Parking Lot Reminders - Please Read Carefully!
Please make sure you are following the designated lanes for traveling through the school's parking lot. Do not cut down the aisle to avoid the curvy part of the traffic pattern by the field for both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. The only ones with permission are teachers who need to park. There have been some close calls from parents cutting down the aisle and not following the designated lane. Also, please watch your speed. It has been observed that some cars are driving fast on the property. Finally, observe the entrance and exit points - cars are leaving the property through the front entrance, which creates a hazard for cars entering the property. All cars must exit onto Frank Parrott Road on the drop-off/pick-up side of the building. Furthermore, do not enter the property through the exit. The SCDOT established the traffic pattern, entrance, and exit for the property for the safety of students, teachers, and parents. Please adhere to the protocol established by the SCDOT.
Lunch Reminders
Please remember that students are not allowed to have caffeinated beverages at school. Please remember this if you are dropping lunch off, having lunch delivered, or bringing your child in late.
Dress Code Reminders - Please Read Carefully!
No leggings are allowed on any day, including Friday Dress Down Days and/or other "Themed" Days (even if they fall on a Friday) unless they are under a dress or skirt. Any student wearing leggings with a short shirt/top/sweatshirt will be given something to wear from the Uniform Closet.
Skirts, skorts, and shorts cannot be shorter than 2" above the knee. We have a lot of students coming in with very short skirts, skorts, and shorts. Those students will be given something to wear from the Uniform Closet.
Only solid-color or Lakes and Bridges Spirit Wear hoodies or sweatshirts are allowed. Any other sweatshirt or hoodie will be required to be removed upon entering the building. Also, a collared, polo-style shirt or LABCS t-shirt must be worn underneath - no exceptions.
No jeans or clothing can have rips or tears on them even if there is something underneath the tear or rip. This includes Friday Dress Down Days.
A Note from the Front Office
Snacks and Water Bottles
Please send a snack and a water bottle with your child every day (please do not send in cups - stainless or plastic - with straws as these make a mess when they tip over and can potentially destroy equipment in the classroom). The school does not provide snacks or water bottles for students. If a student forgets a water bottle, they still have access to the water fountains throughout the school.
Tardies
If you arrive after 8:15, you will drop your child off at the front office. After 8:20, you must walk your child into the school and sign them in.
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.
Spring MAP Testing will occur the week of March 18-22. Please try not to schedule appointments or trips during this week.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Wendye Henderson, our Testing Coordinator, at
[email protected].
A Note from the Reading Coach
Our "March Book Madness" brackets are down to the Elite 8 this week. Ask your child about which books they have been voting for in their grade level's book bracket!
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!
