LCMS Weekly Newsletter
By Tami Gunset
Parents,
Tuesday, January 5 - fourth six weeks begin
* If your student missed any of their fall semester exams, those need to be taken by Thursday, January 7. Please encourage your child to make before- and after-school arrangements to take their exams. Please know that exams are 10% of your student's fall semester grade, so they are very important.
** I have listed the 2016 STAAR Dates below - please put these dates in your calendar as it is very important that your child be present on these days. Please avoid making any appointments during these dates. If you have any questions, please let me know as soon as possible.
