8th Grade Recognition is May 25th at 9AM in the LMCMS Auditorium
We are excited to celebrate our 8th grade students in the annual 8th Grade Recognition Assembly. We will begin the assembly at 9AM sharp with the 8th grade students walking into the auditorium by Advisory class. 6th and 7th grade siblings of 8th grade students may attend the assembly but must sit with parents/guardians the entire time. 8th grade students may leave with their families at the conclusion of the assembly.
Excalibur Auditions!
Excalibur auditions will continue this week, current 6th & 7th graders can sign up for a 10 minute time slot. You do not need to prepare a song ahead of time, just bring yourself. Students can sign up for a time slot on the sheets outside of the choir room, #114. If none of the times work, feel free to contact Ms. West at tara.west@usd497.org to set up a different time.
News from the Health Office - From Nurse Becca
Important information to keep in mind for next school year-
-New medication forms for both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications must be signed every year by a parent/guardian.
Any medication a student has with them must have a signed medication permission form per school district guidelines. This includes and is not limited to Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, and Motrin.
-Medication must remain in the properly labeled pharmacy or original OTC container.
-Medication forms are available on the district website or may be obtained from the school health clinic.
Thank you!
