Happy Sunday! We are ready for a great week. Please be sure that your student is at school unless they are sick. Please return doctor's notes when they return to school. Attendance is important and students who miss more than 10 unexcused days will not be promoted to the next grade. You can check your child's attendance on PowerSchool. We need your help to help students grow. Students who have good attendance do better than students who miss too often. Thank you for being sure your child is here and ready to learn and grow each day. It's a great week to be a Bronco!

Parents, in the mornings, we have cars waiting in line starting at 6:30. IN the afternoon, some are still lining up too early. This is causing big issues because the line can't move until 7:30 when we start unloading and when we start loading in the PM. We can't have cars in line creating a back up when we aren't even starting to unload/load. This is the cause of the line backing up to the road. If you get in line when the cars are moving it's safer for everyone. You will not be allowed to get in line until 7:00 AM so please help us. PM, please follow the times for your car load. Another way car rider parents can help is to move up and don't leave the 2 driveways open. The signs say yield to buses but I'm going to get them changed to say-STOP if you see a bus that needs to get out. Pull up and only STOP when you see a bus. This helps to keep the car line off the road. Thank you for your cooperation to keep everyone safe.

Parents, we are seeing students lose their cafeteria money and this causes problems. PLEASE use the online payment to put money in your child's account. This is much easier!

All LPPS students receive free breakfast and lunch. For students eating lunch in the cafeteria, there are extra items for purchase. Ice cream is sold on Fridays. (Not Pre-K) Parents are encouraged to add money to your child's account for these extra items. If your child uses cash, please know that change is not given and the money goes into their account. However, online is preferred for elementary students as they often lose cash. Click the link below to set up your student's account and add money to it. Cash can ONLY be used for extra cafeteria sales but online is highly preferred.

Parents, please be aware that this is in place if conditions warrant a late start.
