We hope everyone is enjoying the start of Summer!
This is a special July Edition of the Monday Minute. From time-to-time throughout the Summer we will continue to send a few updates with important information about LVMS. Once the school year starts, the Monday Minute is sent each week to provide our students, families, and staff with all necessary information about LVMS. This information will also now be updated through our Website and Mobile App to continue the increased communications!
Please read carefully below as there is important information on 6th Grade Student Information and deadlines for Fall Sports Paperwork included.
Summer Highlights
Washington Township School has launched our NEW District Website and Mobile App! (additional information below!)
In the upcoming weeks, the district will move its communication and alert system to ThrillShare. Families do not need to do anything additional at this time, but may receive automated notifications from ThrillShare regarding their enrollment in communications. This is expected and not SPAM or Fraudulent. If you need to update any contact information, please contact the LVMS Main Office as soon as possible.
Our Custodial and Maintenance Staff is hard at work prepping our building for September! In addition to our usual Summer "deep clean", some classrooms have had new flooring installed already and many other projects are slated to begin soon.
