Dear Dolphin Families,
Our monthly PBIS theme is gratitude! We are so grateful for the kindness, positivity and leadership that Ms. Brenfleck has provided our LMDES community. We are saddened by her departure but know that she is forever a LMDES Dolphin and that she will do amazing things in her new role as Supervisor of Human Resources! We all wish you the best, Ms. Brenfleck- thank you for all you have done!
Mr. Farrell and Ms. Edwards are grateful to support the LMDES community by serving as your Principal and Assistant Principal. We are looking forward to an amazing remainder of the school year!
Sincerely,
Mr. Farrell
Ms. Edwards

On March 14, LMDES will conduct a lockdown drill to practice emergency safety procedures in compliance with Maryland Law. Regular safety drills are important to ensure students know the proper protocols to follow in the event of an emergency. During the lockdown drill, students and staff will follow steps to secure the building. Please reassure your child that this is just a practice and reach out with any questions.

Please take a few moments to view the video below and review the Student Rules for Transportation with your student(s). Student safety on the bus is the shared responsibility of students, parents, bus drivers, and the school.
Regularly reviewing bus expectations with your student will help ensure a safe ride to and from school each day. Riding the bus is a privilege; it takes all of us to safely transport our students each day. Thank you for your support!
