 pupilcount

Pupil Enrollment Count
September 24 - October 8
During September 24 through October 8 Lenski will be conducting an attendance count for the Colorado Department of Education.  This count is used to determine per pupil funding for Lois Lenski Elementary School.  The official count day is October 1st.

Lenski does not want your child at school if they are ill, but would encourage you to avoid any non-illness absences such as vacations and appointments.  The office really would appreciate you having your children in attendance as much as possible these two weeks.  If you know it is necessary for your child to be out-of-town during this time period, please check with the office regarding any paperwork that may need to be completed by you.

 

Thank you for your support in ensuring an accurate reflection of our enrollment so that Lenski can receive the maximum funding to enable them to continue to improve education for your child.

Meet Mindy Wilson
Annual Giving Campaign Chair

 

  

Hello!  My name is Mindy Wilson and I am the Campaign Chair for this year's Annual Giving.  I have two children at Lenski, Logan in 3rd grade and Landon in kindergarten.   After searching high and low for the right school for our kids, my husband Lucas and I, feel so privileged to now be a part of Lenski.  As a result of Logan's two amazing years here, we decided that getting involved in our school community was something right for our family and I am excited to be this year's campaign chair.  Through the Annual Giving Campaign, I have been nothing short of amazed by the generosity and support of the families in our school.  In six short weeks, we have proven that banding together for a great cause will always be stronger than any one person alone.  On behalf of my family, I would like to thank the entire Lenski staff, our Superstar students, and all of the parents and families for making Lenski the very best of the best!  I look forward to a wonderful year and can't wait to see what great things we can accomplish as a Lenski community this year!

 

 

Thank you for your generosity! Still want to donate?  Click here!
