Fort Larned USD 495

A super big THANK YOU to these first graders for leading the Pledge of Allegiance at the Board of Education meeting last night! #larnedpride

Good luck to our LMS musicians this afternoon at the CKL Music Festival here at Larned Middle School. Reminder that 6-8 students will be dismissed at noon today to account for the other schools students at the festival.

School social workers focus on the “whole-child”, linking families to community resources, a valuable voice as part of the school’s multi-disciplinary team, and advocating for the profession of School Social Work. Thank you, Tina, Krysten, and Kenzie! #NSWW23 #larnedpride

Nominations are open to be submitted by students and fellow staff members at LES to select one certified staff member and one classified staff member as their Superhero Staff Member of the Month!

This staff member shows compassion to not only the students but also to other staff members as well. Miss Converse is super kind and sweet to everybody new and old. Mrs. Dryden (certified) is the Guardian of the Galaxy! This staff member's super powers include always looking out for others and being the gravity that holds the galaxy together!

We are still experiencing issues with incorrect lunch balances being exported from Skyward. As a result, we have not enabled the low lunch balance notifications. To view your student(s) current balance, please log in to your Skyward Family Access account and look at the Food Service tab in the left column. This will show you the balance for student(s). We apologize for the inconvenience.

Come see us tonight! #lesfamily
