Dear LP Families,

I first want to thank our amazing PTA and all of our family volunteers for the beautiful breakfast you hosted for our staff this week! It was such a great way to start our year; we very much felt appreciated and supported. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have such a great feeling about this school year, especially since I am beyond thrilled to share that LP is officially a Community School! This means we’re embracing a powerful strategy that brings together school and community resources to support every child—academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. Our goal is to offer programs and services that meet basic needs, support daily living, and enrich the lives of our students and families. We’re committed to building strong, inclusive partnerships between school, home, and the wider community. We could not do any of this work without our new Community Schools Coordinator, Liz Knapp. Keep scrolling to learn a little bit more about the different ways Liz and LP can support your family. More to come!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dr. Bello

Visitor Check-in!

We’re excited to share an update on our new mobile kiosks for visitor check-in across the district. These kiosks are designed to make the process faster and more secure for everyone entering our buildings.

To make check-in even easier, we encourage parents, guardians, and other visitors to download the Raptor Safe app on their mobile devices. This app allows users to:

· Scan their ID

· Take a selfie photo

· Generate a QR code for future visits

Once set up, visitors can simply open the app, swipe up to find their QR code, and scan it at the mobile kiosk. This will automatically print a badge using the photo on your license. If you plan to visit more than once this school year, we highly recommend downloading the app—it takes only a few minutes to set up and eliminates the need to scan your license and take a photo each time.

We’ve also implemented safety alerts. If someone flagged as not allowed entry attempts to check in, our main office staff and district safety personnel will be notified. In rare cases, false positives may occur. If this happens, staff may ask to scan your license at the front desk for further verification.

To help you get started, we’ve included: ·

Feel free to share this information with other family members or caregivers who may be visiting the school.

Thank you for helping us keep our schools safe and efficient!
