Lemmon School District Families and Community Members:
This letter will be sent home in Wednesday folders this week. It has become necessary for student privacy and safety and for maximizing our learning environment to enforce a stronger boundary on access to our building. We apologize for any potential inconvenience, but this is one simple step we can take to improve safety for all. These actions do not change our commitment to parent-family-community involvement or providing a welcoming environment.
In preparation, we have already started implementing some of these changes and plan to fully enforce the EST pick-up window between 4:30 and 5:00 PM beginning the week following Thanksgiving.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Mrs. Shawna Carmichael
Superintendent
