New TikTok "Monthly Challenges"

Some of you may have heard of a recent "devious licks challenge" on the social media app TikTok where individuals are encouraging others to steal or damage school property. Now there are additional monthly challenges that encourage students to "slap a teacher" or touch a classmate inappropriately. Fortunately we have not had any incidents at LMEC related to these new monthly challenges but we wanted to be proactive and reach out to families to make them aware that these challenges are out there.

We ask that you please speak with your child and remind them that this "challenge" is criminal behavior, not an innocent prank. This behavior is grounds for suspension, expulsion, and criminal charges.

We appreciate your support to keep our campus safe by talking to your child about the adverse effects of peer pressure sometimes found on social media platforms.The entire LMEC Team thanks you in advance for your support on this.

Parents We Need Your Help! LCFF Household Form Submission

Parents we need your help. Several weeks ago your child should have brought home a manila envelope with directions on how to submit your LCFF household form in PowerSchool, the directions include your Access ID and Password.

Our school needs this information to help ensure we receive all the state funding to which our students are entitled. We use this funding to provide additional academic supports in the classroom. Below is some additional information to help you complete the process.

• create a PowerSchool Parent Portal Account: English | Spanish

• create a PowerSchool Parent Portal Account (video): English | Spanish

• enter LCFF data in the PowerSchool Parent Portal

If you haven't done so already please complete your LCFF Household form in PowerSchool as soon as possible. If you have any trouble submitting the form.
