8th Grade Recognition Ceremony Slideshow Pictures Needed
Beginning today, December 1, through January 31, we need your 8th graders’ Kindergarten or 1st grade pictures for our End-of Year slide show shown at the Recognition Ceremony. Please send a digital (.jpeg) copy to lnc20188thgradepics@gmail.com. Mrs. Tonia Wiley-Genco will be collecting and recording the pictures for us. Please do not send baby pictures as only one kindergarten or 1st grade picture of your individual child will be included. Please be on the lookout after the winter break for information regarding gathering pictures of your child with their friends from field trips, school functions, or school activities such as sports from 5th–8th grade that include more than two students. Thank you for helping us make this a special time for the students.

Thank you for supporting these Builders’ Club fundraisers. All of the proceeds go toward helping someone in need.
5th-7th Grade MAP Testing
Students in 5th, 6th and 7th grades will be testing the mornings of Monday, December 18 and Tuesday, December 19. We are asking for your help in ensuring your child gets a good night's sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and is on time for school each morning as we will begin testing by 8:15am. Please remind your child to take the test seriously and to do his/her best work. The MAP is an online test and therefore your student's iPad is essential in order to complete the test. Please make sure that your student's iPad is fully charged and that your child brings his or her iPad to school both days. We do not have enough loaners to provide to students who forget their iPads.
As always, we appreciate your partnership with us in your child's education. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Graham at cgraham@lncharter.org.

Please note: LNC policy applies to anything students access on their school-issued iPads, including ONE Access materials. Our book/resource checkout policy is based on the LNC honor code. If parents do not want their child to read a particular book or genre, we expect students to respect those wishes.
