What items is Lake Elkhorn distributing? 

The following items will be distributed to students:

• Instruments:  Attention orchestra and band students!  All students enrolled in orchestra for the first semester should be sure to fill out the Orchestra Materials Survey if they have not done so already.  Students enrolled in band for the first semester should email Ms. Bilal if they are in need of instrument assistance or loan. Please be sure to indicate your need for either an orchestra or band instrument by Monday August 31, so that we may determine what instruments to distribute.  Students in band and orchestra who need to pick up their instrument will be contacted by Ms. Retterer (orchestra director) or Ms. Bilal (band director) prior to our first distribution date, to confirm the need to pick-up an instrument. If you have questions, feel free to contact Ms. Retterer or Ms. Bilal.

What should I do to prepare?

• Using a marker, write your child’s name and grade in large font on an 8.5x11 piece of paper and be prepared to show this paper upon arrival. This will help us check you in quickly and safely.

• Print the map and these directions, or have them ready on your phone, so that you are familiar with the different stations for picking up materials.

Where do I go when I arrive?

• Parents/guardians should enter the staff parking lot (not the bus loop) to check-in, as indicated on the attached map.

• Follow the traffic pattern indicated by the red arrows on the map. 

What safety precautions are in place to protect families and school staff during drop-off?

Please know that our number one priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of every student, staff and family member during this process. We ask that you adhere to the following guidelines:

• Students and parents/guardians should remain in their cars during the pick-up of materials. Students and parents/guardians who will walk/bike to school should also adhere to social distancing expectations throughout the process and will be directed by HCPSS staff upon arrival.

• Students and parents/guardians must wear masks and adhere to social distancing guidelines at all times.

• When you are near the different pick-up stations, stay along the curb as you move forward to receive your materials.

I still have materials to drop-off.  What should I do?  

• Place all materials to be returned to LEMS in any type of bag labeled with your child’s first and last name (the bag will not be returned to you.)

• Include a “Returned Materials Form” in the bag. This form can be printed and completed, or you can simply write the information on a sheet of paper.

• Turn-in materials at the return items station indicated on the attached map. 

Is there a map with the different stations for picking up and dropping off materials?
