Principal Update

3/3/23

Dear LP Families,

Happy Friday!

Welcome to March, LP Families! Did you know after today we only have 15 Fridays left in the school year? It's hard to believe we are entering the final few months of school!

We have much to look forward to during the month of March; We are wrapping up our celebrations of Black History Month and currently looking ahead to celebrating Women’s History Month throughout the month. We have the science fair, book fair, and art show happening next Friday, March 10th. Our PTA is running a spirit wear sale and hosting a family fun night at the end of the month. Last but not least, we are kicking off our One School One Book project with something really exciting. The kids don't fully know this yet but we are taking the ENTIRE school to the Museum of Play on March 30th! The book we are reading is called 'Toys!' and we couldn't think of a better way to get our students excited about reading this book other than to let them experience a day of play! More info to come soon. A huge thank you to our OSOB committee for organizing this opportunity for students!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Dr. Bello

Capital Improvements Projects Are Underway!

This summer, LP will be the recipient to some much needed upgrades through our capital improvement project. More to come on that!

For now though, one of our projects needs to start early if we are to finish on time. Our gymnasium will be receiving a new air handling unit. In order to do this work, we have to partition off half of the gym. To start, we will focus on the right side of the gym. This work will begin over February break and will take several weeks. Once the right side is complete, construction will move to the left side of the gym.

What does this mean for our students and you?!

Students will only use the left side of the gym for now. We are hoping for some great weather so we can get students outside as much as possible!

Pick-up and Drop-off changes: The location of the gym door students enter is the only thing that will need to change for this procedure. Instead of driving up to the current gym door on the right side of the gym, we will have you continue forward (towards Norton St.) until you get to the second gym door, located on the left side of the building. We will have signs and staff to help with this transition. This change will take effect Monday, February 27th. We appreciate your flexibility as we navigate this new construction.

Advanced sale tickets for Sister Act are now available for purchase!
