The energy in the building is palpable as we kick off the first full week of the 2017-18 school year. Our students and staff are ready to dig in and set the stage for a very successful semester and school year. Thank you for your support in making the start of the year fantastic and we appreciate your continued support throughout the year by maintaining open communication, offering input, and having your student in school, one time, every day, ready to learn.
One of the things we accomplished during our recent professional development was creating a definition for our ideal school community. As we cultivate and maintain a culture of respect and excellence at LMS, it's important the we are all on the same page when it comes to the school community we desire. Staff members collaborated to develop a definition for our ideal school community. The words in the picture below make up that definition. The larger the word, the more times it showed up during the activity. We will use this image as a visual clue to act in a way that supports a student-centered community with high expectations for all.
All LMS families are cordially invited to back to school night on Tuesday, August 29th from 5:30-7:00 pm. At this time, you will be able to rotate through your student's schedule and learn about each of their classes and meet their teachers. Due to space limitations in our classrooms, we ask that students do not attend. Here is the schedule for Back to School night.
Tuesday, August 29th is also picture day at LMS. Students were given packets in their planners when they picked up their schedules. You can also order pictures online. The picture day ID for ordering online is CG217395Y0. All students will have their pictures taken on Tuesday.
There have been some updates to the Food Service Meal Charge Policy. Please review the information below and contact the school if you have any questions.
- When a student’s balance reaches $0.00, no ala carte charges will be allowed, only regular breakfasts or lunches can be charged beyond $0.00.
- If a child is properly on free or reduced status but has a negative balance they will continue to be served regular meals as normal. Letters from the food service office will continue to be sent in an attempt to collect the deficit balance.
- Full Pay deficit accounts over $100 will be subject to being sent to collections. The collection process will start with a certified letter from the business manager to the parents indicating that they must set up a payment plan with the food service office within two weeks of the letter or their accounts will be sent to the collections agency.
- If no payment plan is set up or if the parents fail to follow the payment plan, their account information will be sent to the collection agency for that organization to collect the balance.
