Kindergarten Registration for 2018-19
We have begun planning for our incoming kindergarten class of 2018-19. Please visit the LMES website for information on registering your child. Eligible children must be turning 5 years old by January 1, 2019. You may download an intake form from the website or call the main office at 203-758-1144 to pre-register. Share this information with friends that may not have students currently at LMES. Thank you!
Our Parent Information Night will be held March 8, 2018, at 6:30 PM in the cafetorium. Invitations will go out in mid-February to all families that have pre-registered.
Orientation dates for our incoming kindergartners are April 6, 12 and 13, 2018. Information about these appointments will be shared at the Parent Night.

Schedule Update Due to Winter Weather Cancellations
Message from Superintendent of Schools re: Makeup of school days that are canceled: As of today, February 12th, I have had to cancel school region-wide on 6 weather-related days. The district calendar calls for 10 makeup days to be added to the end of the school year. If additional days are needed, they are taken from Spring Break, April 16-20, starting with Monday, April 16 and working toward Friday, April 20. Given that much of winter remains ahead of us, there is the likelihood that we may have to take makeup days from Spring Break this year. Parents are reminded to consider this possibility before making vacation plans for Spring Break.
The current last day of school for students (except at MMS) is June 18th. This is reflected on the 2017-18 calendars which is on the district website at www.region15.org/calendars and is updated after each snow day. I expect that you will find it a helpful resource as we weather the rest of the winter season.
All Parents/Guardians in ALL schools should note that if there are 11 or more days to be made up region-wide (12 or more for MMS), then all schools in the Region will be open during Spring Break to make up the additional days.
