Note from the Principal (Mr. Semmler)
Dear DLJHCharger Families,
As we finish up Spring Break, I wanted you to look ahead to April. We have had dates in the SMORE for a few issues now so we can plan ahead not to plan doctor's appointments, or other appointments on the dates listed. 7th Grade only has 2 testing dates in April, but 8th grade has 4.
Thanks for helping us go through testing smoothly.
Sincerely,
Michael Semmler
Principal of Leaman Junior School

Student Badges
As part of the dress code requirements for the 2023-2024 school year, each student is required to wear a school ID Badge. Each student is given a new badge at the beginning of each year (or when a new student registers). Badges must be worn on a lanyard, around the neck all day. Student pictures must be visible and not covered.
If a student has forgotten their badge, they have an opportunity either to purchase a new badge ($5.00) or wear a sticker badge. Sticker badges will receive the consequence of 1-day lunch detention and $1.00 fine, place on the student's account for every printed sticker badge.

PBIS Rewards and Donations
PBIS Expectations & Rewards - PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports. One large piece is explaining expectations upfront. Another piece is rewarding students when we see those focused on positive behaviors. 3 campus-wide expectations posters are placed throughout the campus and added below.
We are using LiveSchool this year and your student can log through Classlink on the LCISD webpage (at the top) to start to explore what this is all about. They do NOT need a phone to do this. It can be done on a laptop or computer.
Parents if you are interested in donating to the PBIS school store the following list is a great start. We accept all donations both monetary and items. Student will begin being able to purchase items during lunch with their LiveSchool points.

You can drop them off in the front off or have them mailed to the school.
