ANNOUNCEMENTS
Please Use the Crosswalk!
Before and after school we have had parents and children crossing the street without using the crosswalk. The safety of families at Runyon is extremely important and our crossing guards jobs are to make sure that everyone gets on and off of school property safely.
Membership ToolKit
What is Membership ToolKit? - Runyon PTO will be using Membership Toolkit again this year for our school directory, store for making purchases, and volunteer opportunities.
You should have already received an email from Membership Toolkit to get your new log in completed. Once you log in through your email, you then will be able to log in through the mobile app.
When you log in for the first time, you will be able to:
Make sure that your child is in the correct classroom/grade
Update any information that is currently in the system
Have the ability to opt out of having your family information shown to the other parents/only display information that you want other families to see

Information from Runyon Staff
Pick Up Procedures
Parents if you are picking your child up after school in our "Hug and Go" lane, please have your laminated sign, that has your child's name on it, on your dashboard. If you don't have one, please let us know.
No Dogs on School Property
Please remember that dogs are not allowed on school property during school hours. We have many children with allergies and animals can be unpredictable when there are many people surrounding them. This is also a District policy.
If you do bring your dogs to school—after school hours—please be sure to pick up after them. We have seen an increase in our furry friends leaving little "surprises" around the school grounds. We are planning on getting signs to remind all folks who visit our school grounds to please pick up after their furry friends.
Thank you!
Weather Procedures - SACC
The safety and security of students and staff are the highest priorities in our schools. With this in mind, we are providing some weather procedures for School Age Child Care (SACC).
LPS 1 hour delay: SACC will be on a 30 minute delay and open at 7:00 AM
LPS 2 hour delay: SACC will be on a 1 hour delay and open at 7:30 AM

Emergency Notifications
Runyon Families :
LPS utilizes Infinite Campus to send out emergency notifications via text and/or email. Please be aware that that the district also posts information on Facebook, Twitter and district websites.
If you did not receive these texts on Tuesday, May 7th please check the message preference settings in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. We encourage you to make sure that both "Emergency" and "Priority Notification" are selected to receive text messages on at least one cell phone.
If you continue to experience difficulty with receiving text messages, email online support at OLRegSupport@lps.k12.co.us or you can also leave a message at 303-347-3553 and they will contact you as soon as possible.
