Dear Parents/Legal Guardians:
It seems like the warmer weather is finally here! As we enter the last quarter, please be sure your child attends school regularly and on time. We want to be sure he/she is finishing off the school year on a strong note. Please know the LCSD will be offering a summer school program for our current students in grades K-4 to help bridge academic gaps in reading, math and social/emotional skills. Your child’s classroom teacher may be reaching out to you to discuss this opportunity if he/she believes your child is in need of the support.
As a reminder, all reports of student conflict and/or bullying will be addressed. Students should want to come and feel safe at school. Students are encouraged to: 1) talk with a trusted adult, 2) report bullying, 3) stand up to bullying by saying “STOP” or walking away, 4) apply strategies to stay safe such as staying near adults or traveling with friends, 5) help others who are bullied by showing kindness or getting help.
If you or your child believes there has been an issue of a conflict or bullying, or would like assistance discussing this topic further, please reach out directly to any of the following staff members:
- Administrator – Jenn Gilson – jgilson@lockportschools.net – (716) 478-4401

Your child’s class may be participating in field trips, assemblies and/or grade level activities in the upcoming weeks. Please know that anyone who plans on attending MUST be registered into the LCSD RAPTOR system and sign-in at the Main Office. This requires you to have your license scanned into the system and the secretary will provide you a printed visitors’ sticker for the event. Once your license is entered into the system, you will only need to obtain a visitor’s sticker; you do not need to scan your license for each event or on an annual basis. Feel free to stop by the Main Office between 8AM-4PM, Mondays through Fridays to have your ID entered into the system. This will save you time and frustration on the day of the said event.
Happy Spring!
