Dear LMEC Families,
We hope you had a restful Fall Break. Believe it or not WInter Break will be here before you know it and we have many exciting events planned before the winter break including a Winter Music Showcase and a second middle school dance.
A friendly reminder that our first PTA meeting is going to be held on zoom this Tuesday, November 30th at 4:30 PM. The zoom link and passcode are accessible in both the English & Spanish flyers (scroll to the bottom of the flyers). We are looking forward to seeing you there and hope you will encourage at least one other parent to attend the meeting with you!
Sincerely,
Melanie Kray
The second grading period has come to an end and parents will be able to view their child's grades in PowerSchool on Wednesday, Dec. 1st. A paper copy of the grades will be sent home with students on Friday, Dec. 3rd
As a new school we are constantly trying to improve and fine-tune our program. As such we are seeking feedback from parents regarding the student led conference process that took place last week. If you participated in a student led conference with your middle schooler we ask that you please take a few moments to complete the parent feedback survey.

There is still plenty of time for students to improve their grades but we need to start now. Good grades start with good attendance - please make sure you are sending your child on-time to school everyday. Also, most math teachers are now offering tutoring support. Please contact your child's math teacher directly for details.
And finally, please do not hesistate to reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns. The best way to communicate with your teachers is via email. Please CLICK HERE for a list of all LMEC teacher email addresses.
