A reminder that parent/guardian communication to students should come through the office rather than texting/calling your child. Communication with our kids is easier than ever before because of cell phones and some of our older students are hitting the age when some do have cellphones of their own. However, directly calling or texting your child during the school day is disruptive because the cellphone often makes a noise and/or causes the student to want to look at their cell phone which turns into a disruption. Schools also run into the issue that a student calls/texts a parent that they are sick and the parent/guardian arrives at the school without the teacher or office being aware. There has also been communication by students and parents/guardians changing end of day plans and school staff not finding out until the day’s end. With the number of students at LFPS, this creates a great deal of confusion and added stress at the day’s end.
