Understanding Grades

Grades will be posted to your Family Portal account on Friday, December 20th.

Lost and Found

Just a reminder that our lost and found area will be cleared out on Friday, December 20th. Please stop by in the next week to check for any items your student may have misplaced. Items with names will be returned to the student. All other items remaining at the end of the day on December 20th will be donated.

From the Counselor

Dear Lenski families,

I have been the school counselor at Lenski for the past 2.5 years. As some of you know, I am also a new mom of a 1.5 year old little girl. Finding work/life balance has been very hard, as I am sure many parents can relate to. After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to leave my position as Lenski’s school counselor to focus on being a mom. My last day will be on Friday, December 20th. This decision was not made lightly, but it is what is best for my family at this time.

I have loved my time at Lenki and I will miss working with the staff, students and families. Lenski is a special place, and I am so grateful to have been a part of this amazing community.

Dr. Slattery, Ms. Lessmann, and Mrs. Baez, our school psychologist, will help support students through this transition. Although I will not be at Lenski any longer, what will not change is the fact that your child will always have the opportunity to talk to a safe, caring person at school. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.

With much love,

Shannon Ritchey
