Dear LCMS Panther Families,

Our clubs and extra curricular programs are in full swing. Please be sure to check out the Club Listing below for new groups, including: SECME, Future Educators, and more.

I do have a couple of items that have come to our attention that we could use your assistance with:

Please do not send any part of your child's student lunch in a glass container or bottle. That includes drinks, leftovers, or any other container.
We are seeing students writing on each other or themselves with pen or marker. Please encourage them not to do so.
If you are trying to email a teacher, please be sure to do so through regular email - not Skyward. Teachers do not receive the email messages sent internally through Skyward. All teacher emails can be found on our website HERE and the link above.

Have a great week!

Don't forget, Panthers always:

Practice Safety

Act Responsibly

Work Hard

Show Respect

Go Panthers! #PawsUp

Sincerely,

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Principal, Lawton Chiles MS
