Lansing Elementary Weekly Update
Newsletter for the Lansing Elementary School Family
May 4, 2024
Dear Families,
We were busy this week with several activities and events. We started our spring Fastbridge benchmark testing, which will allow us to see the gains our students have made this year. We also had our second grade music programs on Wednesday night and late start PLC collaboration time on Thursday morning. We had our Inclusive Playground meeting Thursday after school and Friday we had no school for students while staff was attending training.
This week we are celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to our wonderful PTA for facilitating daily treats for our awesome teachers! We also have scheduled field days. Please see our calendar below for specific grade level field days. We will also have our district late start on Thursday.
Our Site Council is facilitating the pre-ordering of school supplies for the 24-25 school year. We will share this information soon!
A few reminders:
We are looking for families who are interested in being part of a gardening group. For more information, or to sign up, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/2m6HLskdJekYxbpUA
Our family class placement feedback form is now available. If you would like to provide input for your student's class placement, please complete this link by May 15th: https://forms.gle/TQGR3qpZRkkuWcJf8
If you have a student who will start kindergarten in August, please take a few minutes to complete our Ages & Stages Questionnaires. Ages & Stages 2: https://www.asqonline.com/family/edf88c AND Ages & Stages 3: https://www.asqonline.com/family/beaaa6 These questionnaires help us identify any students who may need additional supports as they transition into kindergarten.
Family Events & PTA: Our next Parent-Teacher Association meeting is May 9th. Please notice the date change! Doors open at 6:00 and the meeting starts at 6:30pm.
Have a wonderful week!
