Principal’s Memo – May 31, 2024
Posted onMay 31, 2024
Good morning LMS Families,
With only one week (and a half day on the 10th) left, we are in full swing to close out the 23-24 school year. Some truly amazing things have been going on here to help wrap up such a great year. There are also some wonderful things still to come. Field day is scheduled for Tuesday next week. Please pay careful attention to the blurb about that later in this memo. Grade 8 promotion is next Friday at 6:00 on Joe Regina Field at the High School. We’ll send off our grade 8 students as the class of 2028! If the weather does not cooperate, we will move the festivities into the Gymnasium at LMS.
The last day of school, Monday, June 10th will be an early release day for students. Grades 3-5 are dismissed at 11:30, and Grades 6-8 at 12:00. We will be serving breakfast and a bag lunch to go on that day.
LMS Field Day
We’re very excited for our building wide field day on June 4th. Our students will get to spend some time enjoying some great outdoor activities as well as a school wide barbecue! Please help your child remember to dress comfortably with sneakers, bring a water bottle with their name on it, and pack sunscreen and a hat. Thanks to our PTO/Boosters for their help in bringing this together.
Other End of Year Reminders
A couple of things for you and your child(ren) to consider as we enter the last week of school.
- Next week we will begin collecting student devices, so all students will want to be sure to have their device, charger, and case ready to be turned in.
- Lockers and desks will be cleaned out next week and things will be coming home. Students should also check the lost and found outside of our gymnasium next to the cafe. Teachers will be reaching out at the end of next week if students have left any identifiable belongings behind. We will hold onto any lost student belongings until July, and then they will be donated.
- Trimester 3 digital report cards will be sent on Monday, June 10th.
Tick Check
It is that time of the year when ticks start emerging. Please be sure to check your child nightly for ticks. Here is a link for more information from CDC on ticks.
End of Year Library Book Return
All school library books are now overdue! Please help your child make sure they have returned all their school library books. Check under the couch, in the car, bookshelves, closets etc. We will also have all teachers check desks and shelves in their classrooms. Thank you for helping us keep a well stocked library for our students by returning all library books before the end of the school year.
A reminder of a few upcoming dates:
- Tuesday 6/4 – LMS Field Day (Rain date 6/5)
- Friday 6/7 – Grade 8 Promotion
- Monday 6/10 – Last day of school – EARLY RELEASE DAY
Have a great weekend,
Matt Foster
