If you have more than one student and there is a small wait, it is acceptable to check with your other student's teacher.

If you have another student in the main LES building, you do not have to get your temperature rechecked upon entry. Kindergarten parents please check your email for the Ages and Stages Questionnaire sent out by our child's teacher. If you complete this before your Meet the Teacher time it would be helpful.
