Dear LCMS Panther Families,

I hope everyone got a chance to relax and recharge over break. We have lots going on this quarter and it will go by in a flash.

Hopefully our students are ready for a fresh start to a new quarter and will end this quarter strong.

Have a great week!

Monday March 20 - Expectations Reset

Monday in all classes, teachers will be reviewing student expectations much like we do at the beginning of the school year. Topics will include:

Expectations in the Courtyard before school
Expectations in the Hallways and during transitions
Expectations in the Growl Grill - and walking to and from
Warnings about vaping - its dangers and consequences
Bullying and harrassment
PBIS - campus-wide expectations, Paws Bucks and the PBIS Store
Expectations at Dismissal, on the bus and on the car ramp

Please ask your child about these and reinforce appropriate behavior. This is especially important to our 8th graders as we get closer to Gradventure and the 8th grade Dance.

One of the main issues we have had on campus is what we call "Horseplay Gone Wrong". PTSA and SAC have asked that I bring this to your attention. For example:

We had a situation where one student took another student's Croc (one of his good friends, just joking around) and then went to flush it down the toliet. The other student chased after it and they ended up wrestling over the shoe in the bathroom. Three other students came running out of the bathroom saying "There's a fight in the bathroom!" The AP now has to get statements from all 5 students, issue consequences to the 2 involved in the horseplay, and call all of the parents involved, making sure that the 3 witnesses and their parents understand that there was not actually a fight. A ridiculous amount of time ends up spent because someone thought it would be funny to steal their friend's shoe.

Please talk with your child about not engaging in unnecessary horseplay.
