Looking for fun activities for your child to engage in this summer?
LPS and RSD6 are excited to sponsor the Summer Step Enrichment program at James Morris School. This program is open to all currently enrolled students in grades K-5 across both districts, at no cost to families! Summer Step offers students an opportunity to participate in a variety of academic activities in ELA and Math subject areas, led by certified
Teachers. We will also be working with local community agencies to provide fun, on-site presentations and/or activities!
Please see the Virtual Backpack for more information. Registration form
Fitness Bag Information
We are excited to introduce our Fitness bags which will be sent home with all Kindergarten through Grade 3 students this year. The activity is sponsored by Fit Together. Fit Together is a community collaborative formed in 2011. The initial purpose was to identify and implement environmental and social improvements in the Northwest corner of CT. Their mission is to build the healthiest kids, families and communities through sustainable strategies that foster healthy eating and active living.
Each bag has a variety of activities for students to share with their family and friends. Suggestions of games will be included, but you are welcome to create your own fun as well. Bags will be sent home each Friday with one student from the class. The bag should be returned with all the contents on the following Thursday so that another classmate can enjoy the following week.
If you would like to email pictures or share any feedback, we would love to have it. Information can be sent to the centerschool@lpsct.org address.
Food Services If you would like for your child to receive breakfast at school, please sign up using this form. The food service program needs to track the breakfasts provided, so you must order by 7:45am daily. You can also order for the full week ahead of time.
