We Would Like Your Feedback
From the Lanier Counselors
In preparation for the Teen Lures lesson students will participate in the month of February and March, parent letters must go home with ALL students notifying parents that counselors will be presenting Teen Lures Prevention and safety lessons and will provide an opportunity for parents to preview the presentation on Wednesday, January 29th.
ALL students will participate in the Teen Lures Prevention and safety lesson UNLESS a parent opts out by submitting a letter to the school requesting their child NOT participate.
Academic Assistance Program (AAP)
Letters were sent home last week for any student needing to attend AAP (Academic Assistance Program) and/or Summer School to be eligible for grade-level promotion. If your student failed a first semester course required for promotion, please check report card envelopes or contact your student's homeroom teacher for information regarding this credit recovery opportunity.

From the Clinic
Flu and Cold season is upon us. Please remember:
A few things to keep in mind to keep everyone healthy as we move into the cold and flu season.
- Students must be fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT the aid of medication before they can return to school.
- Students are NOT allowed to carry medication, including cough drops. All medication must be checked into the clinic by an adult.
