Mr. Cole's Announcements

Information and Updates from the Head of School


Parents - We need your help! Many students are coming to school sick or telling us that they were given medicine at home before school. Please keep your students home if they are not feeling well. We have a lot of sickness spreading through our school. To prevent the spread of illness, please follow the Health Guidelines and Policies that you agreed to.


We are praying for a healthy start of the new year!

Office Information and Updates

Inclement Weather Policy

When the weather is a factor in school closings, delays, or early dismissals, LCS follows the more conservative decision made by either Carroll or Baltimore County Public Schools. (Example: If Baltimore County opens 2 hours late and Carroll County is closed, LCS will be closed.)

 

If school opens 2 hours late, the student lunch that can be ordered will always be a pizza meal.

 

Before Care is available at 8:45 am on a 2-hour delay.

 

In the event of inclement weather, we notify changes to our school day in the many ways listed below:

  • The Sycamore homepage (rolling message in upper right-hand margin).
  • Email sent by 6:30 am
  • Text message to your cell phone by 6:30 am. If you would like to be added to this service, please call the front office (410-655-5527) and speak to Mrs. Dumas
  • LCS Daily Info (QR Code)
  • WBAL news 

Wanted

LCS was blessed with a very generous donation in October with a "new to us" conference room table and chairs for our conference room. To make our meetings more effective, we are now in search of a flat-screen monitor approximately 43" or bigger to mount on the wall. If you or someone you know were blessed with a new TV this holiday season and are looking for someone to take your old one off your hands, contact Robin Moran at [email protected]. Blessings!

LCS Day of Prayer

LCS Day of Prayer was such a wonderful way to kick off 2024! More than 70 parents and staff members joined the 24-hour time of prayer, 30 minutes at a time. It was such fun to see it all come together and know that our students and staff arrived at school this week wrapped in the warmth of numerous prayers. Thank you to all who participated!


We would love to continue this spirit of prayer by moving our Lion's Den prayer time to the 3rd Thursday of each month from 2:15-2:50 p.m. starting January 18th. (The following months we'll meet on February 15th, March 21st, April 18th, and May 16th.) You can park your car in the carpool lane (make sure your number is on the dash) and join us. Know that we will keep a strict eye on the time so that the carpool isn't slowed down for other families! Please email Cindy Barr at [email protected] with questions.

BOX TOP$ for Education

Does anyone have an objection to a little healthy competition? The 2nd grade won the last two school challenges and they are running away with BOX TOP$ too!



Let's try to shake things up! BOX TOP$ is an easy way to support LCS. Buy participating products and use the Box Tops app to scan your store receipt. The app identifies eligible products and earnings are credited to your designated school online (LCS). Even if you’re shopping online or doing grocery pickup, you can still submit your digital or email receipt with the Box Tops app and earn. Twice a year, our school gets a check! Click here to see the BOX TOP$ flyer and here to see the full list of eligible products.

LCS Spiritwear

Did you miss the Spiritwear Drive at the beginning of the school year? Many families have asked if they can still purchase items, so we are going to offer a second sale this year, and include a couple of new items as well. Be on the lookout for the next Spiritwear Drive opening in the next several weeks. 

Uniform Closet Update

Winter has arrived so you may want to consider stopping by and look at the sweater collection.  All items are $5.00. Has your child outgrown some of their uniforms? Is your daughter's skirt getting too short? Need to make room in their closets and drawers? Bring your gently used uniforms to help us replenish.   

Serving Our Community

Are you looking for a way to serve the surrounding community? LCS is partnering with Liberty Church to restock their Food Pantry. Click here to view the list of items currently needed to serve the community surrounding LCS and drop your donation off in the School's Front Lobby.
