Dear Parent/Designated Adult:
Enclosed please find your student’s grades for the Fall term of the 2022-2023 school year. As we emphasize with the students, effort is the most important determinant of success in school and in life. Please call your student’s advisor if you wish to discuss the grades. Another key ingredient to student achievement is attendance, and we have found that our students who have strong, consistent attendance succeed in our school. Please continue to encourage your student to attend school regularly and on time.
An important milestone in the lives of our students is their high school graduation. Join me in congratulating the following nine students who have completed all of their LMACS credit requirements. We urge them all to join us in June for a walk across the stage and a grand finale to cap off their high school experience.

Once again, we have had a solid season of newly enrolled students at LMACS. As we interview potential new students, so many report that they have heard about our school from people that they know. So, a sincere thank you to all of you who continue to support and promote our school; we hear about it and we appreciate it.
We will continue to enroll new students throughout the year, especially around the time a new term begins for students here at LMACS. We have three distinct enrollment periods for students: August, November and March; however we are always actively recruiting and interviewing potential students and may ask them to start in the next term depending on how close it is to when a term begins – so please continue to send them our way.
Parent involvement is an important part of our school community. Please let me know if you would like to be part of our Parent Advisory Council. We will meet three times a year, and we will vary meeting times in order to accommodate Parent/Designated Adult work schedules.
As the cold weather approaches, we would like to notify parents and students of LMACS school cancellation policy. In the event that weather conditions should cause LMACS to cancel classes for the day, we will update the LMACS website, which is: LMACS.org. Additionally, a cancellation announcement would be made on TV WCVB Channel 5. If you do not specifically hear or see Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School is closed, there will be a regular school day. A closing or delay of Lowell Public Schools does not close or delay LMACS. Students and parents may also sign up for text or email delivery of the school closings on the Channel 5 website: http://www.thebostonchannel.com/closingssignup/index.html
We look forward to a productive semester and wish everyone a Happy Holiday.
Sincerely,
Sean J. McCarthy Ed. D
Executive Director
