Dear LP Families,
Happy Friday! My only update for this week is that we started our first round of clubs here at LP:
*Art Club
*Drama Club
*Roller Skating Club
*Math Club
*Reading Club
*Yearbook Club
*Future Leaders of Tomorrow
*Intramurals
In total, we were able to provide an extracurricular activity to 181 students! Thanks to feedback we received from families last year, as well as listening to our students, this work supports our goals of increasing positive student engagement at LP. I remain incredibly thankful for all of our staff members who have stepped up to supervise these clubs/committees. We truly have the best of the best!
If your child was not selected for a club due to lack of space, we are working to plan another round of clubs. Communication will be sent home in the future.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Dr. Bello

Proposed improvements at Laurelton-Pardee Intermediate School include:
Renovate and air condition the gymnasium and areas necessary to meet state temperature law expected to go into effect this year.
Improve playground safety by adding barriers to the sides that border the street and driveway.
IT upgrades to the network closets to ensure the integrity of the network.
Parents/caregivers can attend our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Parent Information Night on November 20 at 6:00pm to learn more about what the district is doing to teach our students to use AI tools safely and responsibly. There will be a short presentation by our Director of Technology, Christine Osadciw and Instructional Technology Coach, Andy Cripps. Following that, parents and caregivers will be able to ask any questions they have, as well as talk with community partners we have invited to set up tables all centered around helping families keep students safe in both the online and physical world.
Please fill out this short form to let us know if you are interested in attending our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Parent Night and if you will need babysitting for your children:
