Dear Lido Family,

As the school year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the amazing journey we have had together. It has been a pleasure to watch your child grow and learn throughout the year.

Our students have shown resilience, adaptability, and determination. They have worked hard, and their efforts have paid off. I am proud of each and every one of them.

I want to thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement throughout the year. Your involvement in your child's education has been invaluable, and it has made a difference in their success.

As we prepare for the summer break, I encourage you to continue to nurture your child's love for learning. Reading, exploring new places, and engaging in creative activities are all great ways to keep their minds active and curious. We will be sharing a summer project filled with reading and fun on the last week of school.

I wish you all a safe and happy summer. I look forward to seeing our returning students in the fall, and I welcome our new students with open arms.

See you on the First Day of School Wednesday, September 6th.

We are Lido Strong and Lido Proud!!

Attendance:

While daily attendance is vital for students’ success, students who are ill should remain home and recuperate so they can perform their best at school. Students who have fever symptoms must not come to school for 24 hours since the onset of the fever. State law requires an explanation for all absences. Please send an absence note on the day your child returns to school, no matter how brief the absence. If your child is going to be absent, or if your contact information changes, please notify the Health Office at 897-2148 (Pre-K-5).

Late:

Please be advised that with the new schedule, students in Kindergarten – Fifth grade will be marked late if they arrive past 8:55 am. Instruction begins promptly at 8:45am for K – 5 students. Pre-Kindergarten students will be marked late if they arrive past 8:20am (AM session) and 11:30am (PM session). Instruction for our Pre-Kindergarten AM session begins promptly at 8:20am and instruction for our Pre-Kindergarten PM session begins promptly at 11:30am.

Drop Off Lane:

When you come to the drop off lane, be sure to let your child/children exit your car on the curb side (right side). You cannot park and leave your car in the drop off lane. Please do not double park or create two drop lanes, near the drop off lane for the safety of students and staff. If you would like to walk your child/children to school please park your car in the parking lot.

Dismissal:

As a friendly reminder, please be sure to stand in the walker zone during dismissal. Students will not be allowed to walk to the parking lot area without an adult. We also ask that students are not taken off their line without notifying their teacher first for the safety of all students.

Visiting Lido:

Whether you are visiting our school, heading to the nurses office, or need to do an early pick-up, please be sure to go to our security in our main entrances and bring photo ID.
