LCMS Paw Prints Newsletter

Dear LCMS Panther Families,

We are preparing for our end of the year awards ceremony and have a list of 30 8th graders who have earned all As all 3 years. If you believe your child has earned this recognition, please email me at melissa_laudani@scps.k12.fl.us 

We are starting to see an increase in parents trying to sign their student out after the cutoff (3:30 on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri - or 2:30 on Wed). If your child has to leave for an appointment, please be sure to be in the office to check him/her out before 3:30 pm.  Sign outs after this time are disruptive to the dismissal process. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.  

Have a great week!

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Principal, Lawton Chiles MS
