LMS e-blast

The main office is the hub of our school and is a very busy location. To help limit traffic and minimize distractions in that location we remind you that we will not accept lunch deliveries from outside sources, this includes families dropping off lunches from outside sources. If your child forgets to bring a lunch please remember that this year there is NO cost to students for breakfast OR lunch.

At no time should a student place orders through outside sources (GrubHub, UberEats, etc.) expecting a delivery.

No pets are allowed at sporting events at Linkhorne Middle School.

Please utilize the designated car lane in the morning to drop your student off at school. Please do not go to the second row because this will have your student crossing through traffic.

REMINDER: While shopping for your holiday feasts and gifts during Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and winter holidays, please check to be sure LMS PTO is linked to your Kroger card and your Amazon Smile account! These businesses donate to us based on your purchases at no cost to you!

We are grateful for our LMS students and families and we wish you all the best as you celebrate this season of gratefulness and reflection.

My Schools Bucks is available for Chromebook Insurance protection purchase.

Insurance is not required but highly recommended. Only $20 vs. the nearly $400 to replace a lost or damaged item.

You will need your student's # to purchase and you will need to pick LMS as the school.

ADP - Additional Damage Protection (Chromebook Insurance)

Families are responsible for the cost of repairs or replacing the device. Families can purchase device insurance to help reduce these potential costs for $20. Insurance may be purchased through MySchoolBucks on the school website or by dropping off a check to the school bookkeeper.

If you choose to purchase the ADP coverage for the Chromebook for $20 a year. This coverage is as follows:

• 1st incident of accidental damage or loss of Chromebook: No cost. However, if the equipment is lost or stolen, the student and/or parent/guardian must file a police report with the School Resource Officer within 48 hours. The student and/or parent/guardian must immediately report to school personnel any damage to or the loss or malfunctioning of the equipment.

• 2nd incident of accidental damage or loss of Chromebook: Repair cost or 50% of the replacement, whichever is less

• 3rd and subsequent incident of accidental damage or loss: 100% of repair or replacement, whichever is less

• NOTE: The charger and bag are not covered by the ADP.

The optional insurance will be available beginning August 23 via My School Bucks or direct payment through the school Bookkeeper. Students will have until 5pm, Friday, September 17th to purchase insurance.

Students who purchased insurance on their currently-issued device from last year, are still covered until 5pm, Tuesday August 31st or until they receive a new device, whichever comes first.
