End of 3rd Quarter
Summer School
Grade level teams, administrators and counselors are working together to identify students who may need summer school or be at risk of retention. Please continue to work with your student to submit missing work and work hard to do well as we round the corner to our final quarter of the year. You can access information about your child’s grades in three ways:
Login to the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus. Call our registrar, Mrs. Romanzak, if you need access.
Ask your student to show you each of their Google Classrooms on their chromebook. You will be able to see missing work
Call or email your student’s teacher if you have questions about a specific class or assignment. (This can also be done through your child’s Google Classroom)
Scheduling
School Counselors will be working with rising 7th and 8th graders this week. Please make every effort to have your students at school so they can learn about their course options and make selections for next year.
Rising 9th graders will be working with ECG counselors, here at LMS, on March 24 and 25.
