Welcome to the 2011-12 school year.  We hope your summer was safe and healthy. Please refer to the Student Health information and forms as well as the following information below. 

Absences

A parent or guardian needs to call the LMES Attendance Line at 203-758-1929 before 9:00 a.m. (a message can be left at anytime during the night or early morning). Absences for travel are unexcused unless the Principal gives a special exception in advance.

If your child arrives to school after 9:00 a.m., they must sign in at the main office.   

Please try to avoid scheduling routine medical, dental, and orthodonture appointments during the school day.

It is important for children to attend school regularly. However, if your child is ill (ie. fever, vomiting/diarrhea) we ask that your child be fever/illness free for 24 hours prior to returning to school.  

Immunizations: Check the new State of CT Immunization requirements.

Kindergarten Registration: All forms for Kindergarten Registration can be found here on the Region 15 website.  The Health Assessment Form  for incoming Kindergartners (completed by the physician) must have all “starred areas” completed and sent to the school as soon as possible.  The exam must have done before 7/30/10 for the 2011-2012 school year.

Physicals for Upcoming 6^th Graders

To all 5th Grade Parents:  If your child is entering 6th grade in Fall 2011, (s)he is required to have a physical on the State of Connecticut form. The physical MUST be before July 30, 2010 for it to be considered their 6th Grade Physical. All physicals are valid for 13 months. Please return the completed form to the appropriate middle school nurse after July 1, 2011.
