🚗 LCWM Elementary Drop-Off Zone Reminders 🚗

Please help keep our drop-off and pick-up area safe and moving smoothly!
✅ Do not leave your vehicle in the drop-off/pick-up zone—traffic needs to keep flowing to prevent backups.
✅ If you need to exit your vehicle, please park in the parking lot.
✅ New this year: The specialty bus loading/unloading zone is now a no-parking area, even for quick stops. This area will soon be painted for easy recognition.

💙 As always, thank you for showing kindness to the paras assisting in the drop-off area—they are working hard to keep our students safe!

September is School Board Appreciation Month!

Please join us in thanking our school board members for being the guiding light for student success at LCWM. We appreciate the time and effort they put into LCWM - equipping our staff to "Educate for Tomorrow's World".

Our students had a great time starting the day with morning greetings and breakfast alongside the LCWM High School Football Team! 🏈💙

There were lots of smiles this morning at the elementary as the kids came from the drop off lane, the bus lane, and all corners of our communities! We are thrilled to welcome back our students and are looking forward to a "sweet" year!

The 2024-25 yearbooks are here! Mrs. Jones will have a table set up during open house so make sure to stop by and pick up your order! Open house will be tomorrow from 3:30-5:30! If you didn't order one but wish you did, there are a couple available for purchase also!

We are so grateful for the continued support that helps ensure every student is ready for a successful school year! Please stop by the LCWM Elementary Office if your child could benefit from these donations. ✏️✨

A special thanks to Madelia Clinic and Lake Crystal First Presbyterian Church for the amazing donation of school supplies!

Over the last two days, LCWM staff members attended the "I Love U Guys" safety training with other school districts in Blue Earth and Nicollet counties. It was an excellent two day session where staff gained the knowledge and confidence they need to enhance school safety and preparedness. This immersive training covered the history, concepts and functionality of the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and the Standard Reunification Method. Thank you to Blue Earth County for providing this opportunity to our staff!

We have moved from demolition to full reconstruction on our referendum projects happening this summer! Jackson and Associates continue to put in the work, even on the hottest summer days, on the roof and the panel installation at the elementary; Nielsen Blacktopping has been ready to put the first layer of asphalt down (a couple times now thanks to the rains we've had) with hopes of laying asphalt this week; and the track and football field are getting closer to completion, too!

As we enter this final stretch, we ask everyone to continue avoiding the parking lots and driveways at both buildings. Driving on these surfaces can create extra work for our construction crews. We truly appreciate your ongoing patience and cooperation as we bring these exciting upgrades to the finish line!
