6th, 7th & 8th Grade Orientation
Reminder-6th Grade Open House is tonight at 6pm and 7th and 8th grade are Thursday night at 6 pm. This is an opportunity to spend 10-15 minutes with each teacher. Due to limited space in the classrooms, we ask that it be a parent only attended event. Finally, please remember to bring a copy of your child's schedule to the open house. We will not have extra copies of the schedule printed. If you are having trouble getting into Parent Portal for your child's schedule please email kim_holmes@charleston.k12.sc.us

Chess Club
Students interested in joining the Laing Chess Team should come by the front desk to pick up a registration form. All forms must be returned by Sept 15.

School Musical
Auditions for the musical SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK will be Tuesday, Sept. 5 & Thursday Sept. 7 from 3:45-5:30pm in Ms. Brunson's chorus room 1 77. Students only need to go to one of those dates not both. Students will be required to sing, act & dance. All students are welcome to audition. Students need to see Mr. Palma in room 165 if they have any questions.
