Counselor News
The Great Kindness Challenge is January 23-27. The Great Kindness Challenge is one week dedicated to creating a culture of kindness on campuses nationwide. Our school is proudly participating in this proactive positive initiative.
All students will receive a GKC checklist (K-2 list, 3-4 list) with deeds to complete. Please encourage your child to complete the checklist and show the world that...KINDNESS MATTERS! Students can turn their completed form into the counseling office and earn a heart to write their name on and display on the front bulletin board.
Lost and Found
Our lost and found is filling up fast and we need your help reclaiming lost hats, gloves, sweatshirts, sweaters and coats! All unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity before spring break. Please take a moment to write your child's name on the inside of clothing items and lunch boxes, so they can be returned if they are found.

Tardies
The roads and weather are now clear, so let s make sure our students are here!
We have noticed a big increase in late arrivals in the mornings.

Parents, please do your best to bring your student to school on time. Students are allowed in the building beginning at 8:40 and the tardy bell rings at 8:50. We also have supervision outside beginning at 8:30 if you would like to avoid a long line at drop-off. Thank you for your help in giving our students a smoother start to their day!

Illness Reminder
It can sometimes be hard to know when your child is too sick to attend school. Here are some guidelines based on symptoms:
Vomiting: If your child vomits in the morning before school, they may not attend school that day. Keep them home, and if they do not vomit again, they may return the next day. If they vomit more than once, please keep them home until they have been vomit-free for a full 24 hours.
Diarrhea: Children experiencing diarrhea should not attend school until they have been symptom-free for a full 24 hours.
Fever: For our school policy, a fever is a temp of 100.0 degrees or higher. Children with fever should stay home until they have been fever-free for a full 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Strep throat: Children may return to school after they have been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours. Pink eye: Children may return to school after they have been on antibiotic eye drops for 24 hours.
In general, children should be excluded from school until they are well-enough to participate in routine activities. If you have any other questions please contact our school nurse, Sarah Lent, at slent@ladueschools.net

LEF News
Give the Gift of Connecting Past with Present Last April, our generous community supported the $85.1 million bond referendum, which will renovate the high school with a focus on academic spaces. Even with this bond, there is approximately a $7.5M gap between what that will cover and the ideal renovation. The LEF is continuing our campaign to help complete the total campus project, which includes enrichment areas and athletic facilities. Building on the momentum of the initial phase of our campaign, in which we secured nearly $2 million in pledges from our lead donors, the LEF has begun phase two, bringing naming rights and opportunities, large and small, to our supporters, alumni and district families. We invite the community to be a part of this important event in our district’s history!
Inscribed bricks will be placed at the beautiful new south entrance to LHWHS. The Ladue Education Foundation (LEF) is making bricks available to students and families, alumni and community members, with funds going toward LEF’s capital campaign for the high school. You can be a permanent part of the LHWHS renewed campus by purchasing a brick to commemorate a team, honor a teacher, remember a loved one, give your child a lasting gift or simply celebrate your own years as a Ladue School District student! Participate in Ladue Horton Watkins High School history and help
us create a meaningful welcome with your words – connecting our past to our present and our future. Two choices are available:
*Small Commemorative Brick: (4” x 8”) $350 (or $250 each for two or more)
*Large Commemorative Brick: (8” x 8”) $600 Information about the bricks, including inscription options, is available at this link and by contacting lef@ladueschools.net. You can also download the order form here.
The LEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible.
