Field Day is not open to parents unless you are volunteering. If you'd like to volunteer, please complete the online training (slides below) and make sure you have submitted a volunteer application (also below) this school year. If you are interested in volunteering and have not already signed up with the PTA, please email Mrs. Stannahan, strannahan.shelly@ccpsstaff.org.

PTA is looking for a new President and Treasurer for the coming school year. Please contact Michelle Berggren (shellbellocallaghan@gmail.com) if you are interested in filling one of these spots.

Emails have been sent for proof of residency. In order for students to get their 9th grade schedule a new proof of residency has to be turned in to the guidance department. Emails have been going out since the beginning of March. Please check your spam folder to see if the email has gone there. If you have not received an email please call the guidance secretary so that your email address can be updated.

Attention all 6th Graders and Parents:

The state of Maryland requires that all children be current on their immunizations. Before your child enters the 7th grade they are required to have updated Tdap and MCV vaccines (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis and Meningitis). Please check with your child’s doctor to make sure that they are up to date on all of their vaccines and provide proof of their vaccines to the school nurse. Per Maryland state law, your child will be excluded from school once they start their 7th grade year if we do not have proof of their vaccinations.

Attention parents/guardians of children with medication at school:

If your child has medication in the health room, please arrange to pick-up the medication by June 12, 2024 no later than 2:30 pm. All medicines remaining in the health room after that date will be discarded. Remember, we cannot send the medication home with your child; it must be picked up by a parent or guardian. If your child needs medication administered at school for the 2024-2025 school year, please bring the form completed by your doctor and signed by you. The medication and medication orders can be dropped off 2 days prior to the start of the next school year. As in the past, a completed form is required for all medications including such medications as Tylenol and cough drops. Required health forms can be printed from the LMS website as well as the CCPS website.

Thank you,

LMS Health Room Staff.

They also throw out malware, malicious, and virus-infested emails and protect user security. Unfortunately, spam filtering is an inexact science that at times blocks legitimate messages.
