FBI Presentation Followup
Thank you to all the parents who came out last night to join us at the Parent FBI Presentation. Many topics discussed are challenging to consume, but these are meaningful discussions. FBI Agent John Anderson spoke to our 7th and 8th-grade students about the importance of being vigilant about social media usage and their digital footprint, as well as the challenges and threats many teens face when interacting on the internet. Please continue conversing with your children about healthy social media and computer consumption.

- Foundation footings are being poured.
- Structural steel has arrived and is being installed (weather permitting).

ATTENTION - Purchase a YEARBOOK before the end of the month before prices go up. Yearbooks are not guaranteed at the end of the school year. We still have over 150 Eighth grade students that have not purchased a yearbook!

ALL FORMS ARE DUE BY 3/1/2024. No late submissions will be accepted.
There is paperwork due for everyone regardless of whether or not you have participated in a prior season.

All forms can be found in the parent portal in Genesis under “Spring Sports LCJSMS”
If you are not sure what you need to hand in please check the athletics tab in the parent portal to check your child’s “sports eligibility” or contact the nurse (908) 273-1190
The forms will be reviewed by the school nurse then sent to the district physician for final clearance. Please note it can take up to 2 weeks for forms to be processed once received and reviewed by the nurse.
Ms. McDonald will create a list of every student that is cleared to participate and share this with the coaches. NO student can begin participating in any sport until their name is on the list.
