Dear Spartans

Fresh Start - MP2

It is hard to imagine that today marks the end of the first marking period. With this being said, the start of the second marking period provides students with a new start.

As always, we encourage students to be in school everyday, when healthy. Gradebooks are reset and students can focus on assignments and tasks in front of them.

Morning Drop Off / After School Pick Up

A few reminders:

*Students should be ready to exit when the passenger side of the vehicle is on the school side of the building. You do not have to wait until the vehicle is directly in front of the main entrance.

*The Bus Loop is not available for drop off until after 7:15 am. LPS Transportation needs to have unobstructed access and use to maintain their schedules.

*The Church is not a point of parking, drop off, or pick up.

* The Traffic Light is motion activated. If you are the first car in line, please pull up to the cross walk, as this will activate the sensors.

As always, your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
