PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE - MR. ALTIERI
I am so excited to kick off my second year as principal of Lansing Intermediate School. We spent a lot of time seeking feedback from parents, students, and staff last year and we are implementing policies and procedures that will continue to make our school a fun place to learn!
We just wrapped up the first two days of school last week which consisted of learning school and classroom rules and how to navigate around the building. Friday ended with Mr. Altieri getting a pie to the face after losing a basketball shooting challenge during our beginning of the year school assembly.
There are a few changes from the elementary school, so please remember we do not allow hats to be worn at school, hoodies may not be up while in school, and soda is not permitted in our cafeteria. We want to model healthy and respectful practices that students can take with them as they become young adults and beyond.
We are looking for parents to become part of our LIS Site Council team. The team meets once a quarter and we go over what is currently happening in our school and seek ways to continue improving the school experience for our students - including curriculum, facility improvements, and school events. If this interests you, please reach out to martin.altieri@usd469.net
If you are picking up your student after school, please have your sign with the student's name visible so we can move the line more quickly. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our newsletter and being involved in the lives of our students! It is going to be a grrrrr-eat school year!
