Thank you for being so understanding this week as we faced the challenge of closing school due to the power outage. This was not how our staff wanted to begin the year. We will start fresh on Tuesday continuing to build those positive relationships and teach our school wide expectations. We have rescheduled our Open House Picnic/Curriculum Night and Book Fair please see more information below. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday. I hope everyone has their power back. We just got ours back yesterday afternoon.

To our Kindergarten Families: Our Kindergarten Teachers sent out updated information regarding class placement yesterday. Please check your emails for this message.

Enjoy the weekend.

The Loop (Highly Recommended) – The loop can be used for drop off or pick up. Students should remain in their cars until the car has come to a complete stop in the painted half circle area. Please do not let your child out of the car, or wave your child to your car, while you are in any other part of the loop area or driveway. Do not leave the loop area until the vehicle in front of you has left. Please remain alert and ready to move forward with traffic.

The Parking lot - The parking lot can be used for drop off or pick up. Your car should be parked in a parking spot and you will need to walk your child to and from the school doors. Your child should NEVER be in the parking lot without you at their side. The ONLY place that parking or sitting is permitted, is in a designated parking space. Parking anywhere else could prevent our buses from coming or going. (Using the loop is easier.)

Good Morning LPS Families,

We hope that summer has treated you and your family well!

Each year, we ask that all families complete the “Back to School Checklist” in Parent Connect. As we prepare for the new school year, it is important that we have current and reliable information posted in our Student Information System.

Please complete the “Back to School Checklist” in Parent Connect as your earliest convenience. This is the electronic version of the previous paper packet and “pink emergency cards.”

We are asking that you update your information in Parent Connect by clicking on the link called “Back to School Checklist” (located at the top of the screen in red) by August 19, 2024.

This is a requirement for all students. Please complete the updates for each student in your household.

As a reminder, you can access Parent Connect via the district website www.livoniapublicschools.org by clicking on the Parents tab. If you have trouble accessing your Parent Connect account, please send an email with your student’s name and the issue you are experiencing to parentconnect@livoniapublicschools.org.

We are excited to kick off the new school year on August 26! If you have any questions, please refer to the August issue of the district newsletter, the Dialog, which is LINKED HERE. The newsletter will also arrive in your home mailbox in the coming days.

Thank you and we can’t wait to welcome our students and staff back for another awesome school year!

Dear Parent,

Blessings in a Backpack-Livonia is an all-volunteer program designed to provide students who are in need, with enough food for three meals a day during the weekends. If you participate in this program, your child will receive a bag at the end of every week of school (Thursday or Friday), filled with non-perishable food for the weekend. There is no cost to you for participating in this program. No further information is required. Your information will not be shared. If you would like to have your child participate in this program, fill out and submit the form using the link below as soon as possible. We are requesting your name and email address, so that a confirmation of registration will be emailed to you. Delivery will begin the week of September 11th.

https://forms.gle/oifKHq56fSvQ4Pis8

Even if your child participated in the program last year, we do need a new enrollment form for this school year.

Currently, we are providing prepackaged bags, so we are unable to customize for allergies or religious dietary needs. We apologize for any inconvenience.

****You will need to complete a separate form for each child that you wish to enroll.****

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email us at biablivonia@gmail.com

The PTA is collecting your previously used grade level shirts in an effort to reduce and reuse! If you have a shirt from K-4 that your family is no longer using, please consider donating it back for another family to use! We will take the donate shirts at open-house for families to browse sizes and grades. We would love to have lots of variety, but please know it may be limited and a first come first serve basis. Thank you for your support!

You can drop your previously used grade level shirts off in the collection bin next to the office doors outside the school at anytime before the first day of school.
