Dear LMCS Families & Friends:
As our nation mourns the senseless loss of life that occurred yesterday, as a result of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. I ask that you keep those families impacted by this senseless and needless tragedy in your thoughts and prayers.
Our counselors and students support team are available to provide assistance to students or staff members that may need help in processing these events. Additionally, we are working with our School Resource Officer and the NYS Police for additional on-site support and visibility in the coming days.
We also understand that speaking with your children about events like this can be extremely challenging. Below are some resources that may help in those discussions and many more are available through our student support team.
