Unicycle School Uniform Recycling Collection

We have exciting news!!!  LDC has signed up to partner with UniCycle!  UniCycle is a school uniform recycling program, which collects outgrown SSA items and redistributes them to MNPS students in need. 

UniCycle collects the following items:
✓ Collared shirts in solid colors, all sizes, long and short-sleeved (i.e. polo-style shirts)
✓ Shorts, Pants, Dreses and Skirts in Khaki, Navy Blue and Black
✓ Belts and Leggings – all colors and patterns (to wear under skirts and dresses)
✓ Shoes and Coats

During the week of January 14th-18th, send clothing in with your child to donate to UniCycle.  We will send out more info after the holiday break, but we wanted to make sure that everyone holds onto any outgrown clothing items in the meantime. 

And a special thanks to our UniCycle parent volunteers, Maggie Berry and Jamie Matthews.  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out Maggie, Jamie or Jaime Drown with the PTO.  We will keep you update on our progress, and we are very excited about our partnership with UniCycle.

Holiday Treats for Lockeland Teachers and Staff on Dec. 17th

Sign Up HERE! 

This year, we're doing something special for our amazing LDC teachers and staff to show our appreciation for how hard they work every day to make Lockeland such an incredible place. We're planning a Holiday Treats Table so that our teachers and staff can pack a container full of goodies to take home and enjoy with their families. However, WE NEED YOUR HELP! 

Please sign-up to bring 4 dozen (yes, that's a lot of treats, but we have 41 people to cover! Please feel free to bring more or less depending on your ability). Homemade is preferable, but not essential. Please bring individually separated treats like cookies, brownies, dessert bars, candies, etc (no cakes or pies, please). They DO NOT have to be individually bagged. Grandparents, Aunts/Uncles, friends, etc. are welcome to contribute!

Please bring your treats to the Conference Room at LDC the morning of Monday, Dec. 17th from 7:45-10am (down the left side, before the Teacher's Lounge). Teachers will be coming to gather their goodies during lunch that day. Thank you for helping to sprinkle our hard-working Lockeland crew with holiday cheer!

NOTE: There are an unlimited number of slots available. Please click through and be sure to comment with what you'll be bringing and use the quantity field to tell us how many dozen of that item, too. Thanks!

Date: 12/17/2018 (Mon.)

Time: 7:45am - 10:00am CST

Location: Lockeland Conference Room

MNPS School Options Information

YOU HAVE OPTIONS!

Families living in the Nashville metropolitan area have more than 160 public schools available to them in their neighborhoods and nearby communities. Metro Schools offer a wide variety of unique academic programs, supports, and extracurricular activities in locations that span the city so that every student has access to the tools they need to be successful.

Your child is unique and we are prepared to work with that. We at Metro Schools have the infrastructure and resources to accommodate any set of needs that your child might have. You will likely spend significant time searching for the right school, or the right programs for you child, and we are here to help! Partnering with you and your family, we will strive to provide your child with the educational experience they need in order to graduate prepared to be successful in college, the professional world, and in life.

The school choice application process for the 2019-20 school year should begin in January 2019. The later start date will allow the district and school board time to finalize plans for MNPS Next and will allow families more time to apply before the random selection process. This change will benefit families and will allow more time for families to prepare for the application process. This change is also consistent with the recommendation from the School Choice Transition Team to “extend the application period for the school choice process."  School choice applications will be due February 1, 2019 at 4:30pm. 

If you have any questions please feel free to email schooloptions@mnps.org.
