Dear LNC 5th Grade Parent,

Welcome to LNC Middle School! We are so excited to meet your student next month. In the meantime, we have two important announcements to share with you.

First, on Tuesday, August 4, between 9:00 – 11:00 AM or between 1:00 – 3:00 PM, please plan to bring your child to school to pick up his or her school technology. There is no sign-up required and you are welcome to bring your child anytime in between those two time ranges. The tech co-pay of $125 must be paid no later than August 3 in order to pick up the iPad. You may pay that co-pay here. 

Next, the first day of school for our 5th grade students is Wednesday, August 11 from 8:00 – 11:30 AM. On this half day of school, our 5th grade students will be the only students in our middle school. This will give our students the opportunity to learn where their homeroom is, walk through an abbreviated version of their class schedule, meet their teachers, find their lockers and begin connecting with their classmates.

Since it’s a half day, students will not have lunch, but they may bring a water bottle. If you ordered an EduKit before June 20, it will be waiting in your student's homeroom. If you did not order an EduKit, please have your child bring his or her school supplies. (Here is the supply list for 5th grade).

This half day will also allow Dr. Graham and Mr. Mavity to meet the class of 2029 and share what our 5th grade students can expect now that they are in middle school. The half day also offers your child a quieter and calmer school environment, which should help students who may be anxious about their first day of 5th grade.

Please note that at this time the state is still requiring masks inside schools. It is possible masks will not be required by the time August 11 comes around. We will continue to monitor state guidance and communicate any health protocols that are in play prior to August 11.

We can’t wait until August 11 to welcome the LNC class of 2029!
