Changes of address may not be made through Family File. If you have recently moved to or from the Longfellow area, please contact us or your new school as soon as possible.
Also, please take a moment to view all of the benefits of our Free and Reduced Meals program. Even if your child does not require free or reduced meal prices, there are a number of benefits available for families. Completed applications can ultimately support all of our students through Title I funding and resources. You can learn more about the program and apply here.
Did you know that Longfellow has a food pantry that provides food and other necessities to our very own Longfellow Families? We opened the LoES Community Cupboard at the end of last school year and also made the pantry available to our families throughout the summer.
We are currently taking donations to restock our food and supplies. Please consider donating any non-perishable items to the pantry. We are in particular need of toiletries (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, toilet paper), cereal and snack items (granola bars, fruit snacks, etc…). All items can be sent to the front office, marked “food pantry”.
The LoES School Improvement Team is looking for parents to serve as parent representatives on the School Improvement Team. Meetings will take place on Friday mornings at 8:00am approximately one time per month. Please click HERE to indicate your interest in serving on this committee.
Our student arrival window each morning is 8:35 - 8:55 AM. Our students enter the building beginning at 8:40. We have noticed an increase in the number of students, especially our walkers, arriving before our staff reports to arrival duty at 8:35. Thank you for your help in ensuring our students arrive between 8:35 and 8:55 AM.
Longfellow ES and the Howard County Public School System has several social media sites. The sites include:
“The HCPSS is excited to become a part of the already active Howard County social media presence,” Superintendent Renee A. Foose said. “Social media is increasingly a primary source of information. The use of these channels by our system and schools will allow for more constant, and two-way communication with our parents and community members.”
