Lothrop Middle School students are selling basket raffle tickets to raise money for their field trip to Boston. Tickets are $1 each or $5 for six tickets.

Please see below for info on each basket. Feel free to share this Basket Raffle Newsletter with family and friends who are far away. They can see all the baskets right here and let you know which ones they want to bid on.

The raffle is also open during parent conferences on March 14 and 20 in the Library at school. We will pick winners on Friday, March 29. Please return all tickets (filled out please) and money to school before then. You do not have to be present to win, we will contact all winners.

MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO "LOTHROP SCHOOL." Please indicate "5/6 Trip" in the Memo Line.

Checks are appreciated, one big check for all cash received is wonderful.

The schedule for the upcoming VTCAP test is listed below for grades third through 6th. Please make sure your child is well rested and fed in anticipation on their day of testing. Thank you!

Your child’s attendance is crucial to their success in school. We understand that not all family experiences can be scheduled during normal school vacations. Given that, please be aware of the attendance procedures listed below when considering scheduling a family vacation outside of the normal school vacation times.

A maximum of ten (10) cumulative lawful absences verified by parental notification may be permitted during a school year. All absences beyond ten (10) cumulative days shall require official documentation.

Should your child accumulate more than 10 lawful absences we will ask for doctor’s documentation, a conversation with the nurse that results in an excused absence or other official documentation as approved by the school for future absences. Absences without medical documentation or approved by the school will be considered unexcused.

Please contact your school principal with any questions or concerns in reference to this matter.

A BIG thank you to the PTO for donating picnic tables to our playground area!

If your child will not be at school or will be late to school for any reason, please call 802-483-2242 to notify us.

Please keep your child home for at least 24 hours if they have:

1. Fever over 100.0 F (without Tylenol or Ibuprofen)

2. Vomiting

3. Diarrhea

Please also keep them home if they have:

4. Unidentified Rash

5. Uncontrolled Cough

{If your child requires Tylenol or Ibuprofen in the morning, it may be best to keep them home for the day.}

Please reach out to Melanie Parker, School Nurse if you have any questions or concerns.
