LMEC Parent and Student Handbook

School Site Council - Parent/Community Representative Vacancy

We are looking for an additional parent or community member to join our SSC. The SSC is a decision-making committee that oversees the SPSA (School Plan for Student Achievement). The SPSA is the plan that identifies academic goals and drives the school’s instructional program. It is also responsible for monitoring budets and expendituers for strategies and actions in the SPSA.

If you are interested please email our Instructional Coordinator, Ms. Erica Herrera no later than Wednesday 10/6 at eherrera@sandi.net. If multiple parents or community members are interested elections will be held.

Uniform Orders are in and Being Distributed

We have great news! All the uniform orders are finally in and we have been distributing them. All uniforms should be distributed by the end of this week. Thank you for your patience with this.

Strict Dress Code Enforcement Starts Monday, Oct. 4th

Now that all the uniforms are in, students need to be sure that they are arriving to school in the correct dress code attire. Students may wear their black LMEC polo shirts or solid black t-shirts. Outwear (jackets, sweatshirts, hoodies) need to be black, white, grey, or navy blue in color. Students not following the LMEC dress code will be asked to change or provided with a loaner shirt. Please help us by checking to make sure your child is in appropriate attire for school.

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.
