From the desk of Sr. Kucinski
I hope this message finds you well! The colder weather is upon us, and that means Winter clothing. I can't stress this enough, but please be certain your child's name is on every piece of Winter clothing. Each year our lost and found acquires hundreds of mittens, hats, and even coats.
You should have received an email earlier this week to sign up for parent / teacher conferences coming up in November. We look forward to having this valuable time to share student progress, set goals, and discuss any questions or concerns. Fostering and nurturing the relationship of home and school is essential for a strong foundation of learning and growing over the school year. I look forward to seeing many of you at conferences!
I want to once again thank the numerous parent volunteers that come to support LODL each day. The involvement of any level of support is always appreciated. It's hard to believe that we are nearly through the first quarter of the school year as we usher in November!
I am always happy to hear from families! I can be reached anytime at 952-226-0303 or rkucinski@plsas.org.
In partnership,
Richie Kucinski, Principal
WAVES WINNERS!
STUDENT OF THE MONTH!
We are so excited to celebrate students and classes that are showing WAVES at LODL! Each month teachers will select a Student of the Month to showcase a student who goes above and beyond to show that they are a Worker, Accountable, Value Everyone and are Safe in their classrooms. They will be announced at our monthly All School Meetings, given an award, and a gift certificate for a free meal at Cane's. Additionally, our specialists will also be picking a Class of the Month! The winning classes will be announced at our All School Meetings, given an award and a popcorn party.
Thank you!
LODL ALL SCHOOL MEETING TODAY!

From the Dean: Attendance Matters
We have had a great start to the 2023-24 school year and we want to continue to support students and families with school attendance. In connection with our attendance policy, the attendance team regularly reviews attendance, and sends home letters quarterly to any student who has missed 10% or more of school.
Being proactive with attendance and supporting families is a priority at La ola del lago. At this point if your student(s) has missed 5 or more days of school that equals 10% of their year and you will be receiving a letter in mail in the next couple of weeks. We understand that some absences may be connected to vacation or illness, but this still attributes to the total amount of days missed. The purpose of the attendance letters is to communicate and inform.
We are here to support you to solve any problems, barriers, or concerns you - or your student(s) may have when it comes to attendance.
SIGN UP FOR A CONFERENCE WITH YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER
Specialist's will also be available during these hours to meet.
