On December 13th, we will be providing an assembly for our students titled "NEIDS" (Nurses Educating on Illegal Drugs and Synthetics). The assembly is presented by UMC. Sixth and half of seventh graders will participate at 1:00. The remaining half of seventh and all of eighth graders will participate at 2:15. The assembly will demonstrate the realities of drug abuse as witnessed by actual ER nurses. If, for whatever reason you wish to opt your student out of the assembly, please fill out the form from the link below. The form will need to be completed by 8:00 am on Monday, December 12th so we can make alternative arrangements for your student.

Criteria to exempt semester finals and testing dates are listed below. Exemption forms will be handed to students on December 12th to start obtaining signatures. Please remember that all fines must be paid to be considered for exemption, alongside all other criteria. You can view fines in the "fees" section of skyward.

NJHS wants to thank the LBMS community for raising $900 from last week's hat/pajama days. Christmas toys have been purchased and will soon be delivered to Women's Protective Services of Lubbock.

Special guests from our local VFW Post visited LBMS last week to present awards to our Patriot's Pen Essay Contest winners! Congratulations to the following:

Amber Son - 1st Place

Keighton Mills - 2nd Place

Lily Blann - 3rd Place

Please assist us in making sure that students are in dress code at all times prior to arriving at school. As we move closer to the holiday's and time away from school, we want to make sure that consistency is upheld to avoid any unnecessary frustrations. Below are a few potential "hotspots" to be mindful of:

• Hair color must be a naturally occurring color
• Students are not permitted to wear pajamas to school
• Students are not permitted to wear hats inside any campus buildings (campus-approved hat days, dress-up days, etc. are the exception to this rule)
• Leggings, tights, yoga pants, or similar pants are permitted so long as they are accompanied with an approved top that is within the width of three fingers from the top of the knee.

We have several signs throughout the building that say "Best is the STANDARD." As discussed on the second day of school, this slogan is applicable to every aspect of life. Whether it's studying, competing, helping others, cleaning, behaving positively, or anything else, we want students to do their absolute BEST. If their mindset is "Best is the STANDARD," great things are going to happen!!

This school year, we will implement a new way for parents/guardians to submit absences. This process will allow absence requests to be submitted ahead of time in Skyward. Please click the button below to learn how.

****If you are only checking your child out for a short period of time, such as a doctor's appointment, please unselect the check mark where "all day" is indicated. This will allow you to enter a specific time frame.****

Some of the businesses directly east of LBMS have asked for help with a few things:

1. Please don't use their lots as a place for student pick-up or drop-off.

2. If your student isn't going to be a paying customer, they do not need to be there for the sake of hanging out or waiting for a ride.

Let's do our part as a Pirate community to help these businesses out.

Mrs Baird's Bread and United Supermarkets have announced the return of the Teachers On The Rise program for the 2022-23 school year.

This student/family nominated program honors three local teachers every month. Teachers have such a tremendous impact on students every day, and these are the stories Mrs. Baird's wants to hear about! Nominate your favorite teacher at www.MrsBTeacher.com!

Parents/Guardians may bring a lunch for their students. Lunches can be dropped off in the front office and students will be allowed to pick-up their food when they are dismissed for lunch.

**Due to security concerns, no outside entity (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Favor, Pizza delivery, Chick-Fil-A, etc.) will be allowed to drop off lunches for students.
