A Word from your Principals:
Dear Tombaugh Families:
We want to take a moment to reassure you that the safety and well-being of your children are our top priorities. Our staff is committed to maintaining a secure environment, and we have implemented a variety of safety protocols, including regular drills, secure building access, and close supervision during school hours. The district is currently updating our security cameras at Tombaugh and also working to ensure our campus staff is properly trained in emergency readiness.
We ask for your continued support by reinforcing safety rules with your children and keeping us informed of any concerns. ALL VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL MUST CHECK IN ON OUR SYSTEM! We ask for you to never attempt to enter the building through any other door other than our front door - even after school hours. Together, we can create a safe and positive learning space for all students.
Thank you for your trust and partnership.
Lisa Wilson - Principal / lmanes@lcps.net

Attendance Matters
Attendance for Success
Across the country, more than 8 million students are missing so many days of school that they are academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences and suspensions, can translate into third-graders unable to master reading, sixth-graders failing subjects and ninth-graders dropping out of high school.
NO DISMISSAL CHANGES AFTER 2:00
