn't do all the great things we do for our school!
