Lead Mine 101
Linked Here is a newsletter with back-to-school information that pertains to all our Leopards. Happy Reading!
Lunch Benefits
The coming school year brings a price increase for school breakfast and lunch. Breakfast will be $1.50 and lunch will be $3.00. If you feel you would qualify for benefits, please click here to apply. We can also provide a paper copy. For the 22-23 school year, students who qualify for reduced meal prices will receive meals free.
Meet the Teachers for 1st through 5th Grades
Our '22-23 Meet the Teacher' Event is scheduled for Thursday, August 25th. Teachers will be calling all Leopards early that week to introduce themselves and personally invite them to our event. In order to ease parking and the number of people in the building, there are two time periods - separated by the first letter of your Leopard's last name. Click Here to see when your Leopard's teacher will be expecting them!
WCPSS Bus Transportation
Bus routes will be posted on the WCPSS website on August 19, 2022. Please click here to review the Lead Mine Elementary bus transportation information, including to review information related to bus routes, how to download the Here Comes the Bus App, and to track your Leopard's bus each day. Please review the bus expectations with your Leopard prior to the school year beginning. Videos and additional information can be found linked here.
Carpool
Please click here to review the Lead Mine carpool drop-off and pick-up procedures. It will be important for this information to be shared with all those who will be responsible for dropping off or picking up - family, friends, and neighbors. Thank you in advance for helping to keep our Leopards safe!
When to Return After Illness
Please follow the guidance linked here to understand when to return to campus after an illness. Thank you in advance for helping us to keep the spread of germs on campus to a minimum.
Parent Teacher Association
Our PTA has begun its planning for the 2022-2023 school year. They have great things in store for our Leopards again this year! Please consider becoming a member of the PTA by clicking here. Another hassle-free way to support the PTA is to link your reward cards to Lead Mine. Various companies give back to the PTA - Harris Teeter (2231), Lowes Foods, and Amazon Smiles to name a few!
Thank you for the feedback!
We had 113 families provide feedback in the district parent survey last spring, one of the highest rates in the district! The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with results at or above the district and northern area averages - you can find the data linked here. Thank you to all the families who took the time to complete the survey - and fill our buckets!
Lead Mine Elementary's Teacher Working Conditions Survey results were equally as positive. You can view the data shared by our faculty and staff linked here.
We are excited about the coming school year and are confident that our Leopards will have an amazing year!
For the Love of Lead Mine,
Jena Wojdylo-Kehler, Principal
