A reminder to all families regarding our AMI (Alternative Method of Instruction) procedures in the event we have weather-related school closures this winter. On AMI days, district communication will be sent to families and staff announcing that all school classes will take place virtually, along with reminders for students regarding how to access instructional materials.

• Every teacher will use the Schoology platform to share lessons, assignments and resources with students.
• Teachers will post assignments and learning opportunities no later than 9 a.m.
• Students are expected to access and complete assignments, meet deadlines, engage in the work and communicate with their teachers, peers or parents if they are needing assistance.

Parents please fill out the form that comes home with your student as well as enter that info into PowerSchool. Please reach out to a counselor if you have any questions!

Congratulation's to our Tigers who have been awarded grants for Robotics and Performing Arts.

Huge congratulations to Stefanie Kratz, who was recognized at yesterday’s Lee's Summit R-7 School District BOE meeting as “Volunteer of the Year!” Stefanie has been a very involved PLMS PTA leader for the past three years - building what has become a very robust Care Closet, organizing fundraisers that have brought in significant proceeds for PTA, leading concessions for Tiger Fan Days, organizing our plan for student holiday gifts, and much MUCH more. She can always be counted on to help, and goes way above and beyond. We appreciate you, Stefanie, and way to go on this well-deserved recognition!

To ensure that transportation needs are met, we ask that you follow the below processes for end-of-day transportation changes:

• If you need to communicate a transportation change with a student, please inform the main office before 3:00 p.m. This allows us time to reach your student with the message as students begin dismissing at 3:13 p.m.
• It is difficult to check students out between 3:00 p.m. and 3:15p.m., as many activities occur during Advisory at the end of the day, and students often move between locations in the building. Please pick up your student prior to 3:00 p.m. if you need to leave before 3:15 p.m. to ensure that you are not waiting or late to appointments.
• If you need a one-day bus pass for your student to ride home with a friend on a different bus - we need written permission from both families before 12:00 pm the day of to arrange this with transportation. Written permission can be emailed to kerry.davis@lsr7.net

We appreciate your help and understanding in ensuring that all of our Tigers have safe and timely dismissals.
