Dear Families,
We have had two eventful weeks at Lansing Elementary School as students have learned about procedures and expectations, and started working on academic content. We have also started our fall benchmark screeners for reading and math. This allows us to determine how to best support our students. Thank you to all families who attended our Back to School events this last week. If you were not able to attend, please check backpacks for important information.
A few reminders:
Safety: We have implemented increased security measures. Parents/guardians will not be allowed to enter the building during arrival or dismissal. Parents needing access during the school day will need to call or use the walkie-talkie at the entrance. Anyone needing assistance encouraging a student to come into the building should park in a parking space and call 913-727-1128. If you need to pick up your child before the end of the school day, please call ahead and have your identification ready. The number to call is 913-727-1128. Please remain in your vehicle during arrival and dismissal, except when buckling/unbuckling. Please also move car seats, so students are exiting curb-side.
Attendance- Please call us at 913-727-1128 in the event your student will not be at school, will be in to school late, or needs to leave early. This allows us to accurately record attendance.
Traffic: Thank you for following our traffic patterns. Kindergarten car rider parents, if you can add your teacher's name to your yellow tag that will assist us at car rider dismissal.
Going Home: Please remember to call in any ride changes before 3 PM. The number to call is 913-727-1128.
