It's hard to believe that it's almost time for winter break. Counting this week, there are only 4 weeks left in the first semester. If your student is missing work, has questions, or is earning a failing grade, we are here to help. Teachers will be available in Scout Learning Lab (SLL) after school on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday this week. A late bus is available when we have SLL. There is no SLL or late bus on Wednesday or Friday this week. Please talk with your student and their teachers to make a plan to address any academic deficiencies before the winter break so we can all start 2023 on the right foot.
TikTok, Instagram, Snap Chat, and Facebook (if you're old), what do these things have in common? They are a big part of many peoples lives including LMS students. We are restarting the LMS PTO with an in person meeting Tuesday at 6:00 pm in the LMS library. We are moving to a topic based format, and Tuesday's topic is Tween, Teens, and Social Media. All LMS families are cordially invited and we hope to see you there. These meetings will be a two way conversation between our school and families to strengthen the vital home-school connection that is crucial to student success.
At LMS we utilize tools from Capturing Kids' Hearts (CKH). You may have heard your student talk about social contracts, good things, or the four questions, which are some of the CKH tools used at our school. Capturing Kids' Hearts helps us build relationships, create and sustain a culture of respect and belonging, and build self-managing classrooms. This is the third year we've been using tools from CKH at LMS and we feel they make a difference. We'd like to know what you think. Please use this link to complete a survey and let us know how things are going. The link is pasted below as well. We value your feedback.
The Student Leadership Team has designated three dress up days to send 2022 out with a bang. Wednesday is Ugly Sweater Day, Thursday is Holiday Hat and Socks Day, and Friday is Holiday Colors Day. Please encourage your student to show their Scout Pride and holiday spirit by participating.
We have had a great first part of the school year. We are looking forward to rest, relaxation, and reflection over the winter break before we come back and finish the first semester strong. Thank you for your support, feedback, and encouragement. We enjoying working with you to support your student. Have a safe and happy winter break.
