Dear Lockhart Families: Throughout the year, we perform different safety drills so all staff and students are prepared if there is ever a real emergency. Next week, we will perform our final Lockdown Drill. As always, it is done in a safe, calm, and child appropriate manner and is never a surprise to the staff and students. Please know that we are taking many steps to keep our building safe, and this is an important piece.
Dear Lockhart Families: This is the last call to submit a request on the form below. Each year, the placement process for making future classes is one of the most important, time consuming jobs we have. Multiple staff in the building discuss best placements for our students. Parents are also given the opportunity to give some input into the process, but understand that nothing is guaranteed and the overall decision lies with the school. Please click on the link to gain more information and use the link on the sheet to the google spreadsheet to enter your input. All responses are due by April 1.

Dear Lockhart Families: We are looking for to our PTA Reflections and PTA Lifetime Award Ceremony on April 16. On this night, we honor the students who participated and created amazing projects to display their talents and interests. This year, we had 36 students submit projects and display their abilities. While more information will be sent about the ceremony, right now we are asking for students to send in the hard copy of their project, if they have one. The work will be on display in the GP room for all to see. If you have not sent it in already, students can bring it to the main office.
Dear Lockhart Families: Next week, we will celebrate our annual Respect/Kindness Week! Typically celebrated in January as Random Acts of Kindness Week, we celebrate our own week as it is usually done during our very busy PARP and Spotlight season. At Lockhart, we feel that kindness should not be random, it should just be the way we are. Also, everyone deserves to be respected and it’s important that we teach our students this. Each day, our teachers will remind their students of all the conversations and hard work we are doing to display respect and inclusivity for all. They will also talk about the little things they could do each day to make our school a happy and safe place to learn and grow. We have put together some fun, non intrusive, activities that can be done each day and a couple easy dress up days. Something as simple as a student giving another student a compliment can go a long way. Please read the memo below which gives more information. We are also bringing back the highly popular Mix It Up Day. On Friday, March 20, during all lunch periods, students will get the opportunity to sit with different people and strike up conversations to get to know each other. With the help of our Social Worker, Ms. Pusateri, all students will be given a different color index card, which signals the lunch table they will sit at. Questions and conversation starters will be on the tables to help students. These are all fun and important messages for our kids to learn. The more opportunities we take to display the positive traits in ourselves, the better our children will be.

Dear 5th Grade Families: There are a number of field trips and events coming up for our 5th Graders. We want to send an important reminder about cell phones and smart watches. As per District Policy, if a child has their cell phone on them, it should be turned off and in their draw string bag. Also, smart watches are not permitted during the school day at all, and therefore are not allowed to be worn on field trips. Please make sure your children are aware of this prior to their trips. Staff will also be reminding them as well.
Dear Lockhart Families: Looking for a good meal and a way to help our 5th graders??? The Fifth Grade Committee is running a fundraiser in partnership with the Tap Room in Massapequa. 30% of all orders on today are being donated to our 5th Grade. You can either dine in and mention the flyer or order online and use the code. Please see the link below with information.
