Week of August 31

It's going to be a great week at LMS.  Tuesday is the first virtual day for A cohort students and Wednesday will be the first virtual day for B cohort students.  All classes will be on Canvas this year and students can access all of the necessary resources for learning through Classlink.  This is helpful because everything is in one place and students only have to log in once.  Students who didn't receive their Chromebooks last week will get them this week as long as their online registration is complete.  

We are hosting virtual back to school night on Wednesday.  LMS staff have created welcome videos that will be posted on the faculty and staff page on the LMS website.  We will also be live on the LMS Facebook page from 6:00-7:00 to talk about the start of the school year and answer questions.  

Blended learning presents unique challenges and opportunities for students and families.  If you want to learn a bit more about Classlink, Canvas, or other tools there are two main places to go.  The student resources page on the district website is a great place to start.  The technology help center has a lot of helpful information as well.  We're all learning together and we're here to help you and your student be successful.  

Students are encouraged to come in on Friday mornings from 8:00-11:00 for extra support or enrichment activities.  Students need to sign up with their teachers in advance.  If they need to ride the bus, students need to be on the list by the end of the day on Wednesdays.  Students sign up by talking with the teacher(s) they will be working with.  Teachers may also sign up students who they feel would benefit.  Students who do not need to come in for extra support on Fridays are to work remotely on any activities posted to Canvas they still need to complete or activities assigned in class not yet completed.  If students are current on their learning, they are available to do all of things at home that you'd like them to do. 

Picture day is coming up on Monday, September 14th for A cohort students and Tuesday, September 15th for B cohort students.  CBVI students can come in on Tuesday from 1:30-2:30 for pictures.  CBVI students should enter the back gym directly through the door on the bus lane.  CBVI students, please do not come to the front door for pictures.  We will not be handing out picture packets to students.  You can order pictures by going to mylifetouch.com.  Our picture day ID is EVT4PJ2VR.
