LAS Principal's Corner

D ear Parents, The holiday spirit is in the air at LAS with our youngest students singing in the hallways and our band members working hard as the concert approaches! The Giving Tree in the office is almost bare  and it is evident that giving is on   everyone's  mind as well.  Our honors breakfast is scheduled for next Friday morning and will begin at 7:30 am in the cafeteria. All students in grades 5-8 are invited.  I had the opportunity to meet with our 8th graders today and we had a nice conversation about the meaning of the word legacy. I presented an  idea  to them that framed the conversation and let them know that as a class they are being given the opportunity to sign the last steel beam that will go up on the crane. We are consistently looking for ways to talk about the contributions they can be making as young adults and what they feel they can leave to LAS. There are still many months left and their budding maturity has enhance d  the conversation

Dear Parents,  I am sorry to have to tell you that we will be losing our main office door due to the progression of the construction project. Although I am thankful we have been able to use it until now, coming in and out of the school now becomes a little more challenging.  If you need to come into the school during the school day you can do so in the rear of the building. Cameras and buzzers have been installed and are in use. Visitors into our building will still be required to come to the office, sign in, and wear a badge while in the building. This will begin tomorrow. Hopefully this will only last a couple of months. Click here for information regarding blizzard bags . A committee of teachers has worked hard to put a thoughtful blizzard bag initiative into place with improvements each year. This letter will explain in more depth what will take place in the event school must be canceled.  Thank you, Beth Raucci Principal Lincoln Akerm
