STUDENT PICK UP AT END OF THE DAY THERE ARE 2 ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED CONCERNING STUDENT PICK UP AT THE END OF THE DAY. 1.) High school and middle school students are NOT ALLOWED on school grounds after they are released from school. If your middle or high school student comes to pick up their younger sibling after school, they must wait on the sidewalk closest to the door that their sibling is dismissed from. When the bell rings, and they see their sibling, they may approach the door to meet them. But not before the final bell rings. Please understand, we do this for the safety of your child. If we allow some students on the grounds, others assume they are allowed to come. Before you know it, we have middle and high school students that shouldn’t be here, loitering after school. Your cooperation helps us to assure the safety of our Lowell students and your children. 2.) The new dismissal time is 3:40. Please be on time. Often staff has an after school meeting and it isn’t in our school budget to pay overtime to staff. Thank you for your help and cooperation. Annual Asbestos Notification September 2014 As a result of the federal law AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) all primary and secondary schools are required to develop and implement a plan for managing all building materials which contain asbestos. Included in the AHERA Act is the requirement to notify all parents, guardians and staff members, as well as organizations representing them, of activities and events with the asbestos containing building materials annually as well as make them aware of the availability of the districts asbestos management plan. Asbestos has been used in many building materials due to its outstanding insulating and strengthening properties. When it is undisturbed or intact, it poses little hazard to human health. It is only when damage has or may occur that the quality of the school’s management program becomes an issue. In 1988, all buildings owned, leased, or “under the control of” the School District of Waukesha were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors, with building material samples analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the inspection, the School District of Waukesha prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for administering the asbestos located within its buildings, safely and responsibly. Once every three years, certified inspectors must re-inspect remaining materials. In addition, the rule requires a periodic walkthrough (called “surveillance”) in each area containing asbestos every six months. Short-term workers (outside contractors e.g. telephone repair workers, electricians, etc.) must be provided information regarding the location of asbestos in which they may come into contact. All short-term workers shall contact the lead maintenance person before commencing work. The School District of Waukesha has a list of the location(s) and type(s) of asbestos containing materials found in the building and a description and timetable for their proper management. A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available for review in the school office. Copies are available at twenty-five (25) cents per page. Our goal is to be in full compliance with AHERA. It is our policy to maintain a safe and healthful environment for our students and our staff members. This shall be accomplished by strict enforcement of the policies regarding asbestos by the asbestos manager and the school officials. The School District of Waukesha also requires that all new building materials introduced into the School District of Waukesha are free from asbestos. For all new buildings/additions, the architect responsible for the design certifies that to the best of their knowledge, no asbestos containing materials are used. If new buildings are acquired, they too will be inspected. Within the last year, the School District of Waukesha has completed a 6-Month Asbestos Surveillance of remaining materials. Asbestos removal has been conducted in cooperation with the on-going construction activities at: Banting Elementary School Blair Elementary School Hawthorne Elementary School Heyer Elementary School Lowell Elementary School Prairie Elementary School Harvey Philip School South High School Mr. Glen Norder Asbestos Designated Person 262-970-4311 2 Distrito Escolar de Waukesha Notificación anual del asbesto Septiembre 2014 Como resultado a la ley federal AHERA (acto de respuesta emergencia al peligro de asbesto) se requiere que todas las escuelas primarias y secundarias desarrollen e implementen un plan para manejar todos los materiales que contengan asbestos en los edificios. Se incluye en el acto de AHERA el requisito de notificar a todos los padres, guardias y los miembros de personal, así como las organizaciones que las representan, de actividades y de acontecimientos con los materiales que contienen asbesto anualmente. Incluye también que se les informe a todos que hay copias disponibles acerca del plan del distrito para cómo manejar asbestos. El asbesto se ha utilizado en muchos materiales de construcción debido a su aislamiento excepcional y sus características de la durabilidad. Cuando está intacto, causa muy poco riesgo a la salud humana. Es solamente cuando se a deteriorado o a punto de deteriorarse que puede causar riesgos o comprometer la cualidad del ambiente en el edificio o escuela. En 1988, todos los edificios que pertenecen al distrito escolar de Waukesha alquilados o ocupados por el distrito, fueron examinados por inspectores acreditados por el EPA, cogieron muestras de los materiales del edificio y fueron analizadas por un laboratorio independiente. Basado en los resultados de la inspección, el distrito escolar de Waukesha preparó up plan que fue aprobado por el estado acerca de como manejar los asbestos en los edificios de una manera responsable y segura. Una vez cada tres años, los inspectores certificados deben reinspeccionar los materiales. Además, la regla requiere un recorrido periódico (llamado “vigilancia ") en cada área que contiene el asbesto cada seis meses. Los trabajadores a corto plazo deben recibir información acerca de la localización de los materiales que contienen asbestos a los que ellos puedan estar expuestos o con los que puedan tener contacto. Todos los trabajadores a corto plazo estarán en contacto con a la persona del mantenimiento del plomo antes de comenzar el trabajo. El distrito escolar de Waukesha tiene una lista de las localizaciones y los tipos de asbesto que contienen los materiales en el edificio, una descripción y fechas de mantenimiento. Una copia del plan del distrito para manejar asbestos está disponible en la oficina de la escuela. Copias del plan están disponibles a veinticinco (25) centavos por página. Deseamos seguir por completo las regulaciones de AHERA. Es nuestra meta para poder mantener un ambiente seguro y saludable para nuestros estudiantes y nuestros miembros de personal. Esto será logrado si seguimos estrictamente las regulaciones mencionadas en el plan con respecto al asbesto que nos ha dado la persona designada al plan de asbesto y los funcionarios de la escuela. El distrito escolar de Waukesha también requiere que todos los materiales nuevos de construcción en el distrito escolar de Waukesha estén libres del asbesto. Para todos los nuevos edificios/adiciones, el arquitecto responsable del diseño certifica que no se utilizan materiales que contengan asbesto de los que el este enterado. Si se adquieren los nuevos edificios, serán examinados también. El año pasado, el distrito escolar de Waukesha completo la vigilancia de seis meses de los materiales que todavía tienen asbesto. El retiro de asbesto se ha conducido en cooperación con las actividades en curso de la construcción en: Escuela primaria de Banting Escuela primaria de Blair Escuela primaria de Hawthorne Escuela primaria de Heyer Escuela primaria de Lowell Escuela primaria de Prairie Escuela de Harvey Philip Escuela Secundaria de South Mr. Glen Norder Persona designada a casos de asbesto 262-970-4311 3 BOOK STORE HOURS The Book Store is open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings LOWELL SPIRIT NIGHTS PTO EVENTS Tuesday, October 14- CULVER’S 2600 N.

Hello Lowell Parents and Students!! My name is Alicia Witte and I am the Physical Education student teacher at Lowell for the first quarter of the 2014-2015 school year. I am currently finishing up my Bachelor’s Degree in Physical and Health Education with a certification in Specially Designed P.E. and I will be graduated in December of this year. A little about myself: I am originally from Arlington Heights, IL but have recently moved to Waukesha this past March. I love being active, spending time with my friends and family, and going to Brewer Games. I have a fairly large family with 6 siblings and I am right in the middle as the third oldest. I also have a black Scottish Terrier named Cubby who always greets you with a snorting smile. I love Starbucks coffee and my favorite sport to play is volleyball. Lowell is such a unique and diverse environment to learn and grow from. I am so happy and thankful to have the opportunity to be a part of it! I hope that everyone has a fun and memorable school year! Go Leopards!!! 12 OCTOBER 2014 Monday Tuesday WATCH FOR THE MARCUS MOVIE TICKET SALE IN NOVEMBER!
