Dear LCMS Panther Families,

I hope you all were able to do whatever it is that enables you to rest and recharge over the break.  Hopefully everyone is ready to jump back into it because we start FAST Testing next week!

Parents of 8th graders, please check your email for 8th grade specific information. This can also be found on the Students page of the website https://www.lcms.scps.k12.fl.us/students/8th_grade_information  

Lastly, the weather is supposed to be cold for the next few weeks. Please encourage your children to dress appropriately - remember, blankets are not clothing. If you are in need of a hoodie or jacket for your child, please email Officer Pierce at ashley_pierce@scps.k12.fl.us 

Here's to an amazing second half of the school year!

Sincerely, 

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Principal, Lawton Chiles MS

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
