Winter break is rapidly approaching. We have a festive week ahead with a concert, a dance, and many exciting learning opportunities. Thank you for helping us make the most of it by delaying your winter break plans until after school is dismissed on Friday. These days really do matter. Our most recent attendance newsletter can be found here.
The holidays are a great time to reflect and connect with those we care about. You can use the following conversation to jumpstart the process. Describe this year in three words. Why did you choose those words? What is one thing you want to learn to do next year? What is your favorite memory from this year?
Our Holiday Dance is Thursday from 3:05-5:00 in the LMS gym. All LMS students in good standing (not serving ISS or OSS) are encouraged to attend. Admission is $5 and concessions will be available. Students attending the dance must provide their own transportation and they need to be picked by 5:15. Once a student has entered the dance, they cannot leave before 5:00 unless their caregiver is at the school to pick them up. We hope all of our students will come and show their holiday spirit at the dance this week.
Our away for the day policy applies to cell phones, tablets, earbuds, and smart watches. These items need to be powered down and stored in lockers from the time students enter the building until 3:05. We are seeing more students bringing tablets and their Chromebooks to class. While students can provide their own device, that needs to be in place of their Chromebook, not in addition to. Students cannot bring a personal device and their school device to class. If students wish to use a personal device, it must have the same functionality as the school device (i.e. a keyboard). We strongly recommend that students use the Chromebook provided by the school.
A few final housekeeping items for your information before the break. We will be cleaning out the lost and found at the end of the week. Please have your student look for their missing items before the end of the school day on Friday. There will be no Scout Learning Lab, after school activities, or late bus on Wednesday due to a staff meeting. All students should go directly home after school on the 18th and students must be off campus by 3:15.
Thank you very much for your continued support and feedback as we close out 2024. This year has been filled with joy, growth, and teamwork. We are looking forward to an even better year in 2025. We wish you a safe and joyous holiday.
