LMS Family Update

Greetings Lockerman Families,

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! We are so excited to welcome our Wildcats back to school tomorrow. Our staff has been busy preparing for a great start and a successful school year for all! Middle school is such a unique and critical time in our students' lives. As pre-teens and early teens start exploring opportunities to be independent, your support and guiderails from the adults in their lives are so important. Middle school is a great time to build strong habits, and that is what you will hear echoed from our team this year because Middle School Matters! Let's start strong together!

As always, please reach out if we can be of assistance. We look forward to working together this year!

Car riders and walkers should be dropped off no earlier than 7:15. Supervision is limited until 7:25. Please follow crossing instructions and do not walk or congregate on the neighbors' property. Students can gather at the town park entrance and wait to cross at the crosswalk.

We dismiss in 3 waves beginning at 2:28. Walkers and car riders are dismissed at approximately 2:35.

Please allow extra time the first week of school.

Students will be issued a cell phone pouch on the first day of school in homeroom. Cell phones and wireless earbuds are to be locked in the pouch upon entering the building each day, and remain locked until dismissal.

Your child can also bring their completed flyer with cash or check on Picture Day. Orders after Picture Day must be placed online only on mylifetouch.com.

We are pleased to be partnering with Mid Shore Mediation again this year. Their Peace Team offers peer mediation on an as needed basis. Staff may make referrals to the team as conflicts arise, or students can self-refer. Please return the attached opt out form if you prefer your child not access these services.

Set the tone now for a successful school year. An absence here and there adds up. Now is the time to build good school attendance habits.

Please email absence notes to Mrs. Nesselroad at nesselroad.jennifer@ccpsstaff.org

Choptank Health joins us in welcoming your family to the 2025-2026 school year, with a reminder to set your students up for a healthy, successful year by ensuring they are enrolled in our School-Based Health Center.

School-Based Health Centers function like a typical doctor’s office, with medical providers assessing and diagnosing illness, writing prescriptions, performing lab tests—including for strep, influenza, and

Covid—and physicals including routine well visits and sports physicals. Dental services include screenings, cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatment, and emergency visits.

Appointments can be made by calling your student’s health center at 667-238-8050. It’s never too late to help your child enjoy a healthy school year by enrolling them in School-Based Health.

Use these links to enroll your student in School-Based Health, with more information also at
