This will be the schedule for Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday. Student Seminars will occur every Wednesday. On Wednesday, students will not follow a specific schedule, but rather utilize the day as an opportunity for more individualized check-in's with their teachers, either remotely or in the building. For attendance, they will need to check-in with their homeroom teacher by 9:00AM.
The Principal’s Coffee Chats will continue this year. They will be held on the second Tuesday of every month from 8:15-9:15AM. To acclimate you to the new school year, we encourage you to "attend" our beginning of the year coffee chats. Our first chats will be Tuesday, September 8 for 5th grade parents and Wednesday, September 9 for 6th-8th grade parents. Our chats will be virtual until an in-person option is available. In case you were unable to view our last Coffee Chat on August 4, here is the link.
We are currently working on plans for a modified “Back to School Night.” We will share details in the upcoming weeks.
Let me take a moment to introduce our newest MS staff members:
Mr. Carl Bledsoe - 7th grade ELA
Ms. Leigh Anne Painter - 6th grade EC
Ms. Cindy Perrotta - Media Specialist
Ms. Marianne Rogowski - Instructional Technology Facilitator
Ms. Kara Rosenberg - 6th grade ELA
Mr. James Walker - Spanish
In addition, Ms. Sarah Cannon will serve as Ms. Sarah Joplin's long-term substitute while she is out being a new mommy. Finally, Mr. Tim Venable will serve as Ms. Sue Hammond’s long-term substitute until we hire her replacement. We will miss her and wish her the best as she pursues another chapter in her life.
We are definitely in uncharted territory this school year, having to start remotely. Your students will receive virtual introductions from teachers and staff members before the start of school. We will also provide opportunities for all students new to LNC to tour the building prior to the implementation of Plan B, should that occur. We cannot be successful this school year without working TOGETHER! As a staff, we will seek opportunities to support each other and welcome you to partner with us. Each of you has something positive to contribute to help LNC remain the best educational choice for your family. I pray that you remain safe and well.
Yours in education,
