Message from Administration
It was amazing and beautiful to see our Lisbon community come together and celebrate our 4th and 5th grade musicians. Thank you to the incredible Mr. Carter and Mrs. Trueblood for their outstanding leadership of our 4th and 5th grade band members, chorus, and hand bells choir! Our students did a beautiful job last night at their concert!
It’s hard to believe that Memorial Day weekend is here! Each school year seems to go by faster than the one before! We still have so much to do and celebrate in the last three weeks of school. Please be sure to read all school messages and emails to stay informed about what’s happening at LES during this busy time of year. We look forward to finishing strong!
Warmly,
Mrs. Debra Anoff, Principal
Mr. Bradley Scobie, Assistant Principal

Did You Move? Are You Moving?
According to HCPSS Policy 9000 - Student Residency, Eligibility, Enrollment, and Assignment, "A student attending a public school in Howard County will attend the designated school serving the school attendance area in which the parents have bona fide residence."
If you have moved or are moving soon, please notify us immediately. Please do not wait for us to find out through other means. We can assist you with transitioning to your child's new school. Whether it be another HCPSS school, a private school, or a school out of the HCPSS district, we are here to help. If you are transferring to another HCPSS school, our registrars will partner to make the transition as smooth as possible.
If you have an address change, please fill out the attached fillable Address Change Form below and email it back to us with your new deed or lease. This way, we can electronically verify your school district and update your new address on file. If you have any questions, contact our registrar, Mrs. Linda Drews at linda_drews@hcpss.org
It is very important for us to have the most accurate information about your residency.
Medication Pick-up
If your student has medication at school, it will need to be picked up by the end of the school year by a parent/guardian. Health room staff will be available during school hours (8:40am to 4pm) for medication pick up (except on June 5th and 14th, medication pick up will be between 8:40am and 1pm.) Any medication that is not picked up by 1pm on June 14th will be destroyed.If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the health room at 410-313-5555.
Medication order forms for the 2024-25 school year will be sent home. Please remember they need to be completed after July 1st for the 2024-25 school year. Below is the link for HCPSS medication information at school and links for the forms if needed.

Meals will be served only on days schools are open and there will be no meal service Thursday, July 4.

Information Worth Repeating
2024-2025 Bus Service Registration
Parents/guardians whose children are eligible for bus transportation are asked to register to receive bus service each year to help the school system plan for student transportation needs. The transportation registration process will open at 9 a.m. Monday, April 8 through May 31, and will be completed online via HCPSS Connect Synergy. Registration must be done for each eligible child.
To be eligible for bus service, your child’s home address must be outside of a school’s walk zones. You can verify address eligibility in the HCPSS School Attendance Area Locator. After inputting your address, a window will appear that will indicate either bus or walk for each school level. Please note, the attendance area locator also includes a link for the bus stop locator, which is set for the current school year. Bus stop information for the 2024-2025 school year will be available in August.
You do not need to take any action if:
- Your child is not eligible for bus transportation
- Your child receives transportation as part of their Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan, or
- Your child is a graduating senior
Details on bus transportation registration, including a guide to register and scenarios families may see when registering, can be found online.
