Lansing Elementary Weekly Update
Newsletter for the Lansing Elementary School Family
March 30, 2024
Dear Families,
We were busy this week with our building late start on Thursday and our monthly LES Site Council Meeting. We also had our kindergarten site word hunts. Thank you to our community volunteers who assisted with our kindergarten site word hunts!
Next week, we have no school for staff or students on Monday. On Wednesday we have our Paraprofessionals AND Aides Appreciation Day. We will also complete our 3rd grade Kansas State Assessments in English Language Arts on Wednesday and Thursday morning this week. Please make sure students are getting a good nights sleep and eat breakfast. We are excited for our students to show how much they have learned!
We also have our district late start and our Inclusive Playground Committee meeting on Thursday. Our Inclusive Playground Meeting is at 4:00 in the library. All are welcome! Friday is our Librarian Appreciation Day and our PTA fundraiser reward field-trip. On Saturday this week we have our District Art Showcase and Health & Wellness Fair. It is free to attend these events. We hope to see you there!
Thank you for continuing to dress students in layers. The weather has been chilly in the mornings. Please keep sending students to school with a jacket and closed toe shoes.
We have received 343 Family Engagement Survey responses. Thank you for completing our survey! We use the results of this survey to determine how we are interacting with our community and in which areas we can improve. The winning class at each grade level by % of respondents will receive a prize. Please use this link to access our Family Engagement Survey and enter your student(s) for a prize: https://forms.gle/a54vjJ8A1WD7MtUy9
