Dear LJPS Families,
Thank you for a fantastic first day of school! The students and teachers are off to a wonderful start, and we are already seeing sparks of magic happening in classrooms and hallways. We truly appreciate your partnership in making this a smooth and successful beginning to the year.
As we pivot and refine procedures, here are a few important reminders and updates:
Morning Drop-Off – Single Point of Entry
At 7:30 a.m., the far left door at the front of the building will open for entry. Students will go directly to the café to wait until they are released to their classrooms.
At 7:40 a.m., the left door will close, and all students will enter through the main doors.
Upon entry, students may either:
Go to the café for breakfast (if that is the plan you’ve discussed with them), or
Report directly to their classrooms.
We are working on ways to reduce congestion at the front of the building and appreciate your patience as we fine-tune this process.
Parking & Traffic Flow
Please do not park in neighboring business lots or block traffic during drop-off. This ensures safety for all and maintains positive relationships with our neighbors.
Schoolwide Communication
We are no longer using ClassDojo. Our new communication tool is Apptegy.
We are currently working through some initial technical updates and data imports from outside sources.
In the meantime, email will be the best way to communicate directly with your child’s teacher.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your support, flexibility, and enthusiasm—it’s going to be a great year!
Warm regards,
Cathy Dewrell
