New Doorbell Safety System at LPES
If you have been by to visit the school in the last few weeks, you may have noticed our new doorbell system. The county has installed a new and improved safety system that allows our school to keep our front doors locked. When you come to the school, simply press the new doorbell, located on the left side of our front doors, and wait for a front office staff member to welcome you into the building. In addition to the front door safety system, we will also receive new and improved surveillance cameras throughout our campus.
Front Office Wish List
- White Copy Paper
- Tissue Boxes
- Hand Sanitizer
- Hand Soap
- Size 10,12, and 14 pants and shorts for boys and girls
- Size 6, 8 underpants for boys and girls (new)
