A Note from the School Nurse
Students are not allowed to carry ANY medication on their person 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. The ONLY medications that can be in student’s possession (with proper authorization) are for asthma, diabetes, and severe allergic reactions. If you have any questions or would like your child to have access to these medications in the nurse's office, please contact Nurse Dava at [email protected] for the form.
Students discovered with any medications on them could risk disciplinary action.
A Note from the Front Office
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. Just a reminder that school starts at 8:15.
Lost and Found
We have a LOT of clothingand other items in our Lost and Found. Please come by the school at some point to claim your child's lost clothing. All items not claimed by the end of the school year will be donated either to the uniform closet or to the Dream Center.
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!
Middle School After-School Social
The After School Social for Grades 6-8 will be on Friday, May 17th. Students are invited to stay after school and enjoy pizza, snacks, refreshments, and a shaved ice from the Kona Ice Truck. Cost for the event is $10.00 and can be paid on MySchoolBucks.com. If any parents are willing to volunteer, please email sphifer@labcharterschool.org. We are looking forward to a great time with our students!
A Note from the Reading Coach
Don't forget that May 19th is the final date for our students to participate in the Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars Game Day activities. Make sure you have followed the steps and read the details for pre-game day activities at the following link.
A Note from the PTA
PTA wants to thank the following
- 5Point Church for donating our amazing staff lunch on Wednesday!
-
All the parents who sent in gift cards for our daily giveaways, and the parents who sent in items for our SUN-stational day!
-
Lisa Haselden for delivering lunch for the faculty/staff from Little Pigs Bar-B-Que (Easley) on Friday for lunch!
-
Kayte Elliott for organizing another fun end-of-the-year party!
-
Papa Bear's Car Wash for donating a free car wash to all of our faculty/staff!
Breakfast
Please make sure that students have eaten their breakfast and finished drinking their beverages before exiting the car in the morning. We have more and more students bringing breakfast into the building, and it is leaving a mess in the Dragon's Den, hallways, and classrooms. No coffee, coffee-related beverages, or caffeinated beverages are allowed at any time.
Lunch Reminders
Please remember that students are not allowed to have caffeinated beverages at school at any time while on campus, to include coffee, frappucinos/cappuccinos (or similar), tea, sodas, etc. Please remember this if you are dropping lunch off, having lunch delivered, or bringing your child in late. Also, just a reminder to not send in lunches that need to be heated up. Students do not have access to microwaves, and teachers are not allowed to heat up lunches for the students.
Snacks
Please send a snack 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.
Water Bottles
Do not send in drinks with your child that are not in water bottles that won't spill their contents if they tip over. We have quite a few students coming in with drinks in fast food-type cups or cups with straws. 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. They can also make a huge mess that requires a mop to clean it up or soaks the carpet in the classrooms. If a student forgets a water bottle, they still have access to the water fountains throughout the school.
