LSP Families,
December is a very busy month at LSP with dress-up days, holiday programs, and Santa visiting! There's something truly magical about seeing young children excited for the holidays. Teachers and students have worked hard to decorate the building, and we are excited to share the holiday spirit with families. Be sure to check the dates on this newsletter, so your family doesn't miss out on all the holiday fun!
Recess/Outdoor Learning
Please be sure to send your child to school with a heavy coat, gloves, and a hat. Children will go outside to play unless the feels like temperature is below twenty-eight degrees. If your child is in need of a coat/gloves/hat, please let us know.
Donations
LSP is the home of the Spartan Closet. We accept donations of gently used clothing (all sizes). We are currently in need of gently used children's clothing. If you or someone you know has some they would like to donate, they can drop off at the front office. We appreciate any support we can get to keep the Spartan Closet stocked for families.

Sick Student Procedures
Procedures for sick students can be found later in the newsletter. A rule of thumb to follow is 'students must be free of fever/diarrhea/vomiting for 24 hours (without medication) before returning to school.'
Bookmobile
This year we have partnered with the Fayette County Public Library. The bookmobile will be back at LSP on December 2nd from 11:15a.m.-2:00p.m.. In January, the Bookmobile will come to LSP two times a month on Thursdays. This is a great way for families to utilize community resources!
2 Hour Delays and Closings
December often brings in cold weather and hazardous driving conditions. If the Fayette County School Corporation (FCSC) delays, there will be NO AM preschool sessions. Full day Head Start students will be picked up on the bus two hours later than their normal morning pick-up time. Full day Head Start students can be dropped off at 9:50a.m. if they do not ride the bus. Our kindergarten classroom can also be dropped off at 9:50a.m. like normal and class will begin at 10:00a.m. If FCSC were to close, then there will be NO PRESCHOOL OR KINDERGARTEN sessions for the day.
Safety, Safety, Safety
Don't be alarmed if you notice police presence at LSP! The Connersville Police Department and the Fayette County Sherriff's Department regularly visit to make sure our students and staff are safe. If there ever is an emergency, families will be notified via Powerschool Messenger, ClassDojo, and Social Media (Facebook/Twitter). If your phone number changes for any reason, please notify the office so we can update our system!
