Middle school is a trying time for our students, and many struggle with navigating adolescent development. Many of those challenges include fitting in by wearing current, fashionable clothing and garments. While the administration at the middle school understands that clothing is an integral part of self-expression, we ask that all of our students wear clothing suitable for school. As the weather gets warmer, please keep this in mind as your child dresses for school. We want to ensure that our school is an appropriate place for learning. Links to our student handbook regarding dress code can be found here (on page 12).

Dear 8th Grade Parents- Exciting News! We're gearing up for the 8th Grade Carnival and we need your help to make it a great event. Do you have any lawn games, like cornhole, bocce, ladder ball or a giant Connect 4? If so, we'd love to borrow them for the day to add to the fun. We promise to take good care of them and return them to you right after the carnival. If you are able to help out, please let us know. You can email us at lcjsmsptoinfo@gmail.com.
