Little Spartans News
November 2023
A Note From the Director/Principal:
This school year is going quickly! We are already into the holiday season, which means more fun learning experiences for our Little Spartans. Be sure to follow Little Spartans Preschool and Fayette County Schools Head Start on Facebook for daily photos! Teachers also share information and pictures on what is happening in their classrooms on ClassDojo!
Recess/Outdoor Learning
Please be sure to send students with a jacket/coat. We will be going outside for recess and/or outdoor learning as long as the temperature is above freezing.
Picture Retake Day
School picture retake day is Wednesday, November 29th.
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!
Little Spartans Preschool regularly practice emergency drills! In November, we will have a fire drill and an off-site evacuation drill. Families are notified on ClassDojo after drills have taken place. This is a great time to talk about the importance of being safe with your child!
Bookmobile/Fayette County Public Library
This year we have partnered with the Fayette County Public Library. The bookmobile will be visiting LSP two times in November (2nd and 16th). The Fayette County Public Library will also be reading and doing crafts with our classrooms......Did you know Fayette County Public Library has family events? Be sure to check out their calendar HERE.
Food Pantry/Clothing Closet Donations
The Food Pantry and Clothing Closet at LSP is open to the public 1-2 times per month. The next opening will be Thursday, November 9th, 4:00-6:00pm. We are currently taking donations of gently used clothing for our closet. If you would like to donate, please drop off clothing in the office, M-F, 7:30am-4:00pm. In November, each building within FCSC is collecting items for the Food Pantry at LSP. If any families would like to donate rice or boxed sides, please send them in with your student at anytime this month. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Classroom Newsletters
Be sure to review classroom newsletters weekly! Teachers do a great job keeping families up to date on what is happening in the classroom. Parent meetings and events specific to classrooms are also included on classroom newsletters.

Front Door Security
Safety is always our number one priority! In order to keep our front lobby more secure, the front doors will ONLY be unlocked from 7:50-8:15a.m. A buzzer/intercom system has been installed on the right hand side of the front doors. If the front doors are locked, just push the green button and someone from the office will be right with you. The left door will then be unlocked so you can enter the lobby.
