⭐ Principal's Message ⭐
Lamar Families,
We are nearly half way through our 2nd nine weeks and into the final stretch before the holidays! Make sure to check out the entire newsletter to see the many fantastic things happening in Cherokee Country!
Please use the Parent Portal button below to access your child's Midterm Grades which will be available Friday, November 11 and check our the November Calendar below for important dates.
A new safety feature available to parents is the “MyStop” App. This app lets users see the location of their child's bus in real time. Please click the link below to view the letter that was sent to families from the district.
PTA will be running a Food Drive in November (see flyer below) to help stock our school pantry. If you need specific support, you can request help from the school using the "Request Student Resources" button below. This includes support or assistance with hygiene items, clothing, food, school supplies, or other school resources.
Finally, a huge thank you to the Lamar PTA for their Principal Month gift!
As always, please contact the school at 753-1130 is you have any questions or assistance.
Respectfully,
Mark Merriman, Principal

Do you have a child involved with athletics or extracurricular activities at Lamar? If so, we would love for you to join our Booster Club! This has been a successful club for Lamar in the past and we are working to grow the club in order to help our school programs. As a part of the Booster Club you would be volunteering your time to help our school. We are also looking for board positions to be filled. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jessica Dunn at 423-483-6022.
