The back to school dance is today. All LMS students in good standing (not serving ISS or OSS) are encouraged to attend. The dance is from 3:05-5:00 in the main gym. Admission is $5 and concessions will be available. Students attending the dance cannot ride the late bus and must be picked up or off campus by 5:15. Attendees must remain at the dance until 5:00 unless they are picked up by their parents or guardians. The first dance is always a great time. Please encourage your student to come to the gym and dance like no one’s watching.
As we move deeper into the school year, it is likely that students will need additional time and support to demonstrate their learning. Scout Learning Lab (SLL) is available to all LMS students Monday through Thursday from 3:05 to 4:00. Occasionally, like this Tuesday, SLL is canceled due to a staff meeting or other school event. Teachers are available to work with students in their classrooms from 3:05-3:30. If students need additional time to work, or need to ride the late bus, they go to the west modular from 3:30-4:00. Students can be picked up after SLL or ride the late bus. In order to ride the late bus, students must be working with a teacher right after school so they can be added to the late bus list. Students not on the late bus list will not be allowed to ride the last bus. Students attending sporting events, dances, or socializing with friends after school are not allowed on the late bus. Please encourage your student to take advantage of SLL.
Picture day was last Tuesday. Pictures can be purchased by going to mylifetouch.com and using our Picture Day ID: EVTJP4ZRM. All students had their picture taken even if they did not order pictures. Retakes are in October for students who were absent or would like the opportunity to look even better the second time around.
Our first PTO meeting of the year is on Tuesday at 6:30 PM in the LMS library. We will discuss our vision and goals for the PTO and how to best involve as many people as possible. A Zoom broadcast will be available as well. Use this link and the passcode 668101 to participate via Zoom. All LMS families are encouraged to participate in the PTO. Even if you can’t make it to our first meeting, please take this survey to help us make our PTO an effective vehicle for collaboration and two way communication.
The year is flying by and our students are doing a great job. Please remember that while we have tools such as Canvas and SLL to help students who are absent, there is no substitute for the excellent first time instruction our teachers and staff deliver every day. Being in school is critical for student success. Please strive for 5 or less absences for the school year. This will put your student in a prime position to be successful. Let’s make it a great week!
