What’s New at LCS
clobes@lafayettecharter.k12.mn.us
Thank you for your cooperation last week with the school closings and delays. Our first priority is our students and keeping them, our LCS families and LCS staff safe. Reminder that when we have a 2 hour hours late, school will begin at 10:10am. An automated text message, phone call and e-mail will be sent. We also post our school closures/delays on Kare 11, KSTP, WCCO, Fox 9, KEYC tv stations and their websites. We also post on KNUJ radio & website. If you have any issues or would like to add a phone number or e-mail to our notification system, please let Megan know.
This week brings the end of 2nd quarter. Please watch for student report cards to come home mid-next week. We also have an early out on Friday, Jan. 14th for teacher in-service.
On Tuesday, PROS will meet at 3:15pm in the technology lab. Any new members are welcome to join us! If you have any questions, let me know.
Students have been busy prepping for their Ag Fair projects. If you’d like to make a donation for student projects, we’re always looking for tag board. Contact Mrs. Walters if you have any questions.
As always, contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
Mrs. Clobes
