Dear LCMS Panther Families,

I know that several students will want to bring gifts for their friends next week. Please make sure that they can fit in a backpack. Students will not be allowed to carry around large packages. 

We wish you all a wonderful holiday. Please enjoy this time with your families, rest, and recharge for the new year!

Sincerely, 

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Save the Date

Beginning January 30th, parents, students in grades 4-12 and school staff will have the opportunity to take part in the Snapshot Survey.  The results of this survey will showcase what makes each of our schools unique and will be used to develop our school report card, the Snapshot Report.  Your input and comments are important and will play a key role in spotlighting innovation and student achievements.

In addition to the Snapshot Survey, students will once again have the opportunity to participate in the 5Essentials Survey. This opportunity will allow students in grades 4-12 to share their thoughts on the important elements of their school and classroom experiences.

The Snapshot and 5Essentials Surveys will be conducted January 30th – March 1st.

Participation in the surveys provides valuable information on our school and helps guide school improvement. Your identity and survey responses are kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your student.

The Snapshot and 5Essentials Surveys will be administered online.  On January 30th parents will receive the link to the Snapshot Survey.  The survey link will also be available on the SCPS web site.  Please mark your calendars and plan to participate in this opportunity to provide your input
