STUCO encourages students to dress to the theme "Blackout" for this Falcon Fan Day, which just means you dress in all black.

Please ensure you give the office up to 10 minutes to call your child out of class and up to the office. To ensure a timely pick-up and to avoid congestion in the car rider lane, we suggest that parents come to pick-up prior to 3pm.

At SLMS students are expected to complete all assignments on time and submit on the date they are due. Homework is given as practice to assure that students are building the necessary skills to master course objectives. We believe that meaningful work should be completed prior to taking any assessment. Our goal is to ensure that all students are reaching the desired grade-level standards that have been established for each course.

Students will have a set amount of passes for missing/incomplete homework per subject. When all passes have been used for that subject area, students will be assigned a before or after-school Homework Center. This is an opportunity to complete missing homework and get help from teachers. Students should report to the LMC with missing assignments to work on when assigned to the Homework Center.

Homework Center Hours: Location Room 510

• AM: Wednesday & Thursday (7:35-8:05)

• AM: Friday (8:30-9:15)

In the case that your student is absent during a test in a class, they will be given the opportunity to take the test in the Testing Center. This is a proctored environment to provide the student with an ideal testing environment.

Testing Center Hours:

• AM: Monday & Wednesday (7:35-8:05)

• Monday - Rm 122

• Wednesday - Rm 122

• AM: Friday (8:30-9:15) - Rm 510

As fall allergies increase, and illnesses along with cooler weather and outdoor activities, the health room would like you to send your students prepared. Your student is always welcome to carry a water bottle and lozenges with them in the building. We are unfortunately unable to provide every student with water bottles and lozenges, so it is best to send these items with your student daily. We have multiple water filling stations throughout the building, so a reusable water bottle is a great investment!

In order to ensure that transportation needs are met, we ask that you follow the below processes for end of day transportation changes:

• If you need to communicate a transportation change with a student, we ask that you notify the main office prior to 3:00pm. This allows us time to reach your student with the message, as students begin dismissing at 3:13pm.
• It is difficult to check students out between 3:00pm-3:15pm, as many activities occur during Advisory at the end of the day, and students are often moving between locations in the building. In order to ensure that you are not waiting, or late to appointments - please pick up your student prior to 3:00pm if you need to leave before 3:15pm.
• If you need a one-day bus pass for your student to ride home with a friend on a different bus - we need written permission from both families prior to 1:30pm the day of in order to arrange this with transportation. Written permission can be emailed to riley.barnes@lsr7.net

We appreciate all your help and understanding in helping to ensure that all of our Falcons have a safe and timely dismissal.
