Full day Head Start students can be dropped off at 9:50a.m. if they do not ride the bus. If FCSC closes, then there will be NO PRESCHOOL sessions for the day.
Firefly Partnership
Firefly will be partnering with the Food Pantry/Clothing Closet at Little Spartans Preschool. On the 4th Thursday of each month, community members can attend a FREE safe sleep/car seat class and attend the Food Pantry/Clothing Closet. Those interested in attending the FREE class should call 765-827-2045. Participants will receive a FREE pack n play, FREE sleep kit, and a chance to win a FREE car seat! Be sure to call and sign up soon!
Recess/Outdoor Learning
Please be sure to send your child to school with a heavy coat, gloves, and a hat. Children will go outside to play unless the feels like temperature is below twenty-eight degrees. If your child is in need of a coat/gloves/hat, please let us know.
Donations
LSP is the home of the Spartan Closet. We are currently in need of gently used children's clothing, especially for warmer weather. If you or someone you know has some they would like to donate, they can drop off at the front office. We appreciate any support we can get to keep the Spartan Closet stocked for families.
Sick Student Procedures
A rule of thumb to follow is 'students must be free of fever/diarrhea/vomiting for 24 hours (without medication) before returning to school.' Please be sure to call the office to report any absences.
Bookmobile/Fayette County Public Library
This year we have partnered with the Fayette County Public Library. The bookmobile will be visiting LSP one to two times each month.. The bookmobile's March visit will be Thursday, March 13. 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.
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). If your phone number changes for any reason, please notify the office so we can update our system!
