Any student who has a school-owned band instrument needs to return it to LMS by Friday, May 20. The Music Department is in the middle of their instrument inventory and needs ALL of our instruments returned by the end of the school year. Thank you!

Eighth grade students will be attending a special trip to Lynchburg College on Tuesday, May 24th. They will have the opportunity to rotate through several stations that include the following topics:

1. College 101

2. Google Mapping Your Future

3. Choose Your Adventure

4. How to Stay in College

The afternoon will conclude with lunch (packed from home or from school) on The Dell with music, fun, and dessert provided by the University of Lynchburg.

PLEASE BE SURE TO SIGN AND RETURN YOUR CHILD'S PERMISSION FORM

Students enrolled in high school credit-bearing classes (Algebra I, Algebra II, Earth Science, Spanish or French) are given a one-time opportunity to have that grade erased from their record (course would need to be repeated at the high school level) by submitting the "Request to Expunge Grade for High School Course Taken in Middle School" form to Mrs. James before June 30, 2022. These forms were sent home with students.

Students in these high school credit-bearing classes will have their grade automatically expunged if they receive a failing grade for the year.

May 20 - Last day to check out books

May 25 - All books must be returned to the library

The library will close to book checkouts ONLY on May 25.

If you have not done so already, please ensure your students have received both their Tdap booster and Meningococcal vaccines before August 16, 2022. They will not be allowed to come to school until verification of these vaccines or a notarized Religious Exemption form has been received. Thank you and feel free to call if you have questions.

All medications need to be picked up by May 27 from the clinic. Please be mindful that all emergency medications should remain until the last day of school. Any medications that are not picked up will be disposed of unless otherwise instructed.

All medications are to be picked up by a parent or guardian per Lynchburg City Schools' policy. No medications are to be transported by students.

Please remember, if your child needs to continue taking medication for the next school year, a new medication authorization form and/or action plan will need to be signed.

Thank you for your cooperation and feel free to contact Nurse Tyree with questions or concerns.
