Week of January 27

The second semester is picking up steam.  Report cards will be mailed out today, so families should have them on Wednesday.  First semester grades can also be viewed online.  It was a fantastic first half of the school year and we're looking to build on that success in the second semester.  Thank you for your continued support and feedback.  We are running an unique schedule this week to accommodate Days of Understanding. Students will have four block days (even, odd, even, odd) starting today and well finish the week with our 'all' schedule on Friday. 

Days of Understanding is being facilitated by renowned motivational speaker Keith Hawkins for all LMS students.  Keith is an international speaker that speaks and conducts programs to over 400,000 students, parents, educators, leaders, and businesses annually.  The purpose of Days of Understanding is to create and sustain a culture of connection, empathy, success, inclusiveness, appreciation and respect at LMS.  Students attended an assembly today and will participate in one, two hour session facilitated by student leaders later in the week.  Part of the experience during the Day of Understanding is the power of parenting community night from 6:00-7:00 pm on Wednesday, January 29th.  All LMS families are encouraged to attend.  

Many students eat breakfast and lunch at LMS.  Please keep an eye on your student's account balance.  We try to keep families informed when balances become negative.  With the availability of a la carte options, students can go through their lunch funds quickly.  If you have question about your student's lunch balance, or need assistance with the free and reduced lunch application, please contact the school.
