Message from Mrs. Tostaine
Eagle Families,
We are seeing wonderful learning happening at Lanesville. Teachers have started WIN groups. WIN groups are What I Need. Everyone is in a group learning at their level. This may look like remediation, reteaching or enrichment. Working in smaller groups focusing on what they need to be successful will help us strive for Excellence.
What can you do to help us with that you ask? Reading with your child or helping them find a quiet space to read on their own. Talking with your child about what they have read. Playing games with your child helps promote literacy, numeracy and social interactions. Working with your child(ren) just a few minutes each day helps partner with school to help students be more successful with their learning and in life.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Tostaine

Volunteer Background Check Information
This is a new process and everyone needs to have a background check if you want to volunteer or chaperone at school. This background check will be good for three years.
Please note: If you are currently employed by Lanesville Community School Corporation (teacher, substitute teacher, paid coach, or other staff member), you do not need to complete the volunteer background check, as you already have an employment background check on file.
Important Information:
- Cost: $23.40
- Valid for: 3 years
- Processing Time: 5–10 business days
- Background Check Portal: https://lanesville-community-school-corporation-vol-sp.school-background-checks.com/
All personal information submitted is kept confidential and is used solely for the purpose of ensuring student safety. Please be aware: The background check is a multi-step process. After submitting your information, you will receive two separate emails from KidTraks Support—one containing a link and another containing your password. You must complete the final step within 10 days or your application may expire and need to be restarted.
If you think you may volunteer at any point during the school year, we encourage you to complete your background check before school begins.
Are you having issues applying for the background check? Use this guide to help with any issues. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z0GNIWy5ULYJjxGdNsuAa2NYSkwE08-Soz6zvQuCndo/edit?tab=t.0
