Dear Los Pen Families,
What a wonderfully rainy week it has been! Although our Friday Flag assembly was canceled this morning, we were able to announce our Character Counts awards winners, our Running Club winners for January and February, and two outstanding classes for attendance. Congratulations to Mrs. Kinsey's Jayhawks for highest attendance and Mrs. Wolf's Razorbacks for most improved attendance.
You may have noticed some additional safety practices for our morning arrival. These new practices are helping to ensure that students are dropped off safely at the curb as close to the MPR as possible, as well as improve the flow of vehicles. Thank you for your cooperation and patience with the new practices. We are happy to report that thus far, these practices have helped us improve both the safety and the speed of the arrival traffic.
Remember, Continuing Registration is open now! We want to see our students back next school year! Please see the Continuing Registration information below.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Weekes
Online Continuing Student Registration will be open until March 31, 2025. We MUST receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2025-2026 school year. This annual digital process allows a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
Continuing Registration Steps:
Login and complete the digital registration packet via the online registration portal found here.
Review and complete any required forms located at the conclusion of the process. A packet is not considered finalized until this step is completed.
Please note: MEDICATION FORMS or ADDITIONAL SIGNED SITE SPECIFIC FORMS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED UNTIL SCHOOL BEGINS IN AUGUST FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR.
