LODL Newsletter- "THE WAVE"
el 22 de marzo 2024
From the Desk of Sr. Kucinski
Dearest Families of LODL:
This will be our last newsletter of Quarter 3 and before Spring Break. After we return from Spring Break, the mad rush to the end of the school begins with fun year end capstone events, celebrations, and testing.
Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools has begun a strategic plan review and is seeking input to help establish a shared vision among community members. The next meeting is tomorrow, March 23, 9-11:00 a.m. @ McColl Pond ELC, 13550 Dakota Ave S, Savage.
To participate, families, staff, students and community members will have an opportunity to provide feedback during community meetings being held February - April. Input gathered from these meetings will be reviewed by a Strategic Plan Core Team of diverse community members who are working together to form a draft that identifies key priorities and defines the roadmap for learner success in PLSAS. The draft plan will then be reviewed by the School Board in May.
Remaining meetings are:
- March 23, 9-11:00 a.m. @ McColl Pond ELC, 13550 Dakota Ave S, Savage
- March 26, 9-11:00 a.m. @ Club Prior, 16210 Eagle Creek Ave SE, Prior Lake
- April 9, 6-9:00 p.m. @ Prior Lake High School, 7575 150th St. West, Savage (RSVP for dinner)
I hope everyone has a restful and rejuvenating Spring Break April 1-5. As a reminder, there is no school next Friday, 3/29.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at 952-226-0303 or rkucinski@plsas.org.
Have a great weekend!

LODL Family Trivia Night
The LODL PTC is hosting a FREE Family Trivia Night! Start the night watching our Intern Dance Performance, and then make your way to the cafeteria for a fun family game night with prizes for the top teams.
Reserve your spot for trivia here: https://givebutter.com/LODLFamilyTrivia
NOTE: No tickets are needed to watch the dance performances and everyone is welcome. However, due to the capacity of the cafeteria we need to track how many will be attending the trivia game.

Attendance
We recognize there are many variables that can contribute to absenteeism. Students miss regularly for illness as well as other family priorities. Many absences are excused by our school, but some are not. Please continue to keep your child home if they have had a fever over 100 degrees within 24 hrs of the start of the school day, if they have vomited, or if they have diarrhea.
Here is an overview of PLSAS attendance policies from the Parent Handbook:
