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.

Mr. Ocker took nine Lake Geneva Middle School students to attend the “Sweet 2B Me” conference at Fort Atkinson Middle School on Oct. 3. The students were chosen based on being in 90% in both reading and math map scores and counselors and administrators recommendation. It was a day full of fun, engaging workshops and teambuilding activities that focused on social emotional leadership skills, interpersonal communication and skills, cooperative games as well as social and emotional wellness. Topics included dealing with anxiety, building strong and healthy relationships, being assertive without being bossy, and how to be an advocate for yourself. More than 180 students that were high-achieving seventh and eighth graders from middle schools throughout Southeastern Wisconsin were invited to attend.

LAKE GENEVA'S VERY OWN OFFICER LANDIS SHARES MUSIC

On Wednesday, Lake Geneva's very own Officer Landis performed for the LGMS orchestra students. He played a beautiful version of Amazing Grace, the Orange Blossom Special, Crystallize (by Lindsey Stirling) and finished off with the Mario Brothers theme song! Students came up with some great questions also. He had powerful talking points about leadership, citizenship and work ethic. The students really enjoyed the performance - please ask your student about it. Many thanks for Officer Landis for taking time to come and play for us!

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!"
