Lansing Elementary Weekly Update
Newsletter for the Lansing Elementary School Family
May 15, 2020
As we complete this school-year, I want to take the time to thank our awesome parent community for your partnership and support all year long, but especially during the COVID-19 crisis.
I know our kids have learned so much about patience, perseverance, resiliency, and doing hard-things. Don't worry about your students academic progress. We are all in the same situation and as we resume some normalcy with school, we have a team of professional educators that will meet our kids where they are and provide a quality education.
The official last day of school is Thursday, May 21, 2020. I will send out monthly summer communication for June and July and resume weekly communication in August. I will keep you updated on the plans for re-opening schools as we know more from Governor Kelly's and the Kansas State Department of Education's guidance and plan. One more week-we've got this!
