Student Drop Off Procedures
Parents, we get many drop offs throughout the day. Unfortunately, we do not have the staff capacity to hand deliver all of these items and it is disrupting to the learning of our students by having them come to retrieve items. As a reminder, we allow jackets and food (i.e. snacks and lunches) to be dropped off. Upon delivery, we are asking that you email your child’s teacher informing them of the item being dropped off and label the item with a sticky note. It will then be the responsibility of your child to come get the item once they are informed by their teacher. In addition, Kerrie Williams will always facilitate the delivery of medication to Nurse Kelly Spangler and eye glasses to students as these are immediate needs for students to have a successful day of learning. WE do not allow folders, homework, book bags, books, or water bottles to be dropped off. Your child will still be able have a safe day of learning without these items, so they can wait to be brought in the following day. Additionally, we do not allowing any DoorDash food deliveries to be made for our students. Thank you so much for helping us make these new procedures a success and for your flexibility and understanding!
Please be reminded that no outside food is permitted for birthday celebrations.

Community Outreach
The Lambert & South Vertical Teams encourage our students and their families to UNPLUG and set technology aside so that you can intentionally spend time together as a family once a month. We hope you find some dedicated time together on these nights to connect in a meaningful was as a family.
