We are looking for an individual to shadow our treasurer. This position is held by a parent that has a 6th grader next year so after next year they will need someone to take over their position. It would be great if that someone was able to act as an assistant and shadow the current treasurer this upcoming year so that when they took over next year by themselves they would understand better what to do. If interested please let us know.
Don't forget to check out the Student Council link on the left side menu of this page for all the news about upcoming Spirit Days and Service Projects.
Looking For Parents with Special Talents!!!

LIS doors open at 8:15 am every school day. If your child arrives prior to this start time, they will remain outside until we have staff members on duty to supervise. Especially during these cold winter months, please do not drop off your child until 8:15 am. Our homeroom time runs from 8:40 to 8:50 am. If you child arrives to school after 8:50, they are considered late to school and you will need to come into the main office to sign them into school for the day.
