Principal's Message
As we all prepare for day 1, please take a moment to read about first day procedures and updated traffic patterns.
6th graders, that attended Aug 29th orientation, reviewed how first day would go and the WEB leaders will be present on Sept 3rd. Please, look for the tie dye t-shirts and/or staff if assistance is needed.
This year, I will be introducing staff members and teams in the newsletter. Last newsletter, shared information about our office staff, Kim Miller and Lisa Glynn. This newsletter introduces Ms. Myers and Ms. Matysik. In addition, follow us on Twitter. Staff have shared videos and happening at Lane.

Open House -- Sept 11 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Open House will have a different feel this year. So, we wanted to share some general information about the event. This is a family session. If younger siblings / students attend, separate activities will be provided by staff. Our goal for Open House is to build relationships and make connections with parents. We believe that parents play an integral part in their son's/daughter's education.
What will you do during the event:
Brief welcome in aux gym and an introduction to the 4 events that occur this this year -- open house and 3 parent teacher conferences with showcases.
Parents will be divided between two core teachers -- information will be given as families enter the cafe doors.
Parents will go to classrooms and participate in staff led activities.
The evening with still allow time for parents to walk around and meet the teachers.
Traffic Update
We have been looking at traffic patterns and in order to improve traffic flow, we have new designated parking and access to our parking lot.
The parking spaces in front of the building will be open for visitors and/or parents who need to assist their child inside the school building.
Please, use the north lot driveway to access Lane.
Staff will park in the north lot.
Traffic Safety Guidelines
Traffic Guidelines: In order to increase safety and traffic flow, please follow the traffic guidelines for drop off and pick up.
Drop off / Pick up Suggestions: Here are some HELPFUL REMINDERS regarding student pick-up and drop-off:
Ride the bus if your child is eligible.

The parking lot is used for parents who need to assist their child inside the school building.
Keep students safe! Please exercise safe driving habits and caution while in the parking lot.
