Little Miami E-News

We would love our Panther families to give their feedback on the draft academic calendars for the 2023-2024 school year! Please share your thoughts & preference on draft calendar options. Calendar options are available in the Introduction section of the Exchange. This ThoughtExchange will close on November 11th.

Next week, October 31st-November 4th, is Red Ribbon Week at Little Miami Middle School. This will include a spirit week competition based on participation, essay/poem contest, coloring contest, candy guess/pledge to be drug free during lunch, and a short video each day for ETEH.

Spirit Week Themes:

Monday: "Say BOO to Drugs" - Wear your Halloween costume or orange.

Tuesday: "Friends Don't Let Friends Do Drugs" - Twinning Day or match your friends.

Wednesday: "Stay Strong and Make Good Choices" - Wear Comfortable Clothes.

Thursday: "Drugs are Out of Style" - Wear clothing from past decades.

Friday: "Help Make LM Drug Free" - Wear LM Spirit Wear!

The winter weather season is fast approaching, so the time to be prepared is NOW! If a delay due to inclement weather is necessary, Little Miami will make an announcement via the SwiftK12 notification system (LM phone calls, emails & text messages), post on LM social media & website, and report delays/closures to local media stations.

LM utilizes 90-minute delays when weather warrants a delay and not a full school closure. Please save the graphic below for your use on days we are on a delay! Preparedness tip: print and tape the graphic to your refrigerator for convenience!

DID YOU KNOW? By the age of three, a child’s brain is already 80% developed, and, by the time a child enters kindergarten, they must already know thousands of words in order to succeed in the classroom. Reading aloud to a child and giving them access to books is the best way to ensure they are prepared to enter kindergarten.

The Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library wants to start a new chapter in early childhood literacy throughout Ohio by providing families with books. With the goal of preparing students entering Kindergarten for success in the classroom, the Imagination Library program will send a customized book to your child each month from birth until age five. Sign up is easy and FREE! Give your Panther the gift of reading & enroll today.
