Majestic Messenger

Dear LPS Majestic Families,

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and partnership as we continue navigating the start of another wonderful school year. The first few weeks always bring opportunities to learn and improve, and we are grateful for the grace you have shown as we refine our arrival and dismissal procedures.

Shout out to all the parents in the carpool line today!!!! You had your tags in the passenger windows ready to go!!!! Thank you so so so much for your partnership!

Please help us by reminding your child of the importance of staying quiet during dismissal so they can hear their name and cone number when called. We also encourage you to practice your family's dismissal number with your child so they are familiar with it and can respond quickly when it's announced. Everyone should have gotten additional car tags today in your students folder as well.

Together, these small reminders make a big difference in helping us create a safe, smooth, and efficient dismissal for everyone.

Update! We are opening up our walker option to all families. This will alleviate the carpool as well. If you wish to be a walker and were previously denied, please send me an email and I will add them to the list. I very much appreciate your patience as we make updates to get our teachers and students home safely and timely.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for partnering with us as we continue to Lead the Pride and Build the Legacy! 🦁

Every minute of instruction matters! We have noticed an increase in students being picked up early on a regular basis, and we want to remind families that consistent attendance for the entire school day is essential to student success.

When students are picked up before the end of the school day, they miss valuable instructional time, classroom discussions, interventions, and opportunities to practice and apply new learning. Those missed minutes add up quickly over the course of a school year.

Additionally, under Texas attendance requirements, students must be in attendance at least 90% of the school year to receive credit for the school year. Regular early pickups count toward missed instructional time and will impact a student's attendance records. We do NOT allow or support regular early pick ups on our campus.

We understand that occasional appointments or emergencies arise, but we ask families to avoid scheduling routine early dismissals whenever possible. Please schedule what you can to Friday's as we have many of them off from school. Thank you for partnering with us to ensure our students are present, engaged, and learning throughout the entire school day.

This will be on Thursday, 8/27. Since we have not ordered class shirts yet, students may wear class shirts from previous years, any LPS shirt, or LPS colors with their jeans!

Parents, just a reminder that we will not have school on 9/4 and 9/7!

Scholarships are available for those who qualify. Please contact Sara Escanlar at sara.escanlar@lpsfrisco.com.

We are not permitting visitors or volunteers in the school until after 9/14. This allows us time to establish routines and procedures with minimum distractions. Thank you for understanding.

Please review the Parent/Student handbook prior to the first day of school. HERE is the UPDATED link. You can access information regarding:

• Attendance
• Uniform expectations
• Technology
• Student code of conduct
• And so much more!

We will NOT have additional clothing on hand for students to change into during the school day if needed. Parents, you will need to ensure your student is in dress code everyday as well as provide additional items for students or you will be called to drop off items or pick up your student.

Our doors open for drop off at 7:00am each day in the gym, students K-5. All students will enter the building through the gym doors on the south side of the building only. Students will follow their regular schedule each day. Dismissal is at 3:55 pm everyday. Please see more information below regarding our new process for dismissal with PikMyKid as we are diligently working to streamline our process.

PLEASE AVOID ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY DIRECTLY FROM MAIN STREET FOR ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL! BACKING UP MAIN STREET IS BECOMING AN ISSUE!

Thank you all for your patience and for working with us to streamline our process as our goal is efficiency but more importantly safety!

The safety of our students is our top priority, and we need the participation of ALL families to ensure arrival and dismissal run safely and efficiently each day. Please review the traffic routes below and enter the car rider line as indicated in the image. Following the designated routes helps keep traffic moving and creates a safer environment for everyone.

As we begin the school year, please be patient with us during the first few weeks. Students, families, and staff are all learning and adjusting to the procedures together. Your cooperation and flexibility are greatly appreciated as we work to establish smooth routines.

Arrival & Dismissal Reminders

Please help us by following these important expectations:

• Remain in your vehicle at all times while in the carpool line. NEVER park and get out of your car while in the carpool line. This is a drive though line ONLY where cars should NEVER be parked.

• Students must be able to unbuckle/buckle seatbelts and exit/enter the vehicle with little to no assistance. If you feel that your student needs assistance, you may park in a designated parking spot to assist them but NOT in the carpool lane.

• Students must enter and exit the vehicle from the PASSENGER SIDE ONLY for everyone's safety.
• Students may NOT be dropped off or picked up on Majestic Gardens Drive at any time. YOU are risking YOUR student's safety by doing so. Student entry is only allowed at the front of the building.
• Students are only able to access designated entry/exits during arrival and dismissal.
• Families requesting "walker" dismissal must provide proof of residency within one-half (½) mile of the school. Students will only be designated as walkers AFTER approval from the campus. This must be YOUR residence that is on record, not a friend or family member.
• At this time, we are NOT permitting parent "walk ups" as our students are dismissed from inside the building.
• You MUST have your dismissal car tag displayed while in the carpool line. If you do not have your tag, you must park in a designated parking spot and enter the building with your drivers license/passport. We will be printing an additional car tag for each student within the first few weeks of school.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students safe and make arrival and dismissal a positive experience for everyone. Working together, we can ensure a smooth start to the school year!

PikMyKid App

We will be using a new app this year for dismissal called Pikmykid. Below is a video and the parents information guide. We hope that this will be an easy transition and help with the dismissal process. Please review prior to the first day of school for a smooth transition. We truly believe this will make our process more safe and more smooth moving forward. See map below.

Lunches

Students are encouraged to bring their lunch but in the event that packing a lunch is not desired, Lunch Link is already open for ordering. This will be the catering service that will deliver lunches to LPS for your child. The website to order is https://lunchlink.com/. Delivery for Lunch Link is Tuesday and Wednesday only. Monday and Thursday will have deliveries through LPS, however, we will not have catering from Chick-fil-A or Dillas available until after Labor Day. Please prepare your student to bring their lunches on Monday's and Thursday's in the meantime.

Water Bottles

To help maintain a safe and clean learning environment, all students need a spill-proof water bottle each day. This helps prevent spills that can create safety hazards and disrupt instruction.

Snacks

Students may bring a healthy, dry, and easy-to-eat snack for designated snack times. Choosing simple, mess-free snacks helps students quickly refuel while minimizing distractions and keeping our classrooms clean. Snack items should be easy to open by the student and not include utensils or preparation. We also prefer to avoid peanut products in the classrooms as well.

Some snack suggestions include: protein bars, dried fruit, goldfish, etc.

Chick-fil-a ordering is now open for September! Please visit myschoolbucks.com to order. Be sure to select the correct student and day when ordering, CHANGES CANNOT BE MADE.

At this time, the myschoolbucks app is not working properly for all families. Most of our families have had success by using the website in the meantime.

Chick-fil-a will be offered on Mondays 9/14, 9/21 & 9/28

Chick-fil-a will be offered on Thursdays 9/3, 9/10, 9/17 & 9/24

Dillas will be offered on FRIDAY 9/11

Ordering will close on August 23rd!

We will not accept or allow DoorDash or any other similar food delivery service for students.

If you are unable to pick up your child by 3:55 p.m., we encourage you to enroll in our after-school care program. Our teachers and staff dedicate long hours each day to supporting student learning and are not able to provide supervision beyond the end of the instructional day. Enrolling in after-school care helps ensure your child is safely supervised while also allowing our staff to conclude their workday as scheduled. We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe and efficient dismissal process.

See calendar below.

We invite every Majestic Gardens family to become part of our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)! Our PTO plays an important role in supporting our students, teachers, and school by helping provide engaging events, volunteer opportunities, campus improvements, and resources that enrich the educational experience for all children.

Whether you have a few hours to volunteer or simply want to stay connected, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can build a strong school community where every student thrives.

We hope you'll join us in making this an incredible year for our Lions. Thank you for partnering with us as we Lead the Pride. Build the Legacy.
