October 22, 2022
Dear Families,
We are excited to start second quarter! We were busy this week with several events. These included: wrapping up our fall fundraiser, 3rd graders completing our field trip to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead, celebrating Unity Day, our monthly PTA meeting, watching the NED show presentation, and our 3rd graders practicing for our upcoming concert.
If your student receives Title I services (interventions in either reading and/or math from one of our 4 interventionists) please see the Title I information below. This explains our Title I program and process. We share information with parents to satisfy our Title I requirements. We will also include families in our program analysis towards the end of the year.
This next week we have our 1st grade field trip, our 3rd grade music practice at Lansing Middle School, our October Site Council Meeting, our 3rd grade music performance at Lansing Middle School, our PTA Skate Night, and our October PRIDE Assembly over RESPECT.
October is flying by!
Reminders:
We have transitioned from letter grades to standards-based grading as a K-5 system. Please see information below regarding this shift.
Safety: We have implemented increased security measures. Visitors will not be allowed to enter the building during arrival or dismissal. All visitors will need to call ahead or use the walkie-talkie at the entrance.
Attendance- Please call us at 913-727-1128 in the event your student will not be at school, will be in to school late, or needs to leave early.
Traffic: Please remain in your vehicles during car rider pick up. Thank you for following our traffic protocol.
Going Home: Please remember to call in any ride changes before 3 PM. The number to call is 913-727-1128.
Bus Transportation: must be pre-arranged by families. If your student rides the bus, you may want to use the Compass app (see info below). This provides parents and guardians about bus information in real-time.
