SOUL CLUB DOLLAR DASH FUNDRAISER |
|
SOUL Club's Dollar Dash fundraiser was able to have the treats delivered to Lakeland Aurora Hospital workers recently and the night shift workers were able to enjoy the treats! They were delivered donuts, veggies and dip, cheese and crackers, and flowers on behalf of the LGMS Students. Delavan Piggly Wiggly delivered all of the treats prepackaged for their staff.
One of the workers shared these pictures and said, "Everybody absolutely loved the treats! They were all so touched to think that middle school students were so thoughtful! The veggies and cheese were a huge hit! Everyone was so happy! Thank you again so much!"
Excellent job, LGMS! We were able to brighten the day for these hard workers!

It was a great week of mentorship in our jazz program. Badger High School Jazz students joined our 6th grade rehearsal on Tuesday to help teach our students a jazz standard by ear: C Jam Blues. And...a group of LGMS jazz kids have been asking for help at starting a jazz combo. More BHS jazz students and Mr. Ott stayed after school today and had a pretty epic jam sesh.
Thank you BHS Jazz for inspiring these kids!

VIRTUAL/BLENDED STUDENTS AND PARENTS ONLY |
|
For our Virtual/Blended students during class time:
1. It is very important that the student is on time to class. Students,please be waiting for a few minutes before the start of class time in order to click on at the beginning of class. The teachers are taking attendance and beginning class with activities. When a student joins the class late, it causes a disruption both on-line and for the students who are in-person.
2. Students need to have their cameras on during class unless the teacher says otherwise. The teachers need to see the students when they are taking attendance and during instruction.
3. The Chat feature during Google Meet is for asking questions of the teachers or answering their questions. It is not for the students to talk to each other during class.
Chromebook Problems? Please follow these steps:
If a student is having tech problems with the device, you, or a parent/guardian, should send an email to techsupport@badger.k12.wi.us. Please include the words "Virtual Student Tech Help" in the subject line. Explain what is happening in as much detail as possible, including what you were doing when the problem happened. We will respond with some things to try but ultimately you may have to bring the device to Chromebook Corner. If we cannot fix it quickly we will issue a loaner while yours is getting repaired. We configure the loaners on a case by case basis so they can wait while we do that or come back.

MISCELLANEOUS INFO TO KNOW |
|
BREAKFAST: Breakfast is served starting at 7:00 a.m. The cafeteria area is only open to students purchasing breakfast.
STUDENT PICK UP: If you need to pick up your student during the day, we ask that you please send a note with your student in the morning with a time that you will be picking them up. That way we can write them a pass to hand to their teacher when it's time to leave. This avoids having to disrupt classes by calling in looking for a student.
BUS PASSES: If your student will be riding the bus home with a friend, please send a letter in the morning indicating who he/she will be going home with. We will then issue a bus pass.
LATE BUSES - NEW THIS YEAR:
Late buses run as follows:
3:30 p.m. - Tuesdays and Thursdays
4:15 p.m. - Mondays through Thursdays
LATEX BALLOONS: We have students with latex allergies so please, no latex balloons.
WATER BOTTLES: Students are allowed to have water bottles during the school day - WATER ONLY. Please, no other liquids.
|
|
Chromebook Care
Parents and Students: While we understand that accidents happen, it is important that students do their best to properly care for their chromebook. Should something happen to the chromebook, students should complete a Chromebook Repair Request form and take it, along with their chromebook, to the LMC.
