Dear Lawrence Families, Thursday and Friday MS and HS students are asked to follow the posted schedule to pick up locker belongings from the back of our buildings. We thank our facilities department and remind you that social distancing will be enforced at this time. No one will come in the building. Drive or walk up and tell your name and locker number to our staff. Bagged belongings will be passed across a six foot table. Cleaned lockers will allow Lawrence a chance to fully sanitize the buildings. Thank you

Here for one another.

Lessons will be delivered by AP teachers from across the country and can be used alongside work teachers are giving their students. Teachers are welcome to join! The first weeks will focus on the end of the course, key topics that colleges expect students to learn but won’t be on exams. Teachers will also provide exam prep each day. As exams approach, teachers will focus primarily on review of concepts/skills that could appear on exams. Some lessons being taught this week: #APUSH: 8.3 The Red Scare #APBio: 7.2 Natural Selection #APPsych: 8.1 Introduction to Psychological Disorders See more topics being covered this week and the full course schedule here: http://spr.ly/61821Q5i0.

There’s a calmness to his engaging message and he gently addresses some of the emotional feelings children and adults have at this time. Grab a paper and drawing instrument and doodle with Mo.
