FINAL EXAM EXEMPTION SCENARIOS

If your child has met all requirements for exemption and has their card turned in, they do not have to report to school on Wednesday and Thursday.
If your child has to take finals on Wednesday, they are able to check in and out throughout the day. For example, if your child has a final 1st period and 8th period, they are able to check out after their 1st period test (normal check-out procedures in the office) and return in time for their 8th period test. If transportation issues don't allow it, they are more than welcome to stay and continue rotating through their normal schedule.
Thursday is a day for make-up finals. Students do not have to come unless they have missed a test. School ends at 12:45pm and the office will close at 1:00 pm.

BEST IS THE STANDARD

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!!

REPORTING ABSENCES

This school year, we will implement a new way for parents/guardians to submit absences. This process will allow absence requests to be submitted ahead of time in Skyward. Please click the button below to learn how.

****If you are only checking your child out for a short period of time, such as a doctor's appointment, please unselect the check mark where "all day" is indicated. This will allow you to enter a specific time frame.****

BUSINESSES TO THE EAST OF LBMS

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.

MRS. BAIRDS - TEACHER ON THE RISE

Mrs Baird's Bread and United Supermarkets have announced the return of the Teachers On The Rise program for the 2022-23 school year.

This student/family nominated program honors three local teachers every month. Teachers have such a tremendous impact on students every day, and these are the stories Mrs. Baird's wants to hear about! Nominate your favorite teacher at www.MrsBTeacher.com!

NO OUTSIDE DELIVERY FOR STUDENT LUNCHES

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.
