Survery Feedback
LSR7 parents have two opportunities to give feedback to the district:
Culture and Climate Survey for Caregivers (Now - Oct. 30): Provide feedback on your student’s experience. This feedback is seen at the district and building level.
Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP) Survey (Now - Oct. 22): Feedback is used to create the next three year plan for the district. There is also an opportunity at the end of the survey to express interest in participating in the committee that creates the CSIP.
We encourage you to take both surveys. In total, they will take about ten minutes to complete.
PTA Member Spotlight: October
Name: Rhiannon Moore
Parent/Family: Rhiley (4th), Jaxon (1st)
PTA Role: VP1
Why I joined PTA: To help build a strong, supportive community and be more involved in my children’s educational and social/developmental experiences.
Favorite part of being involved: Spending some extra quality time with my kiddos at school events while they’re still young enough to be excited about me hanging around. It’s also great to get to know their friends and see them all growing and learning!
Favorite school event: Bingo for Books
Fun fact: I’ve always loved animals and have had all kinds of pets but currently keep from acquiring any more by volunteering with KC Pet Project.

HPE Playground Closure-Before and After School Hours
At this time, the HPE playground is closed before and after school hours. Unfortunately, due to vandalism over the past year, we are closing the playground during these times in order to help keep it clean, safe, and ready for our students. The playground gates will be locked during these hours. Please help us by encouraging your child to NOT attempt to jump or climb the fence to access the playground.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep our HPE playground a safe and welcoming space for all of our students. Thank you for helping us take care of our school!
MakerSpace Sign Up
We would love your help! If you are interested in volunteering in our MakerSpace room and helping our students explore, create, and learn, please sign up using the link below!
Securly Information-Helping Students Build Healthy Technology Habits
Families have access to tools that can help support healthy technology habits at home. With Securly, parents/guardians can view the websites their student has visited, set guidelines for which websites can and cannot be accessed, and establish a bedtime or device-free time.
These tools can be especially helpful for families who are working to establish healthy boundaries around technology and screen time. We encourage families to explore these options and find routines that work best for their children. Creating consistent expectations at home can help students develop responsible and healthy digital habits.
Check out the Securly info video for more information!
