Lawrence Middle School

Greetings families,

This is Andrés Flores, Principal of Lawrence MS to inform you that our school will be closed starting March 21, 22, & 23.  Continuity of learning will occur from home. The school will be closed to receive students.  Every student will have access to printed materials or assignments on Schoology. Student assignment packets will be distributed to students and posted on Schoology by Monday, March 20th.  Students may complete either the paper packet or complete assignments in Schoology by logging into Schoology at lms.lausd.net. New assignments provided during the work stoppage will not count towards a student's grade. Assignments issued to students on March 20th or prior will be graded and counted as usual following individual teacher course guidelines. 

Our main office will be open from 8:00 a.m.  to 4:00 p.m. to help students with device or password issues, or if you need to pick-up a packet.  

We will also be hosting virtual office hours as indicated in the schedule below. Virtual office hours are to assist students in connecting with resources, it is not teaching.

In the meantime, please stay updated by visiting our school website at  https://lawrencems-lausd-ca.schoolloop.com/  daily. 

Thank you. 

Andrés Flores
