We do ask families to RSVP on the flyer that will be going home. If you do not receive the flyer, please let your child's teacher know. Everything is FREE! There will be prizes/games, popcorn, book walk, selfie booth, face painting, and a variety of community resources.

Don't be alarmed if you notice police presence at LSP! The Connersville Police Department and the Fayette County Sherriff's Department regularly visit to make sure our students and staff are safe. If there ever is an emergency, families will be notified via Powerschool Messenger, ClassDojo, and Social Media (Facebook/Twitter). If your phone number changes for any reason, please notify the office so we can update our system!
