MOST schools send home letters warning parents about the flu or a lice outbreak.
But this time the warning was about Lindsay Lohan.
Parents picking up their tots from the Duffield Children’s Center nursery school in Brooklyn were handed a letter this week informing them that the fading starlet will begin a community-service stint at the school.
But don’t worry, she’ll “never be left alone” with the kids.
“Ms. Lohan has asked to return to complete her community services and may be placed in a classroom with your child,” wrote Ivonne Lopez, the centre’s early-childhood education director.
“As with any volunteer, this would be under constant supervision from the classroom teacher and Duffield staff. Please know that all requirements for this volunteer work will be met, prior to her entering the classroom. Furthermore, volunteers are never left alone with children.”
Lohan still has to do almost all of her 125 hours of court-ordered community service, from a 2012 car crash near Los Angeles. She pleaded guilty to reckless driving and lying to police.
The trainwreck actress’s name is synonymous with bad behaviour.
Her rap sheet includes reckless driving, driving under the influence, drug possession and stealing a necklace from a jewellery store.
Lohan has been sentenced to jail five times, ordered to work in the LA morgue and sent to court-mandated rehab several times.
So before Lohan sits down at the school for finger painting or story time, administrators wanted to let parents know and reminded mothers and fathers, “[You] may come to observe your child at any time.”
“I think it’s good they’re letting us know,” said Della Clark, whose granddaughter attends the centre.
“As long as she doesn’t come here under the influence, I’m fine with it. I hope she comes here to do something nice for the children.”
Shari Cheeks said she would call in after she drops off her 3-year-old daughter just to make sure everything is fine.
“Everybody has had their ups and downs and has had their trouble,” Cheeks said. “I don’t think she’s terrible.”
“I have mixed feelings,” said Yahira Fuentes, 29, whose 5-year-old son attends the centre.
“I wonder why she chose this place. My major concern was what will happen to my son. He’s a little wild, and she’s had her issues.”
