LPS Elementary Weekly Newsletter
Back to School Fall 2020
Welcome!
There is a lot of information to cover in this newsletter, so I have tried to organize it into information that all parents need regardless of how your child is attending, information that in-person parents need, and information virtual parents need. That way you have access to all the information whenever you might need it.
We are in full preparation for the first day of school on Wednesday, August 19th. Be watching for communication from the teachers as well near the end of the week regarding "Meet the Teacher" and pick up of any materials which will happen on Monday, August 17th (times to be announced).
You will be receiving more information about our response should a Covid case occur. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration which will then determine the level of response. Know that we don't anticipate having to close the entire school for individual cases because of the safety measures we have in place. The best prevention is everyone staying home if you have been exposed or are sick.
Information for All Parents
First Day = Wednesday, August 19th
The elementary office is open from 7:30 am - 4:00 pm.
Handbook excerpts
Students participating in live instruction whether in person or online are expected to be in uniform.
Students are expected to be in attendance at least 90% of the year to receive credit.
Academic Outfitters information
If you would like items embroidered with our logo, we have a uniform partner in Academic Outfitters and they can provide the following items.
What about supplies?
You should have completed a t-shirt size request in your registration paperwork, so we will have that information to order shirts.

Information for In Person Parents
No Parents on Day 1 or Walkers
We also will not be allowing walkers at dismissal as we cannot control exposure during that timeframe.
It may help you to know that we only have about 150 students coming in person, so that will make arrival and dismissal much easier than we are used to.
School Dismissal Manager
We will also issue you one car sign to display in your driver's side window to help us aid in loading cars. Anyone with your car sign will be allowed to pick up your child. You may make copies as you need to in case you have multiple pick-up people.
We do expect all children to be picked up within 30 minutes (by 3:45 pm).
We have a specific traffic flow for the morning and afternoon. Please see the map below if you are new; there are no changes for returning parents.
What about lunch?
Starting in September, we will have Chick-fil-A items available for purchase on Mondays and Fridays. Stay tuned for more information on that.
Can I come up and serve?
Unfortunately, we will not be allowing parents to come in and serve for now in an abundance of caution.
However, if we get to allow helpers or field trips, you must have a completed background check in order to do that. So you can go ahead and complete that now to be prepared: Background Check link
What if my child can't come to school (quarantine or other reason)?
If we need to send students home, we will send them with any materials they need to transition to online learning for that timeframe.
Need an After School option?
We also have various businesses that will send buses to pick up children for their program or to take them home. For instance, Kids R Kids, Frisco Trails Montessori, and Frisco Shuttle.
Information for Online Parents
Chromebook and Online Learning
I will email those who requested a Chromebook to confirm your request. We have decided not to charge $10 to use the Chromebook. If you already paid that fee, then the Business Office will refund that as soon as they can.
