What to Expect the First Day

These procedures are based on the 2024-2025 protocols. Please note procedures are subject to change according to LTISD policy.

Morning Arrival:

• You may walk your child to his/her teacher in the outdoor classroom on the first day. The following days your child will independently walk to his/her classroom. We will have teachers at the side gate to direct students. If you are dropping off in the morning, please be sure to use the lower lot to drop off your Kindergarten student.
• Exterior doors will be unlocked at 7:20 AM daily. Students who are car riders, let themselves out of the car on the side next to the curb. School starts promptly at 7:40 AM.
• “Tears and Cheers” will be held on the first day of school in the cafeteria at 7:45 AM with our school administration Team and PTO Board Members. Coffee provided!

Afternoon Departure:

School departure is at 3:00 p.m. At dismissal, please wait at your designated pick up spot for your child.

• K-2 students are considered “car riders” if they are to wait in the school for the parent to drive through the car rider line. Students will be dismissed to you by an LWE teacher/monitor. K-2 students are assigned to the lower parking lot that wraps directly in front of the school.
• If K-2 car rider has a 3-5 car rider sibling, the older sibling will be dismissed from his/her class to wait with the younger sibling.
• Kinder parents may also park in the upper lot or across the street at Emmaus Catholic Church and walk up to the black gate on the left side of the school. 
• If the student is a bus rider, the teacher will escort each child to their designated bus.
• Extended care students will be escorted to Extended Care check-in by the teacher.

Friendly Reminders

• Every classroom will have one “snack time” during the day. Please provide a non refrigerated / non spoon-requiring healthy snack in a zip-locked bag labeled with your child’s name.
• Students need to bring a labeled water bottle each day that is separate from their lunch drink.
• Please put a gallon sized baggie in your child’s backpack with the following: shorts, shirt, socks, underwear (that can stay at school). You never know what can happen during the day in the life of a kindergartner!
