Picture Day Volunteers Needed!

We need volunteers to assist us with Picture Day on October 17. 

All volunteers will assist the teacher and photographer with matching the class lists with the correct student and picture envelope.  They will also assist the teacher with lining students up and making sure hair, shirts, and smiles are camera ready!  

All volunteers will receive a $15.00 voucher to use toward a picture packet.

Support Your Young Digital Learner

💻 Technology is a huge part of our everyday lives.  Our students use devices daily in school as a communication and creation tool and outside of school for fun, connection, and relaxation.  As a school-family partnership, it’s our shared responsibility to support our young Lions as they grow up in an increasingly digital world.  Teaching technology habits now will help our students make smart and safe decisions as they grow.

Curious to find out…

  • How we support digital citizens in school?
  • How to set limits for a healthy media balance at home?
  • How to set parental controls on your children’s devices?
  • How to check out and chat with your child about the games and apps they are using?

Come to the first PTA meeting of the year on Tuesday, October 8, at 6:00 p.m. in the London Towne library to learn about these digital citizenship topics from our Technology Specialist, Rachel Lanier.  Bring your questions and leave with ready-to-use resources!
