PARENT AND STUDENT REMINDERS
|
STUDENT PICK UP: If you need to pick up your student during the day, we ask that you please send a note with your student in the morning with a time that you will be picking them up. That way we can write them a pass to hand to their teacher when it's time to leave. This avoids having to disrupt classes by calling in looking for a student.
BUS PASSES: If your student will be riding the bus home with a friend, please send a letter in the morning indicating who he/she will be going home with. We will then issue a bus pass.
LATE START: Late starts are the second Thursday of each month. On those days, school begins at 9:30 a.m. We ask that students not be dropped off earlier than 9:20 a.m. Buses run 2 hours later than normal pick up time.
LATE BUSES: Late buses run as follows:
Monday - Thursday: 3:35 p.m., 4:20 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Friday: 3:35 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
LATEX BALLOONS; We have students with latex allergies so please, no latex balloons.

WATER ONLY. Please, no other liquids.

MUSIC STUDENTS
ATTEND OPERA
|
|
The LGMS 8th grade music students attended the opera
Rigoletto at the Civic Lyric Opera House.
Our students were exceptional ambassadors of our music program, school district, and community. We were so proud to know these students! They made a long day enjoyable! We would also like to recognize our sponsor: The Lake Geneva Chapter of the Lyric Opera for making this possible. This was a once in a lifetime experience for many of these students. Thank you to all of the parent chaperones for spending the day with our students! We would not be able to do these trips without the help and support of our volunteers.

Title 1 District Wide Information:
Title I is a federal program that is used to work with students who would need extra assistance in reading skills. Recently, every school in the Lake Geneva School district became a School-wide Title school . Schoolwide programs allow the schools greater flexibility on how they utilize specialists in each building. Students that are identified as needing extra services in reading will still receive reading services however specialists may also be used in additional ways such as coaching, co-teaching to assist all of our students, and enhance our reading program as a whole.

Offerings On Our LGMS Website
|
|
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
