LGMS EXTRACURRICULAR REMINDERS
YEARBOOK:
Yearbook Club will meet Wednesday May 23rd. Students should plan on staying until 4:15 unless there is a conflict and students need to leave earlier.
MUSIC STUDENTS:
The 8th grade orchestra, choir and band will be performing during the 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony on Friday, June 1st. Students that are in one of these music ensembles must arrive by 4:15 pm to their music classroom. Tuning of instruments, warming up voices and taking a class picture will take place at this time. After this, students will put their instruments at their designated seats and then be dismissed to get into the line up with the rest of the 8th grade class. Students will remain in their gowns while they perform. Soon, students will receive their Solo & Ensemble medals in their music class. They are encouraged to wear these as well as any from the rest of their middle school career, as they deem appropriate. Once students are finished performing they will put their instruments in the boys (orchestra) or girls (band) locker room for safe keeping. After the promotion ceremony is finished, instrumentalists must go back into the locker rooms to retrieve their instruments. Any school instruments need to be returned to their music classroom and personal instruments should go home with the students. We are looking forward to performing with our 8th graders one last time at the Promotion Ceremony!
CROSS COUNTRY

BREAKFAST:
Breakfast is served starting at 7:00 a.m.
The cafeteria area is only open to students purchasing breakfast.
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.

DI Info
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.
