Laker families,
Parent Teacher Conference Info:
I hope you've had a great fall break and are ready for a strong push through Thanksgiving break. This year the Jr/Sr High is doing parent-teacher conferences a little different than in years past as we are following what the elementary schools have done with two nights of conferences. Tuesday night (10/10) will be the usually open time format in the Aux Gyms like we've run in previous fall conferences only this time they will run from 3:30-7:30pm. Thursday night (10/12) teachers will be in their classrooms and conferences will be by appointment in ten minute time slots. Please reach out to any of your child's teachers that you may wish to have a conference.
AM Drop Off Info:
If you have been dropping your student off in the mornings you know that 4-way stop can get a little backed up. In an effort to reduce some of the traffic there, we are also opening up door 7 (where PM pick up is) in the morning. It should be a great option if you are coming from the Northside of the campus. You can still use door 1 for AM drop off like we have been all year, this is just a second location that could cut down on needing to go to the 4 way stop. As always, if you have questions please reach out to me directly: jschackow@lakelandlakers.net
Have a great night and looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Go Lakers!
