Chance to Add More Computer Classes

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

OCT. 10th DEADLINE TO ADD ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTOR

As most of you know, Computerwisekids (a third-party vendor) provides technology classes for our Lockhurst Students. This is not a service provided by LAUSD; it is one of the programs funded solely by the Lockhurst PTSA's fundraising efforts.

In the last few weeks, a handful of parents have asked the PTSA about the possibility of adding weekly computer classes for grades K through 2.

Up to this point, the Computerwisekids schedule for grades K through 2 has been one 50-minute class every other week, while grades 3 through 5 attend one 50-minute class each week. Our current annual contract price from Computerwisekids is $37,500 for that schedule, for the entire year of instruction.

To meet your requests - and hey, we think it's a great idea also! - we'd like to contract Computerwisekids to add that additional weekly class for grades K through 2. That means all grades at Lockhurst will attend weekly 50-minute technology/computer courses; not just the upper grades.

The cost for this upgrade - in addition to our current contract - is $3,500. To secure the additional instructor, we need to raise these funds in addition to what we'd already planned by next Monday - Oct. 10th.

Please help us out, Lockhurst families! The Student Fund is VITAL to the survival of enrichment classes at Lockhurst. If you haven't donated yet, please do so quickly! Our overall, annual Student Fund goal is $70,000 - and we're not even halfway yet. Click HERE to donate today!

Next PTSA Meeting Oct. 5

Hey there, Lockhurst families - just a reminder that the next PTSA meeting is this Wednesday, Oct. 5th at 7:00pm (in the LIBRARY this time). See you there!

Slooooow Down...

Parents..... We need your HELP in making the streets around Lockhurst SAFER for our kids.

In the last week alone, multiple complaints have come in regarding things such as illegal u-turns, speeding, double parking, parking in red zones - all violations which not only endanger our kids, but will also earn you a hefty ticket should an LAPD officer witness you doing this.

C'mon, everyone - help us out! There have been some potentially dangerous close calls in the last few days. Please let the safety of our kids be your absolute first priority!

DO:

• Watch your speed! It's 20 MPH max around the school during school hours or anytime kids are present.

• Cross ONLY at crosswalks - do not let the kids cross in the middle of the street

DON'T DO:

• No double-parking

• No u-turns to nab a great parking spot

• You CANNOT use someone's driveway as a parking spot

• When dropping off, do NOT have your child exit on the LEFT-HAND (or driver's side) of your car... have them exit on the RIGHT-HAND (or passenger's) side of the car.
