Wildcats Always LEAD the Way!

Welcome to the J.C. Lynch Elementary Wildcats' Webpage! We are so excited you have stopped by. Take a look at all of the exciting things taking place in our school this year!

Dear JLC Wildcat families,

As you know, we are facing an unprecedented public health crisis in our state. 

Yesterday, Governor McMaster ordered all K-12 schools statewide to close from March 16th through March 31st.  The earliest day school might resume is April 1st.

Buildings will be open on Tuesday, March 17^th, 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., for families to pick up their academic student packets and medications they might need from the health room. If you are not able to pick up your child’s packet of materials, you are to contact the school by phone or email. These packets will be required to be turned in to your child’s teacher when school resumes, and the assignments will be used for supplemental grades.

We will be providing breakfast and lunch to school-aged children beginning tomorrow, March 17th. A lunch and breakfast delivery will be made between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. each day at student bus stops. Alternatively, meals may be picked up from Lake City High School daily between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. 

We will maintain a continuous flow of information, even during our closure. Please follow our websites, social media, and ensure that we have your correct contact information in PowerSchool

How can I protect my child from COVID-19 infection?

The Centers for Disease Control recommends:

            You can encourage your child to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by teaching them to do the same things             everyone should do to stay healthy.

·                  Clean hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

·                  Avoid people who are sick (coughing and sneezing)

·                  Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in household common areas (e.g. tables, hard-backed chairs,   doorknobs, light switches, remotes, handles, desks, toilets, sinks)

·                  Launder items including washable plush toys as appropriate in accordance with the manufacturer’s             instructions. If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items and dry             items completely. Dirty laundry from an ill person can be washed with other people’s items.

      If you have other COVID-19, questions please visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

We recognize that this disruption in our normal school year has an impact on our students, our families and our staff.

Please continue to visit our social media sites for the most current information from our district. We want to express our appreciation for the patience of our Florence School District 3 community as we work through the daily challenges COVID-19 has presented to all of us.

We will miss having you and your children in our schools, and we look forward to your return!

                Sincerely,

                Angela A. Tanner

This year, we are embarking on a journey of self-discovery. Our staff has participated in several days of Leader in Me training, and they have worked to develop the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People within themselves. Throughout the school year, we will be teaching the students how to apply these seven habits into their own lives. Stephen Covey's work with these Seven Habits prove that those of us who regulate ourselves become much more successful people.  

                                     Montessori Beginnings

The 2019-2020 school year begins our Montessori journey. We have five primary classrooms composed of 3, 4, and 5 year olds. Our classrooms are ready, and our teachers have prepared all summer. Next year, our 5 year old students will transfer into first grade Montessori classrooms. Keep checking in to see the learning they are doing!
