Annual Family Update
Must Complete Prior to August 18
|
Every LPS family must complete the district 2016/2017 Check-In / Registration process through Infinite Campus. To complete this step, a parent from the Primary Household must log into the Campus Portal, and then go to the Inbox where there is a Family Check-In message.
Parents will verify, update or complete information about every member of their household including students at other LPS schools (if applicable). This means parents can complete registration for all their children at one time. Parents will also complete a series of permissions (media release, field trip permission, military release, etc.) and provide information traditionally listed on a student's emergency card (physician, emergency contacts, health issues, etc.).
For more information, please click here.

Lenski Traffic Procedures for Morning Drop Off
|
You may have noticed an increased presence of volunteers and staff at Lenski while dropping students off in the circle drive in the morning. In an effort to keep children safe when coming to school please keep in mind the following in support of these efforts: 
- Drop off in a single file lane
- When loading and unloading, be sure to pull over to the right drop off lane and stay in a single drop-off lane to ensure students are not crossing in front of other vehicles. Do not park anywhere on the left side of the circle drive.
- Do not pull up next to another vehicle to drop off.
- Your child may get out of the car on the right anywhere along the fence and head into school.
- After your child has exited the car, you are welcome to safely pull around the car in front of you to slowly and cautiously exit the parking lot.
- As you are exiting, please keep in mind that there is a crosswalk where children may be crossing to enter the school. STOP to check for any pedestrian before you proceed.
- If you are dropping your child on a day when they have a large project or anything that requires you to assist them, we ask that you park in the PARKING LOT to help your child and then they can use the crosswalk to go into school.
- There is no drop off beyond the crosswalk. Beyond the cross-walk is designated for BUSES ONLY.
Please use the guidelines to expedite the drop off process and help to keep children safe during the morning drop off. We appreciate your support.
Sincerely,
Barbara DeSpain, Principal
Lenski Office Staff

Become a Lenski Room Parent!
|
Being a room parent is a GREAT way to be involved in your child's classroom with minimal commitment of in-class volunteer time. Much of the planning and coordination can happen on your own time as your schedule permits. A room parent's responsibilities include planning the fall festival party, coordinating optional teacher gifts before winter break and at year-end, and assisting the PTO with teacher appreciation week in the spring. Whether you are a first time room parent or a veteran room parent, we need your help and would love for you to be involved this year!
More details on each of these activities will be shared with the selected room parents at the room parent orientation meeting in September. There will be two room parents for each classroom so you can share the fun (and the responsibility) with another parent in your class! If you're interested in being a room parent for this year, please sign-up here by September 1st.

On Your Mark, Get Set, Reload!
|
Many of you have brand-spankin'-new Reloadable Grocery Cards to try out! We welcome the new families and Kindergarten families to Lenski with a gift: a fresh King Soopers card, pre-loaded with $2.50. Safeway cards are also available to order if that is your preferred market. We invite you to take a minute, sip a coffee (on us!), and learn about this automatic 5% cash back fundraiser. As you know, it costs you nothing!
Order your reloadable grocery cards here. Questions? Contact Sandy Schwedt.
Please note that if your card has a zero balance and has been inactive for 90 days, you will need to buy a new card at face value. Thanks!

Streets of Southglenn - Start Saving Those Receipts!
|
Do you ever visit Streets of SouthGlenn? You can help Lenski earn money by saving your receipts and earning Lenski points that turn into money for our school! To learn more about the Streets at SouthGlenn program, click here.
Simply shop and log your Streets of SouthGlenn receipts! Beginning Monday, August 15th, keep your original receipts from all stores and restaurants and turn them in to help Lenski earn money! Receipts must be dated between August 15, 2016 and April 30, 2017. Turn your receipts in to the bin on the table in the front lobby at school or in the Lenski slot near guest services at SouthGlenn. Electronic receipts can be logged on the Street Smarts website here. Every dollar earns 5 points, so turn in even the smallest dollar receipt to help out.
The money Lenski wins is used to purchase gift cards that will be raffled off at different fundraisers to earn even more money for our kids! Thanks to all that shop and turn in receipts!
Questions? Feel free to contact Jan McElhiney.
