March 18, 2020 Dear LM Community, Thank you so much for your patience, flexibility and support during this uncertain time. You have been doing a great job as teachers and families taking part in Flexible Instruction Days (FIDs) and finding ways to support one another, and we are so grateful! Included below are a few of the latest reminders and updates. Schoolwork Assignments Reminder: While we are operating on Flexible Instruction Days this week and continue this alternative classroom instruction next week, this work counts as a school day in lieu of making up days into the summer. This means students should be completing and turning in assignments as close to the due dates possible as requested by teachers. We recognize with this alternative classroom instruction that we are all doing our best, and are trying to be flexible as we adapt to virtual instruction. Thank you so much for working through this with us! Lancaster Food Availability: Free Meal Offerings (subject to change): Anchorage Breakfast (29 E.
