A Note from the Front Office
No lunches will be served on Monday, February 12. Students will need to bring a lunch from home on that day.
Letters of Intent for families will be sent out via a Google Form on Monday, February 26, and will be due Friday, March 1. Please check your emails for the link on Monday, February 26.
A Note from the School Nurse
Please note the updated medication policy:
All medication must be in the original, unopened container, and the parent/guardian must come into the school, and the medication must be handed directly to the nurse or front office.
Please contact Mrs. Dava House, School Nurse, if you have any questions at (864) 671-6265 or [email protected].
A Note from the Testing Coordinator
Also, please make a note of the other testing dates this year. No appointments or trips should be planned during these dates. Just a reminder that state testing will be done on Chromebooks this year and not paper/pencil, so any extra practice typing, either through typing.com or you dictating lists (for example, grocery lists, things to do on the weekend, etc.), will be helpful.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Wendye Henderson, our Testing Coordinator, at [email protected].
What Can I Do at Home to Help My Child?
If you would like to have some activities to reinforce what your child is learning at school, have them get on any one of the following sites to have continued practice in typing, academics, or reading (they should all have their login information to each of these sites since they use them as enrichment). If they don't remember their login information, please reach out to their homeroom teacher to get it. They should be able to access each of these from a personal device at home.
A Note from the Reading Coach
At LABCS we know that LEADERS MAKE READERS...so, we are challenging our students to read as much as they can by February 23. We are partnering with Learning Ally and the Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars to challenge our readers to become better leaders!

A Note from the Student Council
Eyeglass Recycling
Our Lakes and Bridges Student Council President recently attended the monthly meeting for the Lions Club of Easley. The Lions Club has many fundraisers and community efforts and we are happy to partner with them in their mission to provide eyeglasses to those in need. If you have any eyeglasses you are no longer using, please consider donating them. We have a collection bucket in the lobby. Any donated eyeglasses will be processed by the Lions Club for distribution to optical missions around the world. We are so proud of our Student Council President for her initiative and so glad to help our community at large!
