Dear LCMS Panther Families,

Current student registration is still ongoing. Current 7th graders have until February 13 to make their course selections.

The Registration Website is accessible on the homepage of our website or here: https://sites.google.com/myscps.us/lcmsregistration2021/home

I know that Valentine's Day is coming up. Please remember that we do not allow drop offs of any kind for students. If your child chooses to bring something to give to a friend, it must be small enough to fit in their backpack. Do not send in large bags of candy or other treats.

We need volunteers for Living on My Own - This financial literacy program offers students a view into their futures and the financial decisions they will make. We have all the information you will need to support the students in the "Living on My Own City" during the real-life simulation portion of this program. Mr. Borosky's 8th grade Lightbulb students will be participating in this event. Please see below for more information.

Have a great week!

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Principal, Lawton Chiles MS
