Monday, February 24th will be an A Day.

English Benchmark Test on Tuesday, February 25th
Bobcats in grades 6, 7, and 8 will take the English benchmark test on Tuesday, February 25th. We will have an alternate bell schedule, which will slightly impact lunch shift times. It is always important for students to bring their fully charged Chromebooks to school, and it will be especially important on Tuesday for the English benchmark test!

The fifth exploratory rotation (E5) will now begin for sixth grade students on Wednesday, February 26th. The exploratory wheel is a rotation of six classes that meet for six weeks each. Students can check out their PowerSchool Student Portal to see which class they have next!

Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, February 26th
Parent-teacher conferences will take place on Wednesday, February 26th from 3:45 to 7:00 p.m. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to stay connected with your child’s teachers about your child’s academic progress. Conferences play an important role in fostering collaboration, understanding, and support in your child's educational journey. We are eager to connect with you as we partner to provide the best possible middle school experience!

On Wednesday, February 26th, from 4:00-7:00 p.m., the Career and Technical Education Department will be hosting students, parents, and community members at the annual CTE Showcase Night & STEAM Cup Challenge at LCHS. The night will run in conjunction with parent/teacher conferences at LCMS and LCHS. Come out and see students in action and all the great programs that are offered!

Family Life Education Letters
Family Life Education letters were given to students in Health/PE classes and should be returned by Friday, March 7th. Family Life lessons will begin the week of March 10th. If you have any questions, please contact your child's Health/PE teacher.

Black History Month Video Competition
As Black History Month continues, Bobcats have joined their grade-level Google Classroom for the Black History Month contests using the links on the LCMS Student Start Page! Daily videos are being posted during February highlighting the achievements of African Americans. Students are carefully watching Edpuzzle videos and answering questions. Daily and weekly winners are being selected based on how well students score and how many videos they complete.

Looking Ahead:
LCMS Spring Picture Day will be on Thursday, March 6th.
