Please login to your EF Travel account and complete action items in the "to do" list. If you are an adult that is traveling, you should have already received an email about a background check. We will have a parent meeting once all travel arrangements have been solidified by EF Travel.

The Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation is proud to welcome CMA and Grammy Award Winning country music artist, Ashley McBryde, to Lubbock on Saturday, May 13th at Cook’s Garage. She will be joined by special guests, Corey Kent and Lubbock-Cooper graduate, Ross Cooper. Sponsor tables are still available by calling (806) 535-9468. General Admission tickets are on sale now at EventBrite.com. All proceeds from this event help fund innovative teacher grants for LCISD teachers and scholarships for outstanding graduating Pirate seniors. Don’t miss Ashely McBryde with Corey Kent and Ross Cooper at Cook’s Garage on May 13th.

Please help us avoid any unnecessary frustration by ensuring students continue to remain in dress code. As we near summer, historically, the most common things students want to do is change hair color, shave designs in hair/eyebrows, wear shorts that are outside the guidelines, and pierce ears (boys). Refer to LCISD's dress code requirements for particulars if needed. Thanks in advance for your help!

Anyone planning on their child being in athletics for the 2023-2024 school year will need to join our Sports You page. Sports You is a free app we use to communicate important information pertaining to Girls Athletics (Volleyball, Basketball, and Track). We will be posting information about our upcoming summer camps for your child to attend as well as information before the school year begins on forms needed for your child's participation in our athletic program and tryout dates. Attached is information about how to join our LBMS Girls athletics page.

Thanks,

Coach Lueb

Lubbock-Cooper High School's advanced construction students built two playhouses to be raffled off during the annual Casas for CASA raffle. Playhouses #2 and #3 were built by our LCHS students and can be seen at the 98th and Quaker United Market Street. Please consider supporting this worthy cause by purchasing a raffle ticket and stopping by Market Street to see all of the cute playhouses.

We have several signs throughout the building that say "Best is the STANDARD." As discussed on the second day of school, this slogan is applicable to every aspect of life. Whether it's studying, competing, helping others, cleaning, behaving positively, or anything else, we want students to do their absolute BEST. If their mindset is "Best is the STANDARD," great things are going to happen!!

If you are using the skyward feature to submit an absence, please go ahead and select the whole day and our attendance clerk will make corrections where needed. This is a slight change from the beginning of the year.

Some of the businesses directly east of LBMS have asked for help with a few things:

1. Please don't use their lots as a place for student pick-up or drop-off.

2. If your student isn't going to be a paying customer, they do not need to be there for the sake of hanging out or waiting for a ride.

Let's do our part as a Pirate community to help these businesses out.

Parents/Guardians may bring a lunch for their students. Lunches can be dropped off in the front office and students will be allowed to pick-up their food when they are dismissed for lunch.

**Due to security concerns, no outside entity (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Favor, Pizza delivery, Chick-Fil-A, etc.) will be allowed to drop off lunches for students.
