See below for childcare options from Kelly Skinner on January 4th and 5th.
Kelly Skinner's After Hours Program
Does your child need after school care and supervision? Help with homework? The AFTER HOURS program at our secondary campus is EXPANDING to include any student from elementary or secondary.
Kelly Skinner runs this program independently of the school, and is an LPS mom who loves our school and students. She substitutes regularly and has been very involved in multiple school activities over the past four years. AFTER HOURS currently has 3 elementary siblings of secondary students along with 4 secondary students. Elementary students will be walked down to the secondary building by Mrs. Skinner after they are released for the day. The classroom at secondary is currently not in use during the school day as it is assigned to an online teacher.
AFTER HOURS is available for early release days and now FULL days are available on January 4th and 5th as there will be no school on either of those Staff Development days. During the day your child can expect to play games, complete homework, have chrome book time, play outside or in the gym when available, do art projects, science experiments, and watch a G rated movie on full days. Students need their own snack and water, on full days they also need a lunch from home. We follow all of the normal LPS COVID policies, and pick up is at the Secondary building south parking lot (regular drop off and pick up area).
Please contact Kelly Skinner directly to sign up!

No More Club LIT
So, please plan accordingly as that will not be an option for parents arriving late. Kelly Skinner will still operate her program but we simply won't be able to facilitate last minute additions.
3rd Nine Weeks Commitment for In Person vs. Online
So the Commitment Form will be sent out on January 1st with a deadline of noon on Monday, January 4th. You only need to complete the form if you are CHANGING your child's learning format (i.e. from online to in person, or in person to online).
We must have a decision by then so the teachers have time to prepare for any changes. A reminder will be sent out on Sunday the 3rd and the form will close at noon on the 4th.
LPS Federal Report Card for 2019-2020
Federal Report Cards for each of the district’s campuses are now available on the district’s website at this link: https://www.lpsfrisco.com/domain/185 or are also available on the Texas Education Agency’s website at: https://tea.texas.gov/Finance_and_Grants/Grants/Federal_Report_Card/.
Update from the Texas Education Agency
The Texas Education Agency has issued guidance that allows school districts to stop offering virtual instruction to individual students with poor grades or attendance. Texas public school districts are not required to provide online-only classes to all students. Districts must offer in-person instruction to those families that want it. Under the new guidance, districts now can deny virtual instruction to children with an average grade of less than 70 in their classes or at least three unexcused absences in a grading period. Districts must notify parents and guardians at least two weeks in advance about their intention to stop offering virtual classes to a student. Families can appeal the decision by submitting medical documentation or seeking a “transition meeting” to discuss options.
