In order to help our school streamline our contact tracing procedures, we are asking that parents provide information regarding their students' vaccination status.

Please take a moment to complete this form, if you feel comfortable doing so. Unless we can confirm your students' vaccination status through ImmuNet, we will need to assume that students for whom a response has not been submitted are unvaccinated.

Please submit one form per student. At this time, we only need the information for the student(s) who attend Longfellow Elementary School.

Every February, people in the United States celebrate the achievements and history of African Americans as part of Black History Month. Each Friday, we will host a Moment in Black History through our newsletter. A video will be shared each week that is narrated by a parent, grandparent, guardian, or another member of our LoES community.

This weeks video features Bessie Coleman, narrated by Lakesha Ott, parent of 1st and 4th graders at Longfellow Elementary.

After viewing the video have a discussion as a family about the moment in history and how the person is an influencer in today's world.
