If your student missed the original picture day or wants to do a retake, Reed Portrait Group will be here taking pictures first thing in the morning.

If your student will be getting a retake, they need to bring their packet back on retake day to give to the photographer that morning.

For new students, a picture order form will be going home with them next week.

Scan the QR or click on the link within the PDF to see what your grade's care package theme is and the specific items we're hoping for.

Dear Families,

Your talented student has been creating artwork to share with you! Square 1 Art flyers came home during conferences.

The artwork on your child’s flyer is actually stickers for you and your family to enjoy!

Celebrate your artists creativity with personalized keepsakes to cherish for years to come. All orders ship directly to your home and will arrive before holiday break—making wonderful gifts for family and friends!

Visit www.square1art.com/shop for gift ideas and to place your order.

Thank you for celebrating our young artists!

Families are encouraged to purchase Device Protection for just $25 per year—and there is no cost for students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

With Device Protection, accidental damage claims are $40 per incident ($20 for free/reduced lunch students), and lost or stolen devices have a $100 claim fee.

Without Device Protection, families are responsible for the full cost of repairs or replacement. For example, replacing a damaged iPad screen can cost approximately $150.

Device Protection is an affordable way to be protected from unexpected repair expenses. Click the link to sign up for One 2 One Risk device protection. More information can be found on the Technology FAQ site.

All PTA meetings will be held every other month in the Warren Hills Library at 6:00pm, every third Tuesday of odd numbered months on the following dates:

• November 10th

• January 12th

• March 9th

• May 11th

*A prize will be raffled each meeting to those in attendance!*

• Early Release Wednesdays: Each Wednesday school will be released one hour early at 3:10 p.m. Busses will only run at the 3:10 p.m. dismissal. If your child(ren) is already signed up for afternoon Kid's Zone, they are welcome to stay and go to Kid's Zone. Otherwise, all students will be dismissed at 3:10 p.m. If this creates a hardship for your family, please contact our building Principal, Ms. Hartman.
• Morning Arrival: Students may enter our building at 8:55 a.m. and the final morning bell rings at 9:10 a.m. After that time, parents MUST accompany their student(s) into the office and sign them in for the day.
• Afternoon Dismissal: Our school day ends at 4:10 p.m. and our office closes at 4:30 p.m. Please note: All students must be picked up on time. If the need arises to pick up your student at the end of our school day, we ask that you come in to the office to sign your student out & are leaving the building by 3:45 pm (2:45 pm on Early Release Wednesdays).
• Transportation Changes: If a student has a transportation change, parents must notify the office 1 hour prior to dismissal. You may call the office at: 816-736-5630 or email Julie (Julie.white@lps53.org), Carrie (carrie.whitworth@lps53.org) and the homeroom teacher. If you have transportation changes for multiple days in a week, you may email those all at once… one week at a time. Students will only be released to those individuals listed as a primary or emergency contact in PowerSchool, unless permission is given otherwise.
• Lunch With My Student: Please note: due to our large population & limited lunchroom seating, lunchtime visits are limited to no more than 1-2 visitors per student, per week. Fast food is unfortunately not allowed due to district policy. You may bring a lunch from home or purchase a cafeteria lunch.
• Attendance and Absences: Parents please notify the office by 9:30 a.m. if/when your student will be absent (or late) with the date and reason. You may call the office at 816-736-5630 or email Julie (julie.white@lps53.org) and Carrie (carrie.whitworth@lps53.org). Voicemails are also a great way to contact us before the school day begins. We check our messages at the start of each day.
• No Birthday Treats: In accordance with our district wellness policy and in support of our increased number of students with life-threatening allergies, all elementary schools will celebrate student birthdays in ways that do not involve bringing or distributing food-related treats. Every student’s birthday is important, and will be recognized during the morning announcements, and given a birthday ribbon, sticker & pencil.
• Lost And Found: Our lost & found is located in our cafeteria. At the end of each month any unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity. Please help us reduce the amount of items we donate by labeling your student(s) jackets, sweatshirts, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc.
• For additional information on our school policies please see document below.
