Week 2 ✅

Week 2 was a success! We’re officially settling into our routines. It’s been great to see the growth and confidence from our students and staff. We're still fine-tuning, but each day things are running more smoothly.

Thank you for your flexibility as we continue to find our rhythm. Enjoy the long weekend!

Morning Drop-Off

We are still having some parents park in the north staff parking lot and walking their children to the front of the building for drop-off in the morning.

If you are dropping your student off, please follow the procedures we have in place and use the designated drop-off area. We understand the line can be long, but it is long for everyone. If you or your student has a specific need that warrants a different drop-off location, please contact the office.

Thank you for your cooperation with this.

Reminders

Doors Open: 8:47
School Starts: 8:57
Dismissal: 3:45
Please be mindful of how early you are dropping students off. We do not have supervision outside prior to 8:47
If your child is home with a fever or vomiting, you must keep them home until they are fever free and/or vomiting free for 24 hours without medication

Dismissal

Parents should remain in their vehicles and have their child's number ready when arriving for pick-up.

For students in Kinderstart - 3rd grade, parent pick-up is at the front of the building ONLY. Please do not pick up students behind the school or at the north doors. The north doors are used for GSRP and ECSE ONLY. This procedure is in place to help ensure the safety of all students and families.

Parents picking up students from the transfer bus should first pick up their child from LES, then go to the designated area to wait.

Please review the attached maps to make sure you are following the proper procedures.

Walking/Biking to and From School

A.M. Arrival:

Students who walk/bike to school should enter through Door 4 at the back of the building. Door 4 will be supervised for the first five minutes of the morning, from 8:47–8:52 a.m. After 8:52 a.m., walkers/bikers will need to walk around the building to the front entrance.

P.M. Dismissal:

Students walking/biking after school will exit through the cafeteria doors and follow the designated path to 6th Avenue.

Marcos Pizza Night

The first Marco’s Pizza night for LES is Thursday, September 10th. Marco’s Pizza works with LES once a month to graciously give the class with the MOST items purchased a FREE pizza party at the end of the year. It’s easy - just tell your family and friends to place an order at Marco’s and tell them your student’s teacher’s name.

LEF "Pick an Apple"

If you're looking for ways to support our amazing teachers, Lakewood Educational Foundation wants to remind you to participate in their "Pick an Apple” initiative, where you can support a classroom with items - big or small. If you're interested, use the link below and take a moment to see if there's anything you can provide for our littlest learners.

Together, we grow.
