Dear Families,
We had a great week! Thanks to the families who have reached out about supporting our initiative to build a playground that all students can access. We will meet at 4:00 on Friday, February 3 in the library at Lansing Elementary School to create a plan going forward. All are welcome! USD 469 has created a donation link for anyone wanting to contribute to the playground fund, please feel free to share: https://usd469.revtrak.net/donation-item/#/v/donations
This next week, we will have late start on Thursday and the building will open at 9:00.
Thank you for continuing to following traffic patterns. As a reminder please follow all traffic patterns. Anyone wishing to experience less traffic at arrival or dismissal is asked to arrive between 8:15-8:30 AM (M-W & F) and 9:15-9:30 AM on Thursday. The same goes for arriving for dismissal between 3:30 and 3:45 PM.
