If a parent wishes to send treats to school for his/her child’s birthday celebration, that parent must notify the child’s teacher at least one week in advance. ALL food items must be store-bought and include a list of ingredients due to numerous food allergies.

If you would like daily or weekly updates on school attendance, lunch accounts, grades and school discipline then sign up through Harmony. Log in to Harmony and select the menu tab, scroll down to notifications profile, set your profile settings as desired, then save your updates.

Our grading practice allows students to reassess if they get below a 70% on an assessment. The teachers will reteach and offer a retest. The grade can be replaced up to a max score of 80%. If a student did not put forth effort, refused or rushed then they can be given an option to redo the assessment without reteaching occurring. We also enter a 50% as the lowest grade to make sure that scores are not deflated from one grade.

Over the next couple of weeks, students will continue learning about the first two components of our Eagle Pledge: Best Effort & Positive Attitude! Be sure to ask your child about the Eagle Pledge and how they incorporate those characteristics into their school day!

Vaccination records are due to the school at this time. Please send in any vaccination records if you have not already done so. Students must still comply with Indiana State Vaccine requirements. Call or email Cassie Gustin RN with any questions at 812-952- 2555 ext 205 or gustinc@lanesville.k12.in.us. If your student has any medications that they will need to take at school (this includes Ibuprofen or Tylenol), please send in a med form for each medication. Each student will need their own supply of meds for school to leave in the health office. The medication form is attached. Please let me know if you have any questions.

We are running low on clothes and undergarments for students who have accidents, spills, etc.. If K-3 students could have a change of clothes in their backpack it would be helpful. We could use donations of solid color pants and new packages of underwear.
