Health News

Absences: It is extremely important that when your child is out that you call the school and provide us with as much information as possible regarding why your child is absent, i.e. stomach bug, fever, sore throat, etc. RIDOH and RIDE are watching our attendance on a daily basis.


Welcome by Jeannine Magliocco, principal

I would like to welcome the 22 new students and 35 new second graders to Lonsdale for this 2009-2010 school year. We are off to a wonderful start!

Lonsdale is dedicated to examining teaching and learning at our school in order to commit to continuous improvement in what we do. This year, we are embarking on a few projects in order to enhance student achievement. We are designing an approach for children to respond to literature that is aligned with state standards and cohesive across the school. We are also part of the state driven and district adopted Dana Center project that will guarantee a clear and viable curriculum in Mathematics. This project is a 3-5 year commitment, and will prove to be well worth the time and commitment.

Lonsdale is a PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) school. We approach managing behavior largely in a positive way by setting clear expectations in the various settings at school. The program is school-wide, yet classroom-based. Look for our PBIS newsletter which will come out bi-monthly.

I leave you by asking you to enter Lonsdale ready to interact as a partner in your child’s education. My goal is to increase that partnership over the course of my tenure at Lonsdale. I am always available for you and your child. Let’s have a wonderful year at Lonsdale, the home of the Leopards!
