For families using the front driveway Drop and Go (Eldoardo Lane driveway) for morning arrival, please help us keep everyone safe and moving by:

Having everything ready for arrival before leaving for school (backpacks, lunch bags, coats, etc.)

• Pulling forward as far as you can before unloading (up to dumpster area)
• Avoid using the first few parking stalls which are part of the unloading area
• Stopping and having student(s) unload from the passenger side
• Drivers remain in vehicle
• Saying goodbye right before stopping
• Departing as soon as possible

If you would like to walk your student to the doors or have to get items for your student, please use a parking stall or legal street parking rather the Drop and Go.

If you are walking your student(s) to the door and need to cross the Drop and Go, please wait for vehicles to stop before safely crossing.

All asphalt at Louis Wiener, Jr. Elementary School is being replaced. Some delays were experienced this week due to weather impacts, but the project is back on schedule. This project is disrupting some operations around campus depending on which phase of the project is active.

For the upcoming week (Week of 9/4/2023), there are planned closures around the Small/Pre-K Playground and the Battista parking lots.

Dismissal for students being picked up will return to their regular locations, STARTING ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2023.

For those who pick up at the Small Gate by the Pre-K Playground, dismissal on 9/5/2023 (and possibly additional days - will be communicated) will be at the FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

• Kindergarten - NO CHANGE (Small Mardon Gate by Trees)
• Grades 1 & 2 - RETURN TO MARDON GATE BY BASKETBALL COURTS
• Grades 3/4/5 - REMAIN AT SOUTH BERMUDA GATES (Close to Portables)

Based on construction activity, we may hold indoor recess rather than outdoor recess.

At LWJES, we expect students to resolve conflicts with their peers in a safe and productive way. Students are not to solve problems at school by hitting, pushing, kicking, or using negative language. We encourage students to use Kelso's Choices and to resolve conflicts by talking it out using "I statements" with each other. If students have a big problem or a small problem they are not able to solve, they are to seek help from an adult.

For the week ending September 1, 2023, student attendance rates were:

• Pre-K: 90.9%
• Kinder: 84.8%
• Grade 1: 91.6%
• Grade 2: 88.3%
• Grade 3: 91.4%
• Grade 4: 86.1%
• Grade 5: 90.5%

• Whole School: 89.2%

Regular school attendance is critical for student learning and achievement. Avoidable absences negatively impact a student's progress, and we appreciate families getting students to school on time each and every school day!

Students with certain numbers of absences, whether excused or unexcused, will begin receiving attendance notification letters. Please review the information and reach out to the Counselor or Safe Schools Professional for more information about school attendance.
