From the Desk of Mrs. Weekes
Dear Los Pen Families,
This week we recognized Red Ribbon Week, the nation's largest and longest-running drug-use prevention campaign. Students dressed for theme days and pledged to make healthy choices as individuals and as classrooms. Check out some of the creatively decorated classroom doors below.
Enjoy your weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Weekes
Arrival & Dismissal Reminders
For the continued safety of LPES students and staff, please review some notes about arrival and dismissal procedures:

- The LPES parking lot is for PUSD EMPLOYEES ONLY between 7:30 AM and 3:05 PM. If you would like to park your vehicle and walk your student onto campus for drop-off, please utilize street parking.
- There is ONE drop-off/pick-up lane. Students should not be dropped off or picked up in the middle of the street between the parking stalls and the drop-off/pick-up lane.
We appreciate your cooperation and attention to these procedures.
