LCMS Weekly Newsletter

What a great first FULL week back to school! We’ve been seeing some great things happening in the classrooms from fun edible plate tectonic labs in Science to the pacer test in PE and scavenger hunts for textual evidence in Reading Language Arts. We are looking forward to much more and hope everyone has a great weekend.

Sincerely,

Jess McReynolds, Cathy Barnhill, Tracye McCallister, Jeffrey Thompson

As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, LCMS has made two minor changes to the after school student pick up process. First, students will only be allowed to exit the building through the main entrance (north) and the cafeteria (south). Second, parents will not be allowed to park on the east side of State Highway Loop 493 for student pick up. The safest places to pick up students are in the pick up lines on the north side and south side of the campus including the parking lot between LCMS and South Elementary. We appreciate your understanding and support of student safety.
