Two Safety & Security Issues Affecting Schools
The SMCPS Safety and Security Department wanted to inform you of the following school issues.
- The first is a new TikTok challenge regarding electrical outlets. Firefighters have issued warnings about the resurgence of this dangerous challenge. We have already experienced damage to our outlets and light fixtures here at LMS. We are asking for your assistance on the home front to speak to the boys and girls about the dangers to themselves and others.
- The second is Flipper Zero. This device is noted on TikTok and several other sites as the hacker's Swiss Army Knife. It can hack Wifi, create spoof networks, clone car keys, garage door openers, and interfere with cell phones.

Marking Period 2 Academic Bowl Information
LMS will host its first-ever Academic Bowl during the second marking period. The Academic Bowl ends on January 26, 2024! During this time, we will be encouraging students to have a strong work ethic, earn good grades, and engage in healthy competition. We ask for your assistance on the home front.
Grade-level teams will compete to be the team with the least total Fs. Each week of the marking period, the team with the least Fs will earn a Jaguar Paw on their team’s trophy poster, which will be displayed in the main lobby. The team with the most Jaguar Paws in their trophy will earn bragging rights, an Academic Bowl Champion t-shirt, and a delicious treat at the end of the marking period.
