Principal's Memo

Important Weekly Information for LMS Community Week of April 6th- 10th

LAST CHANCE FOR PARENTS!!!

Message to Parents about the LMS Parent Climate Survey and Student Survey Info/ Opt Out

Good afternoon LMS Parents & Guardians,

It is that time of year again when the schools seek information from parents, students, and even staff members on how to audit current services and receive feedback in which to best plan for the future.

In this email/ message, you will find the LMS Parent Climate Survey in which I hope as many as possible take a few moments to complete. I always say, “I don’t know what I don’t know” so in the process, I hope to gain as much input as possible to keep LMS moving in the right direction.

Additionally, each student will be asked to complete a LMS Student Climate Survey during the school day later this month. Please take some time to review the LMS Student Climate Survey questions and if you choose to have your child “OPT OUT” they can simply not respond to the survey when it is time to complete or you can formally complete the “LMS Student Climate Survey OPT-OUT Form” and return it to the LMS Main Office.

The LMS Parent Climate Survey will be live from March 13th until April 5th.

The LMS Student Survey will be administered during the first week of April and you have the opportunity to return the “LMS Student Climate Survey OPT-OUT Form” until Friday March 27th.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me as needed.

Parent Climate Survey (for parents to complete by April 5th)
Student Climate Survey (to view questions only- do not complete)
Student Opt-Out Form (if you would like your child to not participate)
