Safety at Dismissal
Student safety during arrival and dismissal times is a priority at Landrum. Currently, we are addressing two issues that are a concern. 1. Students trying to cross between buses to the back parking lot and 2. Students trying to cross Landrum Lane near the YMCA parking lot where there is not a crossing guard posted. This is a serious safety concern. If your child is parent drop off/pick up, we ask that you follow the parent drop off and pick-up procedures and enter only through the parent pick-up loop by the front entrance. Additionally, if your child goes to the YMCA after school we have adults in place to walk them over safely as a group. Please do not to allow your child to exit campus as a walker and then cross back over to the YMCA on their own. We appreciate your
assistance in keeping all of the students at Landrum Middle School safe. Thank you.

Learning Lunch
In February we will begin offering a "Learning Lunch" in our Lion's Den. Teachers will be providing students with a pass to spend their 30 minute lunch period in a quiet atmosphere, supervised by one of our paraprofessionals. Students can finish missing or incomplete work, make corrections or revisions on assignments, and receive additional support. Learning Lunch is not a detention or punishment...it is an opportunity for students to be successful supported in their learning environment. We are proud to be able to offer this additional learning opportunity to our students and are excited to see them grow!
Congratulations to the following students. Their artwork will represent Landrum at the St. John's County Middle School Art Show. Their work will show at the St. Augustine Art Association for the month of February. The reception and announcement of place winners in each category will be on Friday, February 1, to coincide with the 1st Friday Artwalk.
