Principal's Letter
Dear Lobo Families,
Happy September! This month brings the first visits with classroom teachers. Parent/Teacher Conferences are September 18, 19 and 20. Please contact the classroom teacher to schedule your appointments. Students will have half days on those 3 days, with elementary leaving at 12:35 and middle school leaving ta 1:15 pm.
Students will start Benchmark testing on September 23rd. This is the first benchmark tests and will be a good indicator of what students have learned so far this year. The idea is that they will continue to show growth and demonstrate their learning with the second and third benchmarks.
Please continue to check our website, Facebook and parent link messages for any updates throughout the school year. If you have any questions or need further assistance, you can always all the front office at 908- 3900 or email the school.
Respectfully,
Ms. Stanbrook
Principal

Dress Code-Uniforms are Required
Lawrence 3-8 Uniform Policy: Included TUSD Dress Code
Based on grade level, every student is required to be in school uniform unless parent(s)/guardian(s) have received written notification from the school of a scheduled Free Dress Day. Every student is eligible for Free Dress Day Incentives but may not have the opportunity to participate if they do not meet the incentive expectations. Teachers are expected to check for uniform compliance at the beginning of the day. Every effort will be made by the morning support staff to identify students out of uniform so class time is not disrupted. Students who wear sweatshirt tops will be expected to show the collar of their top if requested by a staff member. Send any student out of uniform compliance with a pass to the Dean of Student’s office for consequence process. Depending of availability, the student may receive a school uniform for the school day.

Higher Ground
Higher Ground’s mission is to empower one life at a time to reach, transform, and elevate their community through love and character building. In other words, we work with students, families, and community members to provide any resource that is outside of the scope of education:
● Our student support specialist works closely with students on developing executive functions and decision-making skills to reach their individual goals.
● Our site director works with students, families, and community members to build community rapport and a pool of resources that empower the community.
We support schools and education professionals by filling in the gaps that families might need so that schools can focus on education. Partnering with local programs and organizations, we act as the bridge between families and any resource that can reach, transform, and elevate their lives according to their individual goals. Our Lawrence team is looking forward to working with you, your students, and your staff this year
