This Thursday afternoon, May 23rd, all 8th graders will turn in their Chromebooks and chargers. To avoid any fees for damages or loss, please begin locating Chromebooks and chargers now so they can turned in Thursday afternoon. Lost chargers cost $45. Cash, card, or checks made payable to A. R. Rucker Middle can be sent to cover any fees. Rising ninth graders will be issued new Chromebooks in August from their new high schools.
Beginning this summer, LCSD will phase out our current email/call communication system, Blackboard Connect. It will be replaced with Apptegy Alerts. Be on the lookout for communication from this new system and do not "delete" or "unsubscribe." Remember, this communication is from the school and the district, and lots of important information is shared through this email/call system. We want to ensure you get updates this summer regarding information for the start of the 2024-2025 school year! Text messages will be received from 98900. An image of the Text Message can be seen here.
