Dear LCMS Panther Families,
Thank you all for your patience and cooperation during our weather delays the past 2 weeks. Please note:
Do not use the nearby parking lots to pick up your child. Young Innovators and others are private businesses. Do not use their lots for pickup.
Do not enter the car line for afternoon pick up until 3:30 pm (2:30 pm on Wednesdays). Doing so blocks access to the school for emergency vehicles. I know the elementary school gets out that early, but we cannot have cars filling the car line that early. You can park in a spot in our lot and line up at the appropriate time - or park in another large nearby lot like Winn Dixie or Publix and wait.
Don't forget, Panthers always:
Practice Safety
Act Responsibly
Work Hard
Show Respect
Go Panthers! #PawsUp
Sincerely,
Dr. Melissa Laudani
Principal, Lawton Chiles MS
Please remind your student to wear their ID every single day. These IDs are important. It gives them access to our buildings and the bus. It is very important to keep track of their IDs. If your student loses their ID, please have them tell their 1st period teacher so they can enter a request. Students might need to wait up to two weeks before receiving a replacement. Starting Quarter 2, there will be a fee for each replacement ID.
Please encourage your child to participate in this - fundraiser money = devices in classrooms!! We had approximately 250 devices last year damaged beyond repair. It will take us a while to recoup this loss. Money raised in this fundraiser will go toward purchasing more devices as well as safety initiatives.
Join LCMS Cross Country and Track programs and participate in The Rising 5k (see flyer below). A portion of the proceeds will benefit our programs here at LCMS!
This event starts immediately after school and ends at 4:30 pm. Signed permission slips are required for entry.
Pick up will be on the car line starting at 4:30 pm.
