Lombard Family Express

Keeping Lombard families informed.

August 12-16

7:25 AM ON TIME CHALLENGE

We are encouraging students to be in their 1st hour class no later than 7:25 a.m. This allows us to start our breakfast and announcements and not lose any instructional time. Our Advisory is at the end of the day this year.

DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES

Please avoid staff parking lot to drop off and pick up your student.

The staff parking lot (highlighted red) to the east off of Locust St. is not open to pick-ups/drop offs in the morning/afternoon. Additionally, the bus lane off of Lombard street to the West should be avoided. If we all work together we can help keep our students safe and make our process efficient.

Thank you for your help and understanding.

Please use Knox St. and its feeder streets (Lombard, Whitesboro, and Locust) to drop your child(ren) off (the areas highlighted green). Please encourage them to use the sidewalks when they approach the building. We encourage you to move from West to East so students can be dropped off/picked up on the school side and avoid having to cross traffic. If this is unavoidable, please help us by directing your child(ren) to the crosswalk located in front of the building. There will be staff member there to help them cross daily.

Chromebooks

This year students will only use devices at school. We are on eliminating screen time so students will not take chromebooks home this school year.

ID's are required.

Students will need to wear their ID's during the school hours. If students are late to school or class, they will be using their ID's. Students also use their ID's for lunch.

Hats and Hoods

In order to keep our school as safe as possible and to help staff identify individuals easily, students should not wear headwear with a hood, bill, brim or otherwise that would impede the ability to identify a student. No head coverings unless for religious reasons or for protective hair covering as approved by the Principal.

Lockers & Locks in Middle School

Students will receive lockers this year with an assigned lock. We will practice at school.

They may decorate the inside, but not the outside.

Breakfast in 1st Hour Classes

Students will eat breakfast in their 1st period class. When students arrive at 7:15, they can start eating their breakfast. Breakfast is from 7:30-7:37 and then instruction will begin.
