January Newsletter

Dear LMS Families,

Happy New Year!! I hope this letter finds everyone rested from the Holiday season. It is great to see all of the students back in the hallways of LMS. January is a busy month and the 12th also marks the end of the first semester. It is hard to believe, but we are almost half way through the school year. Please continue to monitor your child's progress through Parent Vue and encourage your child to do the same on Student Vue.

Assistant Principals Corner

LMS Families,

I hope you all enjoyed your break and were able to spend some much needed time with family and friends. As we get back into the swing of things here at LMS, there are a few things I want to bring to your attention. We will be addressing the student body within the next few weeks at their quarterly class meeting going over expectations of the school and how things are going. Please do not hesitate to talk to your children about these meetings and get their thoughts on them.

As we move along in the year, you will be hearing more and more about field trips. I would like to point out a few key reminders regarding participating in field trips this year. If a student has 2 major referrals they will not be allowed to attend. They will also not be allowed to attend if they have 5 or more minor referrals with the discretion of an administrator. We are implementing this procedure because we want our students to be making good decisions throughout the whole school year with high expectations for all. Another quick reminder regarding field trips is all of the student fines need to be paid before students are able to go on end of the year field trips. Please pay any fines you may have regarding chromebooks or any other piece of school equipment so we don't run into issues in the spring.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. I am looking forward to finishing the first semester strong!
