Message from the Principal

Dear Lane Families,

Our first week of school has come and gone, and all of our students are starting to settle into their new classes. We started the week with an exciting first day of meeting new friends, learning new procedures, and sharing a little about our summers. It was so great to see all of the smiling faces of The Lane Family as we lined up with our new classes for the first time. Thank you to all of the families who were able to join us for an amazing first day. Our Kindergarten Bulldog friends also got to know the school by participating in a scavenger hunt with their parents around the building. The smiling faces of our youngest students always warms my heart, and I am so glad that parents were able to share the opening day experience with their children.

Regards,

Mr. Todd

Please bring your bikes and helmets. The event should last about 1.5 hours.

Nutrition Information

Our Nutrition Guidelines have changed for the upcoming school year 2017-18. Specifically, parents should be aware that regular daily snacks may only include fruits/vegetables, unless your child has a health/medical reason for which they require an alternative snack. In this case, parents should contact the school nurse. Please click to read the full updated Nutrition Guidelines for students.
