Week of September 4

We are off to a great start at LMS and another fun filled week is on tap. Our first dance is this Friday, from 3-5:00.  All LMS students in good standing are encouraged to attend.  Students are in good standing if they are not serving ISS or OSS on Friday.  Only LMS students are allowed to attend dances. Our dances are held in the main gym. Admission is $4.00.  If you would like to chaperone, please call Kevin at 721-4430.

Families need to complete the online registration (formerly known as infosnap) each year.  If you have more than one student who attends school in the District, you need to complete it for each student. One reason for this is to make sure we have all of your student's contact and emergency information correct.  Families also give permission for students to access District technology and appear in publications, such as the yearbook, in the online registration process.  If you do not complete the online registration for your student, they may be prevented from accessing technology, appearing in the yearbook, or traveling on school sponsored trips, including activities.  Please use this link to complete the online registration and contact Mary Jo in the main office if you have questions or require assistance.

Now that we've been in school for a few weeks, students have learned their schedules and developed a routine for traveling through the building.  Starting today, we will be tracking tardies for disciplinary purposes.  If a student arrives to class after the bell has rung, they will be counted tardy.  If a student is tardy 5 times, they earn a lunch detention.  If a student is tardy 7 times, they earn 2 lunch detentions.  If a student is tardy 10 times, they earn some time in Saturday school.  Tardies reset every nine weeks.  Please encourage your student to be on time to class and contact a counselor if your student is unable to get to class on time.

All LMS students had their pictures taken last Tuesday.  If you would like to order pictures for your student, you still can.  Go to www.lifetouch.com and enter our picture day ID: CG218395Y0. If your student would like a retake, or missed pictures, retakes are on Tuesday, October 2nd.

The first LMS PTO meeting is this Wednesday at 5:30 in the LMS cafeteria.  All LMS families are encouraged to attend.  The PTO provides feedback and ideas on our programming.  They also support the school in various ways such as meals for conferences and by making LMS merchandise available for purchase.  All are welcome and we hope to see you there.
