We have a lot planned for this year, we will start with the Teacher Meet and Greet, on July 31st from 1:00-3:00 pm. Families will be able to get their child's class schedule, laptop, id cards and a new backpack. This year we are implementing a new clear backpack policy. All students must use clear back packs.

The school district will continue to have Professional Learning Days for staff. The dates: August 21st, October 23rd, January 29th, and March 26th. Please remember students do not have school on those days.

Our first Food Pantry Day will be August 16th. Middle school students do need a permission slip in order to get a food box. Once all students get their food boxes, this is open to the public if you know of someone in need of a food box.

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.

Intro & Contact Information

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

Families, we are asking students to keep all Sharpie markers at home. There was an increase in graffiti last year. Students do not need Sharpies for school. If it is required, the teacher will supply them for use and collect them when done. All Sharpies on campus will be collected by staff.

TUSD will continue to have professional learning days. These are four days in which teachers and staff attend professional development. This means there is no school on those days.

Here are the dates for the second semester:
