Dear LCMS Panther Families,

Our final quarter of the year is off to a great start. Our Basketball Season is underway with 4 more weeks of exciting games. Testing season started with 8th graders taking the PSAT and all students will take the writing assessment this coming week.

April 8 is the day of the solar eclipse. We will follow an even day block schedule, but instead of 6th period, we will have 7th period from 1:36-4:05. You can find the bell schedule on the LCMS Website HERE (scroll down to the image of the calendar). This will allow our early release students to leave campus as well as allowing for a smaller number of students to be held in the gym in PE. Students will stay in their classrooms for the duration of that time, only to be allowed, as needed, to use the restroom. If you would prefer to sign your child out and have them home during that time, you will be allowed to do so starting at 12:30 pm in the front office. Please do not tell your student to meet you there. Each parent must come to the front office and provide photo ID before students are called out of class or lunch. Absences that day will be excused.

As your child may have told you, we have had some changes in our lunch procedures starting this week. For A and C lunches, we are allowing 4 students to a table at the outside dining area. Students are to remain seated at their table for the duration of the period and are to throw away their own trash before leaving. B lunch is much smaller and all students are able to fit inside the Growl Grill restaurant. Additionally, before Spring Break, the 6th grade lunch was the group that we had the most difficulty with behaviors and trash in the outside dining area. If, after a few weeks, we see that B lunch is able to maintain clean tables, staying in their seats, and no behaviors, we will consider allowing them to start eating outside again. If we do so, they will also be limited to 4 people per table. Please remind your child to follow the PAWS expectations at all times, including while in the Growl Grill.

Thank you for your support.

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Principal, Lawton Chiles MS
