Jobs and Extended Learning Opportunities (JELO)
Is your child looking for a job or other extended learning opportunity? Students can use their Chromebook or LPS Student Portal account to check out our electronic bulletin board by going to lps.org and typing in the keyword “JELO”. (Students must be logged in to their LPS Student Portal to view the board.)
Students in grades 6-12 will find information about a wide variety of opportunities available. This includes activities, camps, jobs and internships. We update the board every Wednesday afternoon.
2026 Summer meal information
Thanks to the federally funded program (SFSP), children can get the nutrition they need throughout the summer. Summer community meal locations are listed on the Lincoln Food Bank website with dates and times, or you can text FOOD or COMIDA to 304304, call 2-1-1, or use an interactive map located at NoKidHungry.
New version of ParentVue app now available
Edupoint, the company that brings us Synergy ParentVUE, has updated their mobile apps for both iPhone and Android. While the functionality is the same, the app looks a little different. All current and future users of the ParentVUE app will need to download the new app. Current ParentVUE users will sign in using the same login/password as is used now. If you do not yet use ParentVUE and would like to, please contact your student’s school office for an activation key.
REMINDER: School physicals
It is time to schedule your students’ school physical for next school year! All students benefit from an annual wellness exam.
Families of kindergarten and seventh grade students for the 2026-2027 school year need to provide evidence of a physical examination completed by a physician, physician assistant, or an advanced practice registered nurse to the school your child attends – or will attend. There are required immunizations needed for school that are given to kindergarteners and seventh grade students during their school physical.
All students must be current with all school required immunizations and provide proof to the school. There are many resources available and the school nurse can assist you if you have questions.
The May Family Monthly Update is now available for families. Check your email or see the latest edition on our website.
Congratulations, Class of 2026!
Check out the sights and sounds from each graduation ceremony on our special 2026 Graduation webpage.
Scores of Lincoln Southwest students are becoming familiar with kanji, hiragana and katakana in their Japanese class this year! LSW is one of the few high schools in Nebraska to offer students the opportunity to study the important language and culture. They brush up on their calligraphy skills, experience tea tasting on college campuses and correspond with pen pals in Japan each year.
Students at Rousseau Elementary School are enjoying royal moments for treating their classmates like kings and queens at school! The new Ram Fam Fancy Feast program is honoring students for displaying kindness everywhere they go. Every classroom teacher selects one Ram each month to eat lunch in a royal setting, and students are learning how kindness can have a kingdom-sized impact on everyone!
