The LaVorgna Lions' ROAR

We hope you all enjoyed your Summer Break! We are so excited to welcome back our students and staff!

Our first day of school is Wednesday August 14, 2024. We are committed at LES to our mission: "Learning for All, whatever it takes!"

Our Lions show their PRIDE by showing:

Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dreamers, Empathy

We know these character traits will develop in all our young Lions at LES this year! Please read through this newsletter for important information.

We are diligently working on building classes as enrollment changes each and every day. Our goal is to open the Infinite Campus Parent Portal on Monday, August 12th at 4:00 p.m. Parents can log into the portal after this in order to view their child's class assignment.

PLEASE NOTE: Student enrollment continues to fluctuate each day. Please know that we take class placement very seriously and consider many factors when placing students. We work to create balanced classes that will support all students. Many of our classrooms are balanced and changes in student assignments cannot be made at this time. We respectfully ask that parents give their child’s placement a couple of weeks while we see exactly what our numbers and classroom makeups contain. That being said, we will not be accepting parent requests for classroom changes at this time.

Thank you for your understanding. No changes will be made until after August 30th, based on availability.

Wednesday, August 14th

This is a modified day: 8:50am-12:55pm (see bell schedule for details).

On the FIRST DAY ONLY we will allow parents the opportunity to walk their children to their child's classroom. Once at the classroom, we ask that you say your goodbyes and then exit through the same gate you entered.

TK and Kindergarten Parents you will meet with the administrators in the MPR.

On Thursday, the second day of school, students will be dropped off at their grade level gates and walk to their classroom line-up areas without their parents.

STUDENTARRIVAL/DROP-OFF PROCEDURES

• No student entry prior to 8:40 a.m. (AM) or 10:25 a.m. (PM TK-K). Please do not drop off early as there will be no student supervision.

• For students with transportation services, the bus will enter campus in the loop that is near the 4th and 5th grade hallway, please do not use this loop, it has to be saved for buses only! Aides and teachers will meet students in specialized classes and walk them to their classroom.

• If students ride their bikes or scooters to school, they will park their wheels in the bike area closest to the gate they will exit at the end of the day so they can access it easily. Helmets are required.

• NO riding wheels on campus - please walk them once on campus

• Please leave your furry friends at home to wait for your child. There are no pets on campus.
