Lubeck Elementary

Lubeck Families, We need your help with afternoon pick-up. Route 68 side- Please be cautious not to block the entrance or exit to any of our neighboring businesses. They are always very good to us and we don't want to prevent patrons from entering or exiting their establishment. Lubeck Road- The intersection of Rt. 68 and Lubeck Road (near Pahlhurst Plaza) gets very congested. We have graciously been permitted to use the vacant lot at on the corner for overflow traffic. We are not able to use the Fire Department lot because it blocks emergency vehicles. Our bus drivers thank you for waiting until 2:40 to begin lining up. This allows them to reach their line-up location without any issues. Dismissal is one of the most challenging logistics for any school. We have a good system, but we will continue to make it even better. Thank you for your help!

Lubeck Parents, Bus 177 has been delayed this morning. The bus is NOT involved in any type of incident. They are in traffic on Pond Creek Road and unable to move. All children are safe and will continue to Lubeck once the route is no longer blocked. Thank you!

The Lubeck 4th & 5th Grade Choir will perform tonight (11/29) at the First Annual Community Tree Lighting Ceremony. Festivities begin at 6:00pm on the front lawn of Lubeck United Methodist Church. All are welcome to attend this community-wide event!

Important Dates at Lubeck School: **Tuesday, November 30- Banking Day at School **Wednesday, December 1- Lunch menu changed to calzones **Thursday, December 2- Picture make-up day (starting at 8:30am)

Lubeck Families, Report cards were sent home with students today. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your student's progress, please reach out to their classroom teacher via Schoology, email, or phone. Parent/teacher conferences are not built into the school calendar, but teachers are happy to schedule a time to meet with you. Have a great evening!

REMINDER: The Lubeck School Costume Parade is Thursday, October 28 at 2:00. Please do not arrive before 1:50. Families are welcome to attend. We ask that spectators go to the track as we will not be checking visitors into the building. Students will return to their classroom once the parade ends. They will gather their things and we will start dismissal for those taking children home. This will not be counted as an early dismissal for students leaving with parents. If it rains, the parade will be cancelled. There is not a rain date. Please look for updates via Facebook and text message if the parade is cancelled due to weather.

Lubeck Elementary will continue to collect water and freezer pops for the Lubeck Fire Department through Tuesday, October 12. October 12 is also the final day that T-shirt orders will be accepted. Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

SMILE! Tomorrow (10/6) is school picture day at Lubeck Elementary! *Lubeck virtual/distance learning students may come at 1:00 for their photos. Please report to the gym.*

No school for Wood County students on Monday, October 4. Enjoy the long weekend!

Today kicks off our Lubeck Spirit Wear School Fundraiser. Students will be bringing an order form home. Please remember to indicate what color you want in the first column under the item's description. Items that have color choice can come in: blue, black, or gray. Payment and order forms are due back by Tuesday, October 12th. If you do not need any spirit wear, but still would like to donate to the school, simply write the name of the person donating and the $ amount on the form and send it in. As always, we appreciate all the support our families and community gives our school. Upcoming Dates to Remember: No School for Students October 4 and 15 Picture Day is October 6th

Lubeck Families, Those who pick up K-2 children on the Lubeck Road side may begin lining up at 2:40 each day. Lining up earlier creates challenges for buses who are arriving for dismissal. With one lane of the road blocked, buses struggle to safely pass parked vehicles. Children may not be dismissed in the car pick-up line until buses depart. Please share this with anyone who picks up K-2 students at the end of the day. Thank you for helping with this process!

Good evening Lubeck Families, There will be a Lubeck community service event on Saturday, September 11 at 8AM to spread new mulch on the Lubeck Elementary playground. Equipment will be on site to do the heavy lifting, but we need rakes and shovels to help get it moved to the areas of greatest need. If you know of any students looking to complete community service hours, please share with them as well. Thank you!

Lubeck Elementary will have their first PTA meeting of the year on Thursday, 9/9 at 6:00. The meeting will now be held via Zoom and not in person due to the uptick of COVID cases in our community. The volunteer training session that was scheduled to occur during this meeting will be rescheduled for a later date. Thank you! The meeting link is below.

Lubeck is still without landline phones. Please be sure to send transportation changes (if you have any) via note tomorrow. We don’t know when this will be able to be fixed. Of course, we have access to cell phones in case of an emergency. Thank you!

The landlines at Lubeck Elementary are currently down. We have alerted maintenance and are hoping for a quick repair. If you need immediate assistance, you may send a message via Facebook Messenger or contact your child’s teacher individually via Schoology, email, or whatever the preferred method is for that class. We will try to be monitoring those Facebook private messages as much as possible and will let you know as soon as phones are operating properly. Thank you for being patient and understanding!

Tonight, the Wood County Board of Education voted to require face coverings for all students and staff while indoors and on buses beginning tomorrow, August 31, 2021. Please read the article and guidelines at https://tinyurl.com/ye3dqy72

We are aware that there is an issue with the Route 68 northbound school zone lights. Thank you to all who continue to drive within the speed limit even when the lights are out of order. We contacted the Sheriff's department and asked them to assist in slowing traffic as we wait for lights to be back in service.
