Leaving Early?
- Help us ease front office congestion! Pick your student up from school by 2 p.m., especially on Fridays.
- Minimizing commotion the last 1/2 hour of the day helps us meet safety protocols.
- Is your student leaving early? Notify our front office staff (816.986.2250 or heather.wathan@lsr7.net) by Noon.
We'll inform necessary parties, and prepare your student to exit efficiently when you visit.
