Dear LCMS Panther Families,

I hope everyone fared well during the storm. We were happy to serve as a hurricane shelter again for our community. If any of our families are experience situations from the storm which will impact your child's attendance at school, please email me ASAP (melissa_laudani@scps.us)

The next 5 weeks are packed full of activities, so I have included them all for you above. Please encourage your students to stay focused as the end of the quarter will be here before you know it. 

Also, we have had a couple of situations with students who have sprayed perfume in class. Please remind your children that this is not allowed as some people are allergic. 

Have a great weekend!

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Principal, Lawton Chiles MS
