Dear Families,
We had a great week! On Thursday, we had our first late start Thursday and first, monthly, PTA evening meeting. This week, and for the rest of the year, we will also have late start on Thursdays. This means that our building will not open for students until 9:00 on Thursdays. We have free Y-care on Late Start Thursdays offered through our community for students in grades K-5. Any family needing care on Thursdays from 8:00-9:00 can receive this by filling out the Y-care Late Start Thursday form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1d8NM6GOrddsZNjyqOSeDaLY2cleH1FTlGxxh0HX-w9I/viewform?edit_requested=true
We are still looking for parents and guardians who may be interested in joining our Lansing Elementary Site Council. Site Council is an advisory group that assists our school by providing advice and council around meeting performance goals and provides feedback and support. We meet once a month. The first meeting is September 26th @ 4:00-5:00 in the library and child care is also provided. Meetings will be the last instructional Thursday of each month. If you are interested in being a part of our site council, please apply here: https://forms.gle/YzzhPvberKfAP5BPA
We have a free opportunity for parents and guardians to receive information about behavior intervention support teams or BIST. This is the behavior intervention program we use in the Lansing School District kindergarten-eight grade. There are also parts that many families find useful for behaviors at home. BIST is a part of Cornerstones of Care. There are three sessions and they begin on Thursday, September 19th. These sessions are on zoom and families are asked to register ahead of time. Please see more information below.
