To help alleviate that congestion, we are creating a temporary parent-pick up location just in front of the north end of the main building beginning 9/11/2015. There will be signs for parents. We will bring children to that area who are going to be picked up and ask that parents, instead of waiting by the doors, wait there for them. That leaves the area in front of the doors free for classes to walk through to get to the buses. This will be a temporary parent-pick up location until the main entrance is completed.
Also a reminder to parents, that teachers main job during dismissal is to ensure that their students get on the bus safely. They would be happy to answer your questions or connect with you once all of their students are on the bus.
We appreciate your patience while construction takes place. We know that you will be amazed at what this building looks like when its finished and how much better it will function for years to come.
Thank you
Olivia

While we have been enjoying the long hot days of summer, the men and women of LGC Pence have been busy working on remodeling and adding to our school. I know that many of you, like me, check the progress every time we drive by the school. I had the chance today to look at the inside for the first time in over a month and I wanted to share with you the pictures I took. You can see that there has been lots of progress inside and out. As with any construction project, unexpected challenges have arisen but rest assured that school will open and classes will start September 8th. However there will still be construction going on in areas around the school as the entire project is not scheduled to be completed until December. In addition the parking lot/bus loop will be done in the summer of 2016. (Click on the pictures to make them larger and check out the details!)
New First Through Fifth Grade Students:
Registration will be on August 19th from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Follow the link to the right to print the forms and fill them out in advance.
