LES Weekly Newsletter

Eagle Families,

Welcome September even though it feels like July. School is well underway and we are learning many new things. STEM is happening in the library throughout the week. Students are learning to problem solve and work as a team. The last part is challenging for some students and these activities help them learn those critical skills they will need as they grow.

We look forward to seeing parents next week for Parent/Teacher conferences. If you have not signed up please contact your child's teacher for a time. Teachers will have lots of information to share with you about how the year is starting off.

Heritage Weekend is quickly approaching. I am looking forward to seeing it through a different lens this year. Our third and fourth graders will have a special Heritage field trip next week and our K-2 students will listen to an author, Mike Jackson, read his book about a tractor. He was here a couple of years ago with his first book. If you are interested in purchasing a book you can find that information here: https://www.olemassey.com/.

Have a wonderful Labor Day,

Mrs. Tostaine

This is a new process and everyone needs to have a background check if you want to volunteer or chaperone at school. This background check will be good for three years.

Please note: If you are currently employed by Lanesville Community School Corporation (teacher, substitute teacher, paid coach, or other staff member), you do not need to complete the volunteer background check, as you already have an employment background check on file.

Important Information:

• Cost: $23.40
• Valid for: 3 years
• Processing Time: 5–10 business days
• Background Check Portal: https://lanesville-community-school-corporation-vol-sp.school-background-checks.com/

All personal information submitted is kept confidential and is used solely for the purpose of ensuring student safety. Please be aware: The background check is a multi-step process. After submitting your information, you will receive two separate emails from KidTraks Support—one containing a link and another containing your password. You must complete the final step within 10 days or your application may expire and need to be restarted.

If you think you may volunteer at any point during the school year, we encourage you to complete your background check before school begins.

Are you having issues applying for the background check? Use this guide to help with any issues. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z0GNIWy5ULYJjxGdNsuAa2NYSkwE08-Soz6zvQuCndo/edit?tab=t.0
