LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families,
This is the final Sunday evening update for the 2025-2026 school year!
Monday, May 18th will be a B Day. We will have an altered schedule this week with no WIN Block, which will slightly impact lunch shift times.
The end of the school year is here, and it is time to celebrate all of the successes of this school year! Our Bobcats have worked hard, and it has been wonderful to see them grow academically and socially. They have brought me great joy as they have graced the hallways of LCMS! As this school year comes to an end, I am grateful for your continuous support, parents and families. Thank you for your partnership in making this a wonderful school for students to learn and grow in. Our Bobcats have a lot to be proud of, and we will be celebrating that this week!
Bobcat Bash
We will have a Bobcat Bash for 6th graders on Monday, 7th graders on Tuesday, and 8th graders on Wednesday! Students should bring a refillable water bottle,
apply sunscreen before school, wear sneakers and sport-like clothing, and only bring their Chromebooks to school on the day of their Bobcat Bash. It will be a fun time!
Also, many thanks to the LCMS PTA for providing ice pops to our Bobcats on Monday for a fun, refreshing surprise!
Chromebooks
All 8th grade students should have returned their Chromebook and charger at this time. If an 8th grade student has not returned their Chromebook and charger, they need to do so right away. Rising 9th graders will be issued a new device at LCHS, although students will not receive a new device until the current device and charger have been turned in or the replacement cost has been paid. All outstanding bills for damage incurred during the school year must also be paid for students to receive a new Chromebook at LCHS. If you have been issued a bill for a lost or damaged device or charger, please submit payment promptly.
6th and 7th grade Bobcats will keep their Chromebooks over the summer, while being reminded that it is a school-issued device that should only be used for school-appropriate purposes and should be kept in a safe place in good condition.
Library Books
At this time, all library books should have been returned. If your child still has a library book checked out, please make sure it is returned right away or submit the replacement cost.
Medication in the Clinic
All over-the-counter and prescription medications must be picked up from the nurse’s office by 3 p.m. on the last day of school, Thursday, May 21st. According to LCPS policy, medication cannot be transported on the bus. Medications that are not picked up by an adult will be discarded. NO medication can be carried over from one year to the next. Please contact Nurse Smith with any questions.
Summer Programming at the Library
All branches of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library have free activities, including workshops, crafts, games, and snacks, all summer long. Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge and get a free tote bag just for registering! Teens in rising grades 6-12 can earn prizes throughout the summer for attending programs, being creative, completing a BINGO challenge, listening to or reading anything from magazines to stacks of books.

Thursday, May 21st is the last day of school of the 2025-2026 school year, and we will dismiss at 11:00 a.m. Lunch will not be served on Thursday.
We have a great week ahead as we finish the school year strong! Thank you, as always, for all of your support! If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please call our office at (540) 894-5457.
