Dear Layne Families,
Field Day is always one of the most anticipated events of the year! It is a day filled with energy, school spirit, and plenty of sunshine. As we prepare for this year's festivities, we want to share an important update regarding the event's format.
Unfortunately, due to recent events of unsafe behavior by parents and to ensure the highest level of safety is provided for a streamlined experience for all our students, we will NOT be hosting parents or outside guests for Field Day this year.
We recognize that this maybe disappointing news for families who look forward to cheering from the sidelines. However, after careful consideration, this decision was made with a primary focus on student safety, allowing our staff to fully dedicate their attention to the students' participation and well-being. Our goal is to ensure every child has a safe, focused, and incredibly fun day with their peers!
Don't Miss the Action!
While we won't have spectators on the field, we want you to feel part of the fun! We will be sharing the magic of the day through several channels:
• Social Media & Web: Look for highlights and group photos on our official Social Media sites and the Layne Elementary webpage.
• Direct Photos: To receive specific photos of your student from their teacher, please ensure you are signed up for Thrillshare and/or ClassDojo.
Important Note on Media Privacy: If you do not want your child's picture shared on our social media sites or webpage, please notify your child's teacher immediately.
Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support in keeping our school community safe and organized. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school office.
Warmly,
The Layne Elementary Administration

Dear Layne Elementary School Families,
The safety and wellbeing of our students is our top priority. I’m writing to let you know about a situation that impacted students on one of our school buses today.
This afternoon, an upset adult blocked in Bus #1730 at St. Anthony Church Road and Springfield Drive. Immediately, JCPS PD and LMPD were called to help resolve the situation. After approximately 30 minutes, the adult involved stopped blocking the bus and students resumed their bus ride home.
We know situations like this can impact all students differently. Our mental health team is available to talk with any student who would like to discuss what happened. Please contact the school office if you feel your child would like support.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Cassandra Hayes
Principal

🍄 LEVEL UP: KSA Testing Week is Here! 🍄
Attention, Layne Elementary families! Our Lions are heading into World 1-1 of KSA testing starting tomorrow morning. We want all our players to have their "Health Meters" full and be ready to conquer every level this week!
To help our students reach the final flagpole, here is your Parent Power-Up Checklist:
⏰ Be on Time: The "game" starts early! Please ensure your student is at school by 7:30 AM so they can settle in and feel ready.
🍳 Fuel the Hero: A great quest requires energy. Make sure your student eats a hearty breakfast at home or joins us for breakfast here at school.
💤 Save Point: Ensure your student gets plenty of rest each night. A fully charged battery makes for a focused brain!
🗓️ The Schedule: Testing runs every day from Monday through Friday.
I’ve left a special "Power-Up" note on every student's desk to start the week with a boost of confidence. We’ve been training all year for this, and we know our Lions are going to be Super!
Let’s help them clear every level with a smile! 🌟
