Dear Lancaster Families, I’ll start with the to-do list for parents so we can get it out of the way! 🙂

A 'Back to School Checklist' is displayed on a clipboard, detailing tasks for household contact info, student permissions, and medical data.

Complete the Annual Back-to-School Update

 

Thankfully, the Annual Update is fully online and easy to complete:

 

  • Your current details are pre-filled—just verify, update if needed, and submit.

  • Smart drop-downs, checkboxes, and form fields make it easy to provide details.

  • Everything lives safely in one digital portal. No paper, no lost forms, no searching through backpacks.

 

Access the Parent Portal to begin... | Get help here...

 

All parents are requested to complete the annual forms prior to the start of school on September 2nd.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this last weekend with your family before school starts back up. We’ve been working hard at school, straightening classrooms and prepping for students’ return. The PTA Popsicles on the Playground event in mid-August was lots of fun! 

Children play on a merry-go-round on a playground with a brick building in the background.

We’ll see the PTA lots again this year, putting on free events and fundraisers to help support Lancaster students and teachers. The PTA helps fund field trips, provides needed school supplies to classroom teachers, and purchases playground equipment among many, many other things. You'll have an opportunity to join the PTA at the Ice Cream Social... and maybe even sign up to volunteer! For families new to Lancaster, here’s the year in review from last year:

If you haven’t purchased a backpack yet, no worries! We’ve got extra here at school. We have around 20 backpacks available FREE at the Ice Cream Social night.
