Yarbro families, please be on the lookout for communication from your child's teacher that will have your appointment for parent teacher conferences.

The High School STUCO will host a trunk or treat on Avenue K, in front of the auditorium from 5:00-8:00 PM (or until goodies run out). SkillsUSA will have a spooky space in the auditorium lobby.

Parent square is designed to keep Wildcat families informed, while encouraging communication between parents and school. Please download the app to receive information from the district.

Parents our district has a use of electronics policy in the student handbook, this includes cell phones, headphones and smart watches. Please take a few minutes to review the handbook by clicking the image to the left.

Stay informed with your child's success. Please download the app to receive real time information related to your child's academics and attendance.

Please be advised the LMS Student Dress Policy J-2361 Regulation has been approved by the LMS Board of Education to contain the following language:

However, student behavior and academic expectations are influenced by dress and grooming. Therefore, the following requirements for student dress District-wide (Pre-kindergarten through grade twelve [PK-12]) shall be based upon the following principles ...

The updated language has been added to the Student Handbook.

Many parents ask, “When is my child sick enough to stay home from school?”

This is not always an easy question to answer! We hope that these tips can help!

A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff. We suggest making a plan for childcare ahead of time so you will not be caught without a comforting place for your child to stay if he/she is ill.

Our school guidance states that you should not send your child to school if he/she has:

• Fever in the past 24 hours ***If your child has a fever, please DO NOT medicate your child and send them to school***
• Active vomiting (more than twice in a day) in the past 24 hours
• Diarrhea in the past 24 hours
• Chills
• Cough-A child with deep or uncontrollable coughing belongs at home even without a fever.
• Strep Throat (must have been taking an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school)
• Bad cold, with a very runny nose or bad cough, especially if it has kept the child awake at night
• Head lice – until your child has been treated according to the nurse or doctor’s instructions

If your child becomes ill at school and the teacher or school nurse feel the child is too sick to benefit from school or is contagious to other children, you will be called to come and take him/her home from school. It is essential that your child’s school has a phone number where you can be contacted during the day and an emergency number in the event you cannot be reached. Please be sure that arrangements can be made to transport your child home from school and that childcare is available in case of illness. If your daytime or emergency phone number changes during the year, please notify your child’s school immediately.

If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse.

Thank you!

Having daily conversations with your child allows you to be a part of a great season in their lives. Below are some conversation starters to ask your child:

• "What made you laugh today?”
• “Which subject was your favorite today?”
• “What was the best part of your day?”
• “Who did you sit with at lunch today?”
• “What was the most interesting thing you learned today?”
• “What did you like most about school today?”
