Congratulations to our New Larimore AMBASSADORS!
We have new ambassadors. A Larimore Ambassador is a student who meets all expectations for virtual learning, responsibility, and good citizenship.
At Larimore, we are building citizenship capacity in our students by focusing on the importance of going beyond the common definition of rewarding good behavior and punishing behavior that does not meet expectations. Please celebrate this major accomplishment if your student has been promoted.
- The objective of our citizenship program is to help students achieve self-control through teaching and practice instead of imposed control through reward and punishment.
- All students enter the school year as citizens-in-training.
- When students meet expectations for citizenship, publicly recognized in Weekly afternoon announcements and receive a citizenship wrist band (color-coded).
- When 100% of a teacher’s class has achieved citizenship, the classroom is celebrated.
- Once a student achieves citizenship, the student begins working on the ambassador expectations.

Remedial and Supplemental Tutoring
Re: Remedial and Supplemental tutoring
This year the district’s tutoring program will assist all students who are struggling in one or more subjects, especially reading, writing and mathematics. The expectation is that students will receive rigorous instructional support so that they will become more successful in their classes and will demonstrate improved achievement. If you are interested in signing your student up for tutoring, please contact your child's teacher.
