Safety measures for MEMS:
1. LPSS has asked all school personnel to discontinue any electronic communication (facebooks, twitters, texts, emails, calls...) with students. This excludes school sponsored activities communication.
2. MEMS will allow a fax or signed parent note to change your child's dismissal procedure. PHONE CALLS will no longer be an acceptable method to change your child's regular procedure for returning home. Please understand this is for safety reasons!
A.R.: Please see REN Connect to monitor your child's progress in Accelerated Reading. 2nd grade does NOT give grades for the A.R. program, however the program is highly encouraged and students are rewarded for efforts and points accumulated.
