Principal Message

Greetings LMS Staff,

Welcome to November! πŸ‚ I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Halloween weekend. As we enter this new month, our school is buzzing with the energy of focused learning as we approach the end of our second grading period. This is a critical time for scholars to demonstrate all they have learned. I encourage you to connect with your child about their schoolwork and log in to our parent portal to review their progress. November is also a month centered around gratitude. We are incredibly thankful for our wonderful students, our dedicated staff, and your continued partnership in education. Thank you for all you do to support our school community.

As part of our commitment to maintaining a positive and consistent learning environment, I am sharing the campus Student Behavior Management Flow Chart with you.
