Weekly Updates 5/23 - 5/27
Greetings Lemira Family:
As we draw near to the end of school, we will continue to motivate, inspire, and educate all students to be college and career ready. We will continue to forge forward with "Leading and Learning with Intention and Optimism as we Nurture the Success of all Students", for we are the L.I.O.N.S.
Announcements
1. Art Showcase: May 24th - Please join us for the "Art Showcase". The program flyer is attached.
2. Awards Day Celebrations will begin the week of May 25th - June 1st.
- Due to limited spacing, our guest list will be two guest per student.
- If parents wish to sign students out early to celebrate, they will sign out with the homeroom teacher.
- We will not be able to allow other Lemira students to be released from class to attend their siblings' Awards Ceremonies. If you would like to sign out siblings following the Awards assembly, you may do so in the front office.
3. Field Day - Please see attached flyer
- Attendees: At this time, due to limited visitation, this event is for Lemira students only. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate parent participation this year. It is our hopes that next year, we will be able to have our parents join us for this event.
- Referrals: If a student has received 5 or more referrals this year, he/she will not be able to participate. Letters were sent to the parents of any student to whom this applies. If a student receives any discipline referral from the monitoring period of 5/23 - 5/27, he/she will not be able to participate. If this applies to a student who has already paid for concession items, he/she will receive their items packaged at the end of the day.
- Fines: If a student owes for fines (i.e textbooks, chromebooks/repairs, etc.), he/she will not be able to participate. If the student pays the fine prior to the beginning of field day, he/she may participate.
