Important Washington DC Message
Hello families,
We are writing to remind you that the Washington DC Trip registration deadline is on January 15th. The number of students enrolled for the trip has not quite yet reached the numbers we were hoping for this close to the deadline. To help us make the decision whether to cap enrollment at one bus or extend to two buses, we were hoping you can provide us with information about your family's decision to participate in the trip.
Please help us by completing the form below. Whether you plan to register by the deadline of January 15th (7 days away) or will not be participating, your response is important and will help us plan accordingly. Please complete ASAP, by Monday 1/12 at the latest!

Middle School Students Who Are Unsupervised In The School Building After School
A reminder that LMS students who stay after school have to be given permission to do so by an adult in the building. After school help with a teacher or participating in an activity or sport is fine, but waiting to watch a sport or just hanging around is not ok. Students have been roaming in classrooms and places they shouldn't. Students will be asked to contact their parents for a ride and will receive a consequence. Thank you for your support in keeping students safe.
LMHS Health and Wellness Survey
Parent Notification
We will be conducting a Health and Wellness Survey for grades 6-12 on Tuesday January 27 though Thursday January 29. The questions contained in this survey are designed to obtain student’s opinions about a number of health and wellness questions. This information will be used to guide the health curriculum for both the middle school and high school.
In order for the results to be the most accurate it is extremely important for students to be as
honest as possible on this survey. This survey is completely confidential and voluntary.
Since it is an anonymous survey NO NAMES or PERSONAL INFORMATION will be collected. Also, students may skip any questions they do not wish to answer.
If you would like to review the survey questions, please use this link: LMHS Health and Wellness Survey 2026 - Google Forms.pdf
If you have any questions or do not want your student to participate in the survey, please email:
Katie McGuire RN @ kmcguire@lunenburgschools.net

Washington DC
Dear 8th Grade Families and Students,
Washington D.C. enrollment is still open; however, the deadline to enroll is January 15th. The price increases by $100 after January 15th, so I hope many of you will take advantage of registering before then. We have already filled one bus and are looking to fill the second one with students excited about visiting our nation’s Capital!
We know as the holiday season approaches, everyone gets busier and busier and our focus tends to shift in other directions. We want to encourage you to please register for the trip as soon as possible, since the deadline is January 15th.
Enrolling now means you can take full advantage of Explorica’s personal fundraising pages!

From there, you can start sharing your page via email, text, or social media to reach your network while holiday generosity is top of mind.

Message from the LMHS Health Office
General Guidelines for School Attendance
If you have any questions or need help determining whether your child is well-enough to attend school, please call the health office before sending your child to school.
Health Protocols for Illness
Please keep your child home from school if they display any of the following symptoms:
Fever of 100 degrees or more, and until the child has had a normal temperature for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.
Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
Uncontrollable or severe cough.
Rash of unknown cause.
Signs of infection of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin or scalp.
Please follow these guidelines when determining whether or not your child is ready to return to school after having been sick.
Temperature must be normal for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.
At least 24 hours after intestinal illness (vomiting or diarrhea) has resolved.
Improvement or treatment of cough following primary care provider instructions
Improvement or treatment of rash following primary care provider instructions
Treatment of infection following primary care provider instructions for return to school.
Please remember, though your student may meet the above criteria, they may not have the energy level for return to school and full day of activity.
If your child becomes ill at school, you will be called to take them home. We understand the difficulties of working parents and ask that you make sure you are prepared for this possibility. Waiting for hours in the Health Office is very difficult for children who are not well. Current phone numbers and email addresses are essential to facilitate prompt communication with families. Families need to provide the school with reliable emergency contacts, indicating individuals who will be able to come to the school and pick up their child if they become sick during the school day. Please update and submit an Emergency Medical Form for each child, every school year. Dismissing sick children in a timely fashion is imperative for the safety of all.
Please contact your school nurse if you have any questions or concerns.
On Saturday, January 10th, clothing drive donations can be dropped off at the front of theT.C. Passios building from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Just a reminder that all donations should be placed in 13 gallon trash bags or larger.
Join the strategy games club!
All levels welcome! Learn to play or just find friends to play with. ...Magic the Gathering, Clue, chess, Settlers of Catan, Monopoly, Connect 4, and more. Feel free to bring your own games.
