MNPS School Options Information

YOU HAVE OPTIONS!

Families living in the Nashville metropolitan area have more than 160 public schools available to them in their neighborhoods and nearby communities. Metro Schools offer a wide variety of unique academic programs, supports, and extracurricular activities in locations that span the city so that every student has access to the tools they need to be successful.

Your child is unique and we are prepared to work with that. We at Metro Schools have the infrastructure and resources to accommodate any set of needs that your child might have. You will likely spend significant time searching for the right school, or the right programs for you child, and we are here to help! Partnering with you and your family, we will strive to provide your child with the educational experience they need in order to graduate prepared to be successful in college, the professional world, and in life.

The school choice application process for the 2019-20 school year should begin in January 2019. The later start date will allow the district and school board time to finalize plans for MNPS Next and will allow families more time to apply before the random selection process. This change will benefit families and will allow more time for families to prepare for the application process. This change is also consistent with the recommendation from the School Choice Transition Team to “extend the application period for the school choice process." 

If you have any questions please feel free to email schooloptions@mnps.org.

Lounge Lizards Sign Ups!

We are so lucky to have such dedicated teachers and staff at Lockeland! Let's show our "love" by bringing treats to the teacher's lounge on Fridays throughout the school year. 

The process is simple: Sign up to bring a sweet or savory treat to the lounge on a Friday that works for your schedule and then deliver the items to the lounge during drop off.

HELP WANTED - Library Volunteers

Hello! Welcome (or welcome back) to LDC for the 2018-2019 school year! 

By now, many of you have probably noticed how busy the library gets every morning at Lockeland. The kids are so excited to read, and Ms. D keeps a steady flow of new books coming in to spark interest in even the most reluctant readers. Our library has one of the highest circulation rates in the district! 

To keep the library running smoothly, volunteers are essential. Our school is too small to have a budgeted library clerk position, which means Ms. DeFrancisco not only teaches classes to each and every student each week, but she is also responsible for all check in, check out, shelving, assisting students in finding books and planning the wonderful reading events our school has throughout the year. She can't do it all alone!

If each volunteer could commit to one morning per week, Ms. D would have the support she needs to serve the students to the high level of excellence we've come to expect throughout the years. We can't do it without you!

No experience necessary, just sign up for a slot and show up! We can show you how to do the rest.  You can sign up here --> https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090b44afad29a13-septemberoctober

Questions? Email angelfunk@mac.com or Tanner.Defrancisco@mnps.org. Thank you!

If you are unable to come in to help due to work schedules or other conflicts, we are always in need of treasure box items: pencils, erasers, small notebooks, puzzle books, small toys, etc.
