Have we said lately how awesome our London families are? Thank you to our AMAZING families for responding to our request yesterday for getting to school before we begin at 7:55 and for being patient with our teachers as they respond to questions and requests! We appreciate your partnership! When we work together, our Tigers get the best education possible at London! We love our Tiger families!

Thank you so much for trusting us as we have navigated the beginning of the year in a new way. We appreciate your kind words, positivity, and your willingness to follow our procedures...especially during dismissal!
Here is how we need your help...The bell rings for school to begin at 7:55. With our new morning procedures, when students arrive right at 7:55 it causes them to be late for class by the time they sanitize, get their temperature taken, and hang up their backpack.
Beginning tomorrow, we will have a sign out front to remind you to come in if Mrs. Steffy and I have already come inside and our front doors are closed. You will need to walk your child in and sign them in for the day. If our front doors are closed, students cannot come in alone.Secondly, please be patient with your child's teacher when you contact them during the day. Each teacher has sent out specific office hours where they can be contacted and you will get a response within 10 minutes. Our teachers will still respond if you contact them outside of their office hours, but the response will not be immediate and could take up to 24 hours. That is because they are teaching onsite students, preparing materials for lessons, or in meetings. If you have an urgent need or question for the teacher, contacting them during their office hours is best.
Thank you in advance for helping us with these two procedures. The partnership we have with our families is one of the many things that makes London Elementary so great!
Exciting news!....ALL of our Tigers will receive free breakfast AND lunch from August 31st to December 31st! Even with this announcement, we need our Tigers families to complete the free and reduced lunch application if you haven't already! https://family.titank12.com/

Dear Tiger Family,
We have learned that a member of our school family has tested positive for COVID-19. This person was on campus on Monday and Tuesday , August 24th and 25th. This positive case has caused several students and two adults to quarantine for up to 14 days because it was determined that they were probable close contacts. A probable close contact is someone who was within six feet for 15 or more cumulative minutes of a known positive. Russellville School District is following the guidance and protocols of the Arkansas Dept. of Health.
At this time, no school or classroom closures are necessary. We understand this may cause anxiousness for you and your family and we regret any hardship. Please feel free to contact me at 479-293-4241 if you would like to discuss this further.
Sincerely,
Krista Malin
London Elementary Principal
