March 2, 2025
Hello Linsford families,
Thank you for your patience and support this week as we transitioned to a temporary situation without our beloved support staff.
The drop-off at the front door has gone exceptionally well, however, we must remind all families to ensure that we are mindful of the cross-walks and the bus lane to ensure student safety. Please don't drive through the bus lane between 8:20 and 8:30 am or 3:00 - 3:10 pm. We appreciate that there is limited parking, however, one of our crosswalks goes through the bus lane and the extra traffic during bus lane times has created some safety concerns. Thank you in advance for your support to ensure our students stay safe.
We have appreciated all the extra hands, kind words, and thoughtfulness while we sort things out. Thank you to all who have used the online attendance form. That has been super helpful to reduce the number of office phone calls in the morning. Please continue to use this form as soon as you know about your child's absence.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles
LPS Admin Team
