 For the second year, Lenski will be using a paperless format for our student directory! You can access the directory either online or through a free app that is available for download to your Smartphone, making the directory accessible anytime and "on the go!"
To gather the information needed for our directory, an online form has been made available on the Lenski website. Even if you were in the directory last year, we need you to re-enter your information for the new directory.
DirectorySpot, considered safe and secure, will collect the information and put together our online directory. If you would like more information on the security features, please feel free to visit www.directoryspot.net and click on the "Why use us" tab.
The deadline for collecting the information is October 16, 2015. Anyone who has not updated their information prior to October 16 will be deleted from the current system.
*Please note that by completing this form, you are giving Lenski Elementary permission to include your family contact information in our online directory.

Meet Leslie Suh, PTO Hospitality Co-Lead
|
Hello! My name is Leslie Suh and I am excited to be co-chairing the Hospitality Committee this year with Sarah Franklin. My husband, Ben, and I have three kids; our oldest is a 1st grader at Lenski. I was a room parent last year while my son was in Kindergarten and really enjoyed getting to know his teacher, as well as the other parents in the class. Hospitality seemed like a great fit for me, as I'm still navigating all that Lenski has to offer in terms of volunteer opportunities! Sarah and I are looking forward to continuing many of the great traditions that Lenski has for its families, teachers, and staff. If you are looking for a fun and simple way to contribute to Lenski's wonderful staff but aren't sure where to start, Sarah and I would love to chat with you about how you can help the Hospitality Committee!
