LSP Families,
LSP Staff is so excited to meet all our new students and families! Our theme this year is DREAM BIG! Title and Developmental Preschool programs will have an Open House on Thursday, August 8th, 5:00-6:00pm. Head Start Orientation will take place on Thursday, August 15th. Orientation will begin at 6:00pm and last approximately one hour.
First Days of School
The first day of school for Title and Developmental Preschool will be Monday, August 12th. The first day of school for Head Start will be Monday, August 19th.
Dismissal Procedures
Dismissal procedures will start on the first day with students (see arrival/dismissal procedures later in the newsletter). Adults picking up students MUST have an ID with them. If an adult is not on the student's authorized pick-up list, then they will not be able to take the student with them. Keeping our young learners safe is always our number one priority!....Please be patient on the first few days of school. Our dismissal lines typically run a little slower so we can ensure all students are with their authorized adult. Once we get to know families, then the lines will run quicker.
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! During the first week of student attendance we will have a practice fire drill. Fire drills will be practiced at least once a month. We will also practice severe weather and lockdown drills each semester. Be sure to talk about the importance of being safe with your child!
Staff Professional Development
The first Friday of each month (excluding December) will be no student days. Staff will participate in professional development. No class days for professional development will be the following: 9/6, 10/4, 11/1, 1/10, 2/7, 3/7, 4/4, and 5/2.
Bookmobile/Fayette County Public Library
This year we have partnered with the Fayette County Public Library. The bookmobile will be visiting LSP two times each month after Fall Break. 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?
