Reminder: Food Deliveries Reminder: Food Deliveries

zoom_out_map

From the Lanier Middle School Student Handbook

Student Deliveries and Visitors

Fast food, specialty drinks and celebratory foods/items are not appropriate items for delivery as these create disruptions to instruction and the orderly operation of the school. Deliveries from food delivery services (i.e., UberEats, Door dash, and Grubhub) will be denied as the management of accepting such delivers on scale is not reasonable.


Thank you for your support in this matter.

Youth Empowerment Program Youth Empowerment Program

Help your teen create a feel-good reminder

Teens can be especially hard on themselves. They may think they are awkward, unintelligent, or just unattractive. Social media can make these feelings worse. To counter these negative feelings, have your teen create a special bulletin board at home. It's a place to post things that make your teen feel happy or proud: notes from friends, well-done schoolwork, a ticket stub from a school plays your teen had a role in. The board is a reminder that when it comes to self-image, the only "likes" that matter are your teen's.
