LIFE SKILLS FOR SEPTEMBER
Cooperation: To work together toward a common goal or purpose.Patience: To wait calmly for someone or something.
Dear Wonderful LFP Families:
Welcome to the 2016 – 2017 school year at Lake Forest Park. I would like to extend a welcome to the Kindergarten families and all new families enrolled at Lake Forest Park this year. We are glad that you are a part of our school. I would also like to extend a special welcome back to all returning LFP families. This is my eighth year at LFP and I absolutely love this community!
We had a wonderful start to the school year with a well attended Meet and Greet and PTA Back-to-School BBQ. We hope you are planning to attend Kindergarten Curriculum Night this Thursday at 7:00 pm and/or 1st-6th grade Curriculum Night on Sept. 22nd. Curriculum Nights are full of information on what your child will be learning about this year and how you can best support your child for school.
A huge thank you to the incredible PTA who worked hard this summer to prepare for a successful start of school. They hosted three well attended Kindergarten play dates, attended a staff meeting, new family orientation, and Kindergarten orientation, stuffed the back-to-school mailings, hosted the fun back-to-school BBQ with special guests, provided the staff with a delicious breakfast the first day, guided students to their new classrooms the first day, coded every child for after school, and hosted a coffee for parents the first day of school. Please consider joining our strong PTA this year. They support our staff and students in a myriad of important ways.
I would also like to thank our wonderful staff that worked hard prior to the start of school to prepare their classrooms and plan curriculum. The staff at LFP is incredibly dedicated to providing the best education for all students.
Please be courteous of our neighbors when parking on the street and do not park in a way that blocks driveways or mailboxes. Thank you for your cooperation.
I wish you a wonderful school year.
Mrs. Aimee Miner, Principal

“News From Your School Library”
Dear students and families,
Welcome to a new school year and another year of reading and learning in your school library. It was wonderful to meet students and their families at our Back-to-School event. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. I’m very excited to be your school’s teacher-librarian!
It’s important to start the year with an understanding of our school’s check out and overdue policy. I am teaching our students to remember to return their books on time so that they can continue to grow as readers and meet their learning goals. It will also help them avoid unnecessary worries over lost books and fines.
Check Out Students, teachers, and adult family members are encouraged to check out books from our Library. All library patrons may borrow materials for two weeks. • Kindergarten check out one or two books per week depending
on the time of year. They usually turn in the book(s) within a week.
• First graders check out three books per week. They usually turn in the book(s) within a week.
• 2nd and 3rd graders may borrow four books. • 4th and 5th graders may borrow five books. • 6th graders may borrow six books.
Overdue Books • Books are overdue if they have not been turned in within two
weeks. • Students will be reminded at library class time that they have
an overdue book that they should turn in or renew. • When a student has two or more overdue books, they will no
longer be able to check out books. Their teacher and family will be notified. Books are overdue if they have not been turned in within two weeks.
• If a student is unable to check out due to overdue books, a parent can contact the library to let us know that they are aware of the situation. Once the parent contacts the library, the student can resume checking out books.
Our Library Welcomes Volunteers I should also note that our library welcomes volunteers to help us with the many tasks that take place in the library. Any time you can give us is a great help! We are very flexible about the time you choose to spend with us. If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please email me at [email protected]. You can also stop by at any time.
See you in the library!

LFP Birthday Celebration Policy (adopted Sept 2014):
Birthday Celebrations at LFP
Due to the growing number of allergies and health concerns for our students, the LFP staff celebrates
student birthdays with a non-food celebration. Each classroom teacher finds a special way to honor each student on his/her birthday. Some examples are: having the student wear a crown, singing to the child, and writing compliments to the birthday child. Students are welcome to donate a gently used or new book to be added to the class or school library in the child’s name in honor of his/her birthday. We appreciate your support and ask that you please do not send in food treats for your child’s birthday. Thank you.

Parent/sGuardian’s Right-to-Know
At LFP, we are very proud of our teachers and feel they are ready for the coming school year and are prepared to give your child a high-quality education. As a Title I school, we must meet federal rules related to teacher qualifications as defined in No Child Left Behind. These rules allow you to learn more about your child’s teachers’ training and credentials. We are happy to provide this information to you. At any time, you may ask:
• Whether the teacher met state qualifications and certification requirements for the grade level and subject he/she is teaching,
• Whether the teacher received an emergency or conditional certificate through which state qualifications were waived, and
• What undergraduate or graduate degrees the teacher holds, including graduate certificates and additional degrees, and major(s) or area(s) of concentration.
You may also ask whether your child receives help from a paraprofessional. If your child receives this assistance, we can provide you with information about the paraprofessional’s qualifications.
Our staff is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he/she needs to succeed in school and beyond. That commitment includes making sure that all of our teachers and paraprofessionals are highly skilled.
If you have any questions about your child’s assignment to a teacher or paraprofessional, please contact me at [email protected]
Please read over our attendance policy and call the school with any questions. 206-393-4130
Thank you,Principal Miner
