Pathway Forward Update – Return to School in January
Dear LWSD Staff and Families:
As we welcome you back from winter break, we’d like to offer some information and reminders related to COVID. The Omicron variant of COVID-19 is spreading in our community, and we continue to track public health data for our communities. We do not yet know the full impact that Omicron will have on our schools and community.
Please watch this short video from Dr. Jon Holmen, Superintendent regarding our return to school: https://youtu.be/9aDkwhcQxA4

Looking For Volunteers During Lunch Time
Einstein PTSA is seeking volunteers to help set up/take down chairs before and after lunch. We are putting together a group of interested individuals to set up chairs in the outdoor spaces, so students don't have to sit on the wet ground.
Setting up would take place weekdays from 11a-11:30a. Putting chairs away would take place from 1:10p-1:30p. Many hands make light work and we are aiming to have 2-3 parents come once/week to assist. For any questions, please contact: volunteers@einsteinptsa.org.
If you are able to help, please sign up at: Einstein PTSA: Outdoor Lunch Help.
