Mark your calendar to attend one of these parent meetings!  LPS Superintendent Brian Ewert will be sharing important information about the district's vision for improving student learning through Professional Learning Communities.  He will share emerging ideas of how to adjust instructional time to provide more opportunities for professional collaboration.  More information is available on the LPS website.

Also covered will be a proposal on adjusting start times for 2017-2018 to have Elementary School start earlier and Middle Schools and High Schools start later.

Superintendent Ewert would like to hear your thoughts!  Parents and community members are welcome to attend the meetings at ANY school.  His slideshow is attached here.  Here are the remaining meetings:

This year, Lois Lenski will be using a program called PTCFast.com to schedule all of our parent-teacher conferences.  This system allows the parent/guardian to select the teacher(s) with whom he/she would like to conference with by registering an email address and selecting a desired conference time(s).  Please see below for some frequently asked questions about this process.

Q.  Where do I go to schedule my child's conference?
A.  Please click the link on the PTCFast Lois Lenski Home Page which will contain a list of Lois Lenski teachers. This link is available to use now for scheduling.
Q.  What if I need to schedule multiple conferences (more than one child at Lois Lenski)?
A.  If you have more than one child for whom you need to schedule, you should select (check) all teachers with whom you need to conference from the list of available teachers.  You will then be prompted to enter the children's names for the corresponding teachers.  When that is done you can proceed with registering your email address.  You will receive a link via email to access to view the teachers' schedules.  You will see all selected schedules at one time!
Q.  I registered my name and my email but have not received the link to set up my time.
A.  If you have not received the confirmation email within about an hour, we suggest you check your spam filter to see if it has put the email in a folder (typically called JUNK or SPAM).
Q.  What happens if I realize I cannot make the scheduled time and need to delete or reschedule my conference?
A.  If you need to remove or change your appointment, please locate the email you received after scheduling titled "Appointment Confirmation for your Parent/Teacher Conference".  Inside this email you can click on the specific appointment.  It will take you to the scheduling page, where you can select "Remove Appointment" from the top of the screen.
Q.  Will I be reminded of my conference from PTC Fast?
A.  You will receive a confirmation email indicating that you have scheduled the conference and a reminder email 2 days before the conference date.  Teachers may elect to send out additional reminders as needed.
Q.  I am concerned about providing my email address to PTC Fast?  What is their privacy policy?
A.  See the following link from PTC Fast regarding their Privacy Policy: Q.  I went to the PTCFast web site, http://www.PTCfast.com, and I went to the Parent Signin page , but I do not have a code for my child.
A.  When you follow the Lois Lenski link and register your email address for the conference, PTC FAST sends an email (from Admin) with a link for scheduling. Another link and a parent code are provided for making changes to already scheduled conferences or for logging in to the site if the scheduling link does not work for some reason.  Please use these links for making changes to your conference appointments

If you cannot find a time that works for you please contact the teacher to make arrangements for your conference.  Thank you.

In an effort to keep children safe when coming to school please keep in mind the following in support of these efforts:

• Drop off in a single file lane
• When loading and unloading, be sure to pull over to the right drop off lane and stay in a single drop-off lane to ensure students are not crossing in front of other vehicles. Do not park anywhere on the left side of the circle drive.
• Do not pull up next to another vehicle to drop off.
• Your child may get out of the car on the right anywhere along the fence and head into school.
• After your child has exited the car, you are welcome to safely pull around the car in front of you to slowly and cautiously exit the parking lot.
• As you are exiting, please keep in mind that there is a crosswalk where children may be crossing to enter the school. STOP to check for any pedestrian before you proceed.
• If you are dropping your child on a day when they have a large project or anything that requires you to assist them, we ask that you park in the PARKING LOT to help your child and then they can use the crosswalk to go into school.
• There is no drop off beyond the crosswalk. Beyond the cross-walk is designated for BUSES ONLY.

Please use the guidelines to expedite the drop off process and help to keep children safe during the morning drop off. We appreciate your support.

Sincerely,
Barbara DeSpain, Principal
Lenski Office Staff

Parents, please remember that school staff may NOT administer any kind of medication to your child without written permission from you AND your doctor. This includes medications such as cough drops, Advil and Tylenol.  If you would like medication, either over the counter or prescription, available for your student to use at school please complete the form found here.

If children must receive medication during the school day, it must be given by a registered nurse or someone under the direction and supervision of the nurse.  The State Board of Nursing requires certain procedures be adhered to when a child must take medication at school, whether it is prescription or nonprescription medication.
