In This Issue

All students are welcome to participate. Daily announcements will tell students where to report each day. Homework hall is open from 4 to 5 PM, Monday to Thursday and will be monitored by a teacher. Students are expected to be on time, bring study materials, work hard, and remain the entire time. Students are not permitted to leave early so that we can ensure adequate supervision while on campus. The teacher will release students at 5 PM and students should go to the car rider line for pickup.

Please note that the late bus will start AFTER the Labor Day holiday.

Volunteers Needed!

We need lunch monitors for the 6th Grade lunch, 11:20 to 12:00 and we have an easy way for you to sign up: www.mysignup.com/ltmslunchmonitor

Friday, September 2nd

8:00am

LTMS Auditorium

Meeting will include officer nominations.

"How did you know I got a zero on my science homework?"
The answer is easy ... TxConnect. Now is the time for you to create a log in ID so you can have up-to-date access to your child's grades and attendance activity. The kids may not like it when mom and dad are so promptly informed, but we know it is great to never be surprised at report card time again.

No-Hassle Fundraiser

Did you know LTMS PTO has a "No Sell" policy? We don't ask your kids to sell a thing or hold an event to raise money for your PTO's donations to the school. What we do is put on a great Non-Event. It's called the No Hassle Fundraiser.

Here are highlights of where your one time donation will go:

The Library is our number one priority this year. We're buying books, equipment and supplies for much needed updates.
Grade level funds - The teachers in each grade work as a team to decide where funds allocated for your child's grade are needed most.
Days of fun and revelry! Knight Games, May Day, Field Trips and Social Events. Fun! Fun! Fun! for our students, teachers and staff. They work so hard all year to make LTMS an exemplary school!

Please consider giving a NO HASSLE FUNDRAISER donation to the LTMS PTO. We have made it more convenient to give this year by adding "PayPal".
Visit www.ltmspto.org to donate today!
