We would like to wish each and every family a very Happy Thanksgiving! Family lunch continues every Friday during your child's lunch time. You do not need to RSVP for this, just sign in at the front office.

We would like to encourage you to consider ways to support Lockmar.

1. Volunteer - complete the volunteer process, fingerprinting at the district office, contact your child's teacher or PTA to do projects.

Lockmar' Mission is that Lockmar parents, staff and students will strive to achieve our vision for excellence:

Achievement - To continue the pursuit of outstanding academic performance.

Curriculum - To monitor our curriculum and update technological areas for the future needs of our children and society.

Unity - To unify the staff, students, parents and members of the community to mold Lockmar into extended family.

Respect - To develop self-esteem, respect for others and positive attitudes.

Community - To use all resources in providing enrichment experiences for our students.

PBIS implementation is part of achieving our school mission. Our expectations are to Be Safe, Be Kind and Be Ready. Students have been earning positive referrals when they show positive behavior. We will be starting Lockmar Loot. Students will earn "Loot" when they show these expectations. Our Lockmar Store will be opening in January. There is a sign up below if you would be able to come in and help in the store for students to shop and a link to our Amazon wish list. Thank you for all of your support with the chocolate fundraiser and Texas Roadhouse gift cards as we are raising money for items in our store.

Brevard Public Schools is once again joining other districts around the country in surveying teachers, parents, and students through Project Tomorrow's Speak Up Survey. The Speak Up Research Project is a national research project that assists education leaders in including the voices of students, faculty, parents, and the community in annual and long-term planning regarding the use of technology for learning. These results are shared with local, state, and national policymakers and utilized to make strategic decisions about technology purchases and instructional technology integration within BPS. Link is below to complete.

We have lots going on in December. Below is the calendar of events, flier for Milk and Cookies with Santa as well as a link to sign up to help at the Holiday Shop. More information regarding the Holiday shop will go home soon.

We can't wait to see our 1st drama production on Tuesday, November 29th at 7:00! Our drama club has been working very hard to prepare the Jungle Book. A $5.00 per family donation at the door is appreciated.

Hello! We are your kindergarten team. We are made up of Mrs. Waterbury, Mrs. Ellis, Ms. Johnson, and Mrs.Briggs. We are so excited for the month of December. During this month we virtually travel around the world and learn about the holidays they celebrate. This is a special time for students to learn and appreciate different cultures.

Have you heard the great news? All kindergarten and 1st grade students have one to one iPads. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students. This will give them new learning experiences that were not available to them in the past. We can wait to see how far our students will soar this year!

I hope you are all in a great spirit, after Thanksgiving and for the upcoming holidays!
