A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL BAME
Dear Penguin Families,
We are mid-way through our Boosterthon Fundraiser at LPE. Thank you to all families who have contributed in our PTA's effort to provide our school with resources and materials. As always, our focus will continue to be on teaching and learning, ensuring all academic core time is not disturbed.
For those families who have completed and submitted track change requests for the 2018-2019 school year, please be aware that decisions will not be finalized until mid-April. Families will receive approval or denial communication in writing. Thank you for your patience as we await our final planning numbers for the upcoming school year.
If your family is taking an educational trip, please submit an educational approval request in writing one week prior to your trip. Forms are available online and at our front desk. We appreciate your support!
Please join me for Coffee with the Principal, sponsored by our wonderful PTA, on Saturday, April 14th at 8:45 AM in our Media Center. I am looking forward to getting to chat with you all soon!
Kind Regards,
Mrs. Raleigh Bame
