| Good morning LAMS families, Our team was happy to see your scholars back on campus! They were ready to learn and have fun. We saw scholars being leaders, accountable, motivated and safe. This week the LAMS admin team will provide students with the annual safety presentation. Monday 7th graders will receive the presentation first followed by 8th grade scholars on Tuesday. In this presentation LAMS scholars learn how to be successful on campus by learning or reviewing expectations and rewards for positive behavior on campus. The goal is to provide students with clarity on their role and who they can talk to when they need help. We ask all scholars to be leaders, accountable, motivated and safe! This week we have our first round of sports tryouts. Please refer to the flyer above or in weekly events below. If your scholar is interested make sure they arrive with appropriate sports attire and water for the full tryout time. We have other sports tryouts to be announced soon including: 7th grade girls volleyball, boys soccer and cross country. So stay tuned! The LAMS newsletter will be sent out each weekend to provide you with essential school information and a look at the week ahead. Please review and let me know if there is anything else you would like to see in our newsletter. Go falcons! Kaw kaw! What amazing things will your scholar do this year? - Principal Hansen lhansen@mpusd.net |

MPUSD No Longer Allows Outside Food Vendor Deliveries to Schools (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.) At MPUSD, the health, safety, and well-being of every student is a priority of our district and schools. In recent years, we have seen an increase in outside food delivery programs (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.) bringing food to students during the school day. This has caused significant disruption in a variety of ways. As a reminder the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District no longer allows outside food delivery to school campuses from delivery service companies. This was put into place in the 2023-2204 school year. Click here for more details. Advertise Your Company/Organization in the LAMS Gym! Looking for a new way to advertise your business/organization?
