Knock on wood, the optional masking continues to be going well and we haven't see any major setbacks as a result to this change. However, we have seen an increase in the number of students showing cold-like symptoms which is to be expected with allergy season upon us and the reduced number of individuals wearing masks. It is very important that you do not send students to school who show these symptoms. We are hearing a lot of "they didn't have a fever so I sent them in". Nothing has changed regarding symptoms; they don't have to have a fever to stay home - it still remains that students with any symptoms should be home until feeling better.

Our school nurse, Mrs. Wright or myself are happy to answer any questions you may have about this. We really appreciate your cooperation.

Enjoy your weekend,

Dr. Bello

To ensure that we are equitably connecting with all families please take a moment to complete the form below. Parent/Teacher conferences are scheduled for the afternoon of April 8th. If this date does not work but you are interested in a conference, please select "these dates do not work for me." We look forward to your continued partnership. If you have indicated that you would like a parent teacher conference your child's teacher will contact you to arrange a time.

Unfortunately, due to low enrollment numbers we are going to postpose this event. We know this is a difficult time of year for our families. Please look forward to another opportunity this fall!

Dear Parents,

Our district hopes this letter finds your families happy and healthy. Enclosed you will find a paper copy of your child’s report card. You will also receive a paper copy of the report card in March. However, for the final report card in June, we will not be sending a paper copy. At that time, we will ask that you access your child’s report card through the parent portal in Infinite Campus. You will need a parent portal account to do this. Below are the directions on how to create a parent portal account. If you already have a parent portal account, you can access the report card now in the portal.

We felt it was important to communicate this now, so we have time to support you in this transition. We will resend these directions in March and principals will continue to share this information in their building communications. In June, if you need a paper copy, we will most certainly respond to this request. We will send more details as that final marking period comes to a close.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Terri Robson

Parent Portal Instructions:

In order to create a parent portal account, you will need to have an email address on file with the district before you begin. If you do not already have an email address on file with the district you will need to call the main office of your student's school from a phone number associated with you and your student in order for them to update your information. If you have neither an email address nor phone number on file with the district, you will need to visit your student's main office in person.

1. Visit www.eastiron.org, click on the Infinite Campus link, select Campus Parent and click the "Click here to request a parent portal activation key" link on the Campus Parent homepage. You may also choose to go directly to the URL below.

Dear LP Families,

First and most important, I hope this letter finds you well! I am reaching out to any families who have not yet filled out a Device Protection Plan or paid the $25 protection plan fee for your child’s iPad. Here are some frequently asked questions we have received about this plan:

Why would I need a Device Protection Plan?

Every student at Laurelton-Pardee is given an iPad to use for instruction at school, as well as at home. While this is a benefit for our students, the downside is accidents do happen and iPads are sometimes damaged or even lost. If this happens, and you do not have a Device Protection Plan, you could pay upwards of $300 for a damaged iPad and over $400 for a lost iPad! If you pay the $25 protection plan, these charges are significantly reduced. Please see the Program fee/Coverage section on the next page for more information!

How do I sign up for a Device Protection Plan?

Simply fill out the second page and return to the main office with $25 cash or check. You can also do this all online at: https://eicsd.revtrak.net

How often do I have to sign up for this?

You will need to fill out a form and submit $25 EVERY school year. The protection plan fee covers damage or replacement of the iPad for one school year.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. We really want to help our families avoid these high charges if possible and highly encourage you to take advantage of this protection plan.

Thank you,

Dr. Bello (Principal)
