Get Involved

At LES and LPS, we love when families are involved! If you speak another language or are learning English, we still want you to join in. You don’t need perfect English to make a big difference.

Get Involved

You can:

  • Volunteer for class or school activities when appropriate
  • Help from home with small teacher projects
  • Come to events after school or on weekends
  • Join Parent Groups
    • Lakeland Elementary PTA (Parent Teacher Association) *
    • Lakeland Prep PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) *

* These groups meet regularly and need volunteers! You can attend meetings, help plan events, and meet other parents.

Celebrate Cultures Together

  • Every September, our EL Department hosts a district-wide International Family Night. Our International Family Night is a vibrant celebration of cultures, made possible by the enthusiastic support of families like you. From sharing traditional foods and stories to volunteering as interpreters and helping with event setup, your involvement brings this wonderful event to life. Join us and be part of the fun!
  • If you're bilingual, we may need your help as an interpreter or translator, please let your EL teacher know and we will contact you. 

Help Your Child at Home

Even if you’re still learning English, here’s how you can help:

  • Read with your child, in your language or in English
  • Watch kids’ shows in English
  • Ask your child to read to you
  • Use Google Translate for homework
  • Explore educational games (see your school's website)
  • Ask a family member or friend to help with studying
  • Talk to teachers! Ask questions because we’re here to help!
