Principal Update

Dear LP Families,

Happy Friday! I know many of the kids are very excited about the glow dance tonight. Make sure you give yourself time to find parking as LP unfortunately has limited spots. Feel free to use the central office parking lot located off of Norton Street for additional parking. This is not a drop-off event so please make sure you accompany and stay with your student(s) for the entire event.

Please note, we can only admit families that have RSVP'd to the dance. We will not be able to accept cash or new entrants at the door. We are at maximum capacity; thank you for understanding.

Each student will receive a glow necklace or bracelet upon entry. However, there will be additional glow items for sale, as well as snacks for purchase. We are looking forward to having some fun as a school community event! See you soon!

Dr. Bello

Families will get to learn more about nicotine use and vaping in our youth community, ask questions, and learn more about prevention.

Both our LP PTA and DE PTA are co-sponsoring this event. Save the date! March 5th, 7:00pm at Durand Eastman Auditorium.
