Greetings LMS Staff,

Welcome to November! 🍂 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.

Scholar Support Referral & Progressive Discipline

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. This tool is designed to provide clarity and consistency in how we address student behaviors across classrooms and common areas. Please take some time to review the flow chart and keep it accessible for reference when managing behavior situations. Our goal is to ensure that all staff are aligned in expectations and responses so that students experience fairness, consistency, and support in every setting.If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you for your continued efforts in supporting a safe and productive campus environment.
