A Note from the Principal
End-of-Quarter Survey
If you have not yet filled out the end-of-first-quarter survey, please click here. We are asking for parent names so that we can address any concerns.
A Note from the School Nurse
Students are not allowed to carry ANY medication them without physician permission, parent/guardian permission, and school permission to self-administer and self-monitor (SC Law S144). This includes over-the-counter pain relievers and allergy and cold medications. Over-the-counter medications can be stored in the nurse's office with parent permission (physician permission is not needed). The ONLY medications that can be in the student’s possession (with the physican permission) are for asthma, diabetes, and severe allergic reactions. If you need a medication permission form or have any questions please contact Nurse Dava at [email protected] for the form.
A Note from the Front Office
Lost and Found
We have a lot of clothing and water bottles that belong to students but have not been claimed by them. They do not have any kind of identification on the labels or bottles. Please come by to see what belongs to your child. Anything left at Winter Break will be donated to those in need.
Absence Notes
If your student is absent please submit a parent note or a doctor's note within 3 days of your child returning to school. Please send all school excuses to Michelle Tennant at mtennant@labcharterschool.org.
If you bring your student to school late, 8:15 or later, you must walk in with them and sign them in.
A Note from the Development Director
Our Annual Fundraising Campaign is still going strong! Until the end of the calendar year, we're focusing our fundraising efforts on monies that provide flexible support to help bridge the gap between the limited public funding we receive and the cost of making Lakes & Bridges the unique school that it is.
Fundraising goal = $50,000
Donations received (as of 11/16) = $15,987
Only $34,013 to go!
There are several ways to make a tax-deductible gift:
-
-
By check made out to Lakes and Bridges Charter School with "Annual Campaign" in the memo line
-
By cash in an envelope with your name, the amount, and "Annual Campaign" on it and given to the front office
-
Through your IRA minimum distribution requirement -- contact your financial advisor
-
THANK YOU! WIthout donors like you, Lakes & Bridges could not provide the distinctive instruction and support that we offer to our amazing student innovators.
