SUMMER SCHOOL

Students and families were notified on April 5 about their eligibility for summer school.  If you plan to take any classes for Summer School, please remember to register, through ParentVue, by May 24^th.  Please follow this link for all information including dates and locations.

MOVING OVER THE SUMMER?

If you are planning to move over the summer, please click this link to fill out no later than May 31^st. This allows our Registrar time to work on updating your data and getting student records sent to your new school.  Contact Ms. Gouro at [email protected] if you have any questions.

FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION

Family Life Education (FLE) will be taught at LRMS through Science classes in 6th and 7th grade, and through PE in 8th grade on May 28 and May 29.  If you wish to review the material your student will be learning or to opt them out, you can reach out to your student’s Science teacher (6/7 grades) or PE teacher (8th grade).  Any other questions about FLE can be directed to Mr. McLaughlin at [email protected]

Students have been selected by their teachers for the end-of-year awards. The awards nights are by invitation only and the parents/guardians of any student earning an award will receive an email letting them know.  Students will not know which award they’ve earned until the night of the ceremony.

Participation in Fun Day Activities

As we begin the 4^th marking period, I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining momentum and continuing to work hard, make good decisions, and stay focused on our goals. One goal would be to attend our FUN DAY scheduled for June 5th.  This will be a day filled with laughter, games, and camaraderie. It’s a time for our students to unwind, celebrate their achievements, and create lasting memories. 

Eligibility for attendance-

1. Academic Standing: To participate in Fun Day, students must maintain academic eligibility. Specifically:
2. • No student can have two or more F’s in their classes during the fourth quarter.
   • Consistent effort and commitment to learning are essential.
3. Behavioral Expectations:
4. • Students cannot have any major referrals resulting in out-of-school suspensions during the fourth quarter.
   • Additionally, they must avoid accumulating three or more total referrals leading to after-school detentions or Saturday school.
5. Library Standing:
6. • Students must be in good standing with the library. This means no outstanding fines or overdue books.

All participation is at the discretion of the administrators.  Ineligible students and families will be notified on Friday, May 31st through email.

End of Year Device Collection

End of the year device collection is fast approaching. Students need to plan on turning in their PWCS laptop, sleeve, and charger on the following days:

• Wednesday 5/29 - Damage check in science classes and damaged devices turned in.
• Thursday 5/30 - 6th grade collection.
• Friday 5/31 - 8th grade collection.
• Monday 6/3 - 7th grade collection.

Any student missing their PWCS asset tag or with damage to their device should submit a help ticket. Below is a list of common damages and their cost if you did not purchase insurance at the beginning of the school year:

• LCD - $44.99
• Digitizer - $73.31
• Missing keys/Keyboard - $151
• Touchpad + keyboard - $178
• Broken Hinge/Total device replacement - $403
• Missing laptop sleeve - $20

  • If students have lost their charger, it can be paid in exact cash or checks made out to LRMS. If a student has insurance, parents can fill out an affidavit (attached) about this missing charger, skipping the police report section.

Weather can become a factor during the Spring Season with rain and heat. We will make every attempt to let you know if practices/games are being canceled for the day; otherwise, we plan for practices to be run as scheduled. As space allows, we are often able to move practices indoors. We will make the final call for any cancellations between 1:30 pm and 2 pm.  Please be prepared to move inside, athletes will NOT be permitted to practice in crocs, slides, or other non-backing shoe; sneakers/turf shoes are to be work. Thank you!   

 

Monday will be a “B” day.
