Hello, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope your winter break was a happy one. We are all VERY excited to have the kids back at school...and I'm guessing you may be just as glad to be sending them back to us! 😉
Winter Weather Procedures
Let's be ready for when winter weather comes our way! Please review our procedures below.
Remember, for the first snow/cold day, our three options are:
1. Regular day
2. Late start
3. Snow day, makeup on March 4 (Casimir Pulaski Day)
Once we use/get past Pulaski Day on the calendar, we do the best we can to switch to a virtual day should we need to close. PLEASE be ready for this just in case--it's a great idea to have a plan just in case we need to shift to virtual learning!
As always, I'll let you know any changes just as soon as I can!
Dress for the Weather!
We will go outside as long as it's safe to do so, so please send students dressed for the weather each day. If you need assistance getting winter clothing, please just reach out to your child's teacher and they will let us know so we can get you what you need! One team...all in!
Lotus Nurse
For now, we will have sub coverage for the Lotus Health Office. When a permanent assignment is made, I will inform you. Please see me with any questions.
Know Anyone Who...
If you know anyone who would be interested in being a Van Driver, Sub Van Driver, or Bus Driver, please have them apply using this link. We can TRAIN bus drivers ourselves if they don't have a CDL, and van drivers don't need the CDL!!!
Attendance Matters!!!!
PLEASE keep making sure your children come to school unless they are truly sick . If you need any help in getting your child to school, please reach out so we can help! Our attendance and absences are submitted to the state and factor into our school status. More importantly, a day missed is a day of lost learning!
Happy Monday, District 114!
Welcome back!! We hope everyone had a lovely winter break!
Mark your calendars for the first PTA meeting of the new year: Monday, January 13th at 6:00 pm in the Lotus library!
Along with regular updates, we'll be discussing the upcoming Family Fun Fair and our big fundraiser of the year: Day of Service! Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to be involved in the planning for both of these events.
Don't have anyone to watch your kiddos? Bring them with you! Members of the National Junior Honor Society from Stanton will be with us to keep them entertained while you get caught up on what's happening this month.
Can't join in person? Join us on Google Meets!
Don't forget to join our Facebook group to see the meeting highlights and more, and while you're at it, join the PTA here! Membership dues are only $6 for the whole year!
