Dear LMS Family
Governor McMaster has ordered all South Carolina public schools to be closed through March 31, 2020. Because we value learning and education, we will continue to provide learning experiences appropriate for your child’s age and grade throughout the upcoming weeks. Teachers at your child’s school have developed learning packets and will be available for pick up on Wednesday, March 18 from 8:00-9:00 am and from 11:00-12:00 pm. These instructional packets have five (5) days of instructional lessons/activities broken down day by day. Please have students complete these lessons daily. All completed work will be due 3 days after students return to school. The second week’s instructional packets will be available March 25, 2020 for pick up at the schools. Links to instructional packets will be available on the school’s website for downloading.
Teachers will have weekday office hours via email and/or phone to assist you and your student(s) beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020 (elementary 9:00 am-12:00pm, middle 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, high 11:00 am-2:00 pm). Please contact your child’s teacher if you need the login information for Imagine Learning or other passwords. I will be available Monday-Thursday during school hours at the school if you need assistance. Feel free to call me at the school. Please leave a message, if I do not answer, and I will return your call.
Please continue to check the school district’s website for any changes in plans or schedules. We appreciate your patience as we work through the details surrounding this challenging situation.
Sincerely

Haga que los estudiantes trabajen en estas lecciones diariamente. Todo el trabajo que se complete se deberá entregar tres días después de que los estudiantes hayan regresado a la escuela. Los paquetes de instrucción de la segunda semana estarán disponibles el 25 de marzo de 2020 para que sean recogidos en las escuelas. Los enlaces (links) de los paquetes de instrucción estarán disponibles en el sitio web de la escuela para ser descargados.
A partir de miércoles 18 de marzo del 2020, los maestros tendrán horario de oficina entre semana por correo electrónico y / o teléfono para ayudarlo a usted y a su (s) estudiante (s).

Si necesita ayuda o tiene alguna pregunta, estaré disponible de lunes a jueves durante el horario escolar. No dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo si así lo requiere. Si no contesto, deje su mensaje y le devolveré la llamada tan pronto como sea posible.
Revise de manera frecuente el sitio web del Distrito Escolar para ver si hay cambios en los planes u horarios. Agradecemos su paciencia mientras trabajamos en los detalles que rodean esta difícil situación.
