Week of January 8

The elementary schools will be dismissing early this Friday, January 12th.  The middle school will not be dismissing early on Friday.  We will follow our normal 'all' schedule on the 12th.  We understand that it can be confusing and inconvenient when schools have different schedules as many families have students at multiple schools.  Early releases give elementary teachers the time they need to develop and implement effective instruction.  Please plan on your middle school student being in school all day on Friday.  Their attendance is important to their learning.

The LMS PTO will meet on Wednesday, January 10th at 5:30 pm in the LMS cafeteria. All LMS families are cordially invited.  The PTO is very active in supporting programming at the middle school and we would love it if you could join us on Wednesday night.  We will be discussing events coming up in the Spring semester such as the Happiness 5K and Teacher Appreciation Week and fundraising efforts including Safeway cards and LMS apparel.

There will be no school for students on Monday, January 15th.  Staff have professional development that day.  School will resume on Tuesday, January 16th.  We will follow our 'odd' schedule on the 16th.

The first semester ends on Friday, January 19th.  Final grades will be calculated by 8:00 am on the 24th.  Report cards will be mailed on out on Friday, January 26th.  Students who earn failing grades may be required to attend summer school in June. There is still time for students to demonstrate their learning.  We have Scout Learning Lab (SLL) every day after school from 3:00-3:30.  We will also have Saturday SLL on the 13th from 8:00-11:00. If your student needs some extra time and support, please contact their teachers to schedule a time for them to attend SLL.
