Dear LCMS Bobcat Family and Friends:
My
staff and I are counting down the days until we see you and your
children. I am so excited
and proud to be the principal of Louisa County Middle School! After more
than 10 years in MA, it is nice to come back home to my family,
friends, and you.
Recently,
you received a first mailing with a welcome letter and important
information. In
the second mailing that will be mailed to you on Friday, August 1, you
will find your child’s schedule, your child’s Standard Of Learning (SOL)
report, information about the parent portal on PowerSchool, and a
reminder about busing and transportation.
As always, please feel free to contact me at chenlc@lcps.k12.va.us
if you have questions, concerns, or any feedback that you would like to share.
The following are some important updates and announcements.
Announcements
Welcome Letter and Opening Day Information for Students
Please see the attachments, “Welcome Letter” and “Important Information” to see what was
mailed home to you.
PowerSchool Parent Portal Closed
The
parent portal for PowerSchool has been closed temporarily as my
assistant principals
and guidance counselors are reviewing student schedules. The portal will
be turned back on Tuesday, August 5 after 7:00 p.m. By then, you should
have received information on your child’s schedule in the second
mailing. You will also have the opportunity to
see your child’s schedule on PowerSchool using the parent portal access.
In case you have forgotten your username and password, that information
will be mailed to you in the second mailing, which will be mailed on
Friday, August 1.
