Note from the Principal (Mr. Semmler)
Dear DLJHCharger Families,
Monday, April 8th is the Solar Eclipse. Prime Time for this event is around 1:30 PM. The school has purchased solar eclipse glasses for every student and we will let everyone go outside (similar to how we run a fire drill) for 5 minutes to see the solar eclipse.
All of our Science Teachers have reviewed safety procedures because there are concerns when people look directly at the sun during an eclipse. If you feel uncomfortable after we have reviewed safety procedures and provided glasses, you can click the link below to opt out of your child being allowed to go outside during this time.

If it rains or if the weather is overcast, then we will have a live stream in the classroom that students can watch with their teacher at 1:30 PM.
Sincerely,
Michael Semmler
Principal of Leaman Junior School

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.
