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

ID Cards

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.

MegaBlast Fundraiser Starting

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.
