Announcement Message
Dear Lafayette Families,
Happy Monday. I want to apologize again for the multiple confusing emails that you received on Sunday evening.
This Wednesday, October 20 at 7:00 PM, I will be holding a COVID Protocol and Communication virtual forum in order to clarify all of the procedures that apply to positive tests, close contacts and general notification memos. I hope to be able to answer all of your questions so that we can navigate the rest of the school year as smoothly as possible. I appreciate the partnership we have maintained so far and hope to strengthen it with more information. The link to the forum is here.
We are expecting rain this Wednesday. I wanted to let you know that on inclement weather days, we will be eating in the cafeteria. We will only allow four students per table with one grade level at a time eating. We will also have all windows and doors open for ventilation. This is our indoor eating procedure and I wanted to make sure you were all aware. We cannot make other arrangements within the school, but if you are uncomfortable with this practice, you can keep your child at home without it being an unexcused absence during inclement weather. You will need to notify the school if you choose this option.
There is a Lost and Found in the yard by the gate on 36th AVE. Please check through it for any lost belongings. Any items remaining in the Lost and Found will be donated in November.
We will be conducting an earthquake drill this Thursday, October 21 at 9:15 as part of the Big Shake Out. This drill will take place at 9:15 AM and it is part of our comprehensive emergency preparedness plan.
Today was the first day of our Spirit Week. We kicked it off with Hat Day. Tomorrow is Neon Day. The schedule for the rest of the week is linked here.
School Picture Day is this Friday. Anyone that is not present will have the opportunity to retake their pictures at a later date. We will let you know the make-up date as soon as we schedule it.
THIS IS A REPEATED ITEM FOR RAINY DAYS:
In the event of rain, we will still be operating our Stop, Drop and Go student dropoff program. Please utilize this program on rainy days if you are not already doing so. If you are walking with your children, please use the same entrance as the Stop, Drop and Go program or enter through the gates on 36th Ave, and walk your children to the ramp behind the play structure. They will then be led into the auditorium and find their respective class line inside. The class lines will be clearly marked with their teacher’s name and room number. If students arrive at 7:50 or after, they will go directly to their classrooms. Please remember not to enter the building, we will make sure they find their way.
During rainy day dismissal, we are asking you to prepare your children for wet and cool weather. They will wait to be picked up on the yard and will need rain gear. Since we will still be delivering your children to you on the yard, we will open the gates up early so that our children can be released directly to you quickly. If you need help acquiring appropriate rain gear, please let your classroom teacher know so we can help you in this regard.
All students attending after school programming will be dismissed directly to these programs including enrichment programs. Students riding buses will wait in the lobby outside of the auditorium.
It is important to make sure all of your emergency contact information is up to date on ParentVUE. Some of the numbers we try calling when we need to reach you do not work. It is also important to have other emergency contact numbers listed in case we cannot reach parents or guardians. Please log onto ParentVUE to check or complete the emergency cards online. This came up again during yesterday’s community messaging. Please make sure that you are registered in ParentVUE if you want to receive communication from school and access student information.
Thank you for all you do to support us.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Lafayette Admin Team
