All seventh graders are taking the semester long class called Computer Logic.  During the course, they begin planning their high school courses through ePEP.  
All eighth graders have been attending the computer lab to also set up their ePEP and learn how to plan on this state mandated tool.  If you have any questions about this process at school, please contact Liza White at 547-8418.
Please visit the FACTS.org site and peruse the useful information. 

"Frequently asked questions:
Why does FACTS.org require my child's social security number?
School districts in the state of Florida report transcript data to the Department of Education using the Social Security Number or, for those who do not have a SSN, the 10 digit Florida Student Identifier number.  (These students must obtain and enter a Social Security Number to apply to postsecondary institutions and for financial aid, including Bright Futures)  
By requiring the SSN, the only personal identifying number that is never duplicated, FACTS.org is able to ensure that transcript information is released only to the correct individual.  Once a student has created an account they will not have to enter this information again and when it appears in the settings the first five digits of the SSN will appear as asterisks only.
FACTS.org is committed to the protection of students.  The site has many levels of security,.  Additional information on these features may be found by going to the FACTS.org home page, and clicking on "privacy policy" at the bottom of the page."

Congratulations, cheerleaders!  On Saturday, January 24, our cheerleaders showed that hard work and school spirit pays off. Teachers and coaches, Carrie St. Clair and Jessica Balla, led the Landrum Spirit Squad to a first place victory at the FACA State Championship Competition in Daytona Beach.  The Landrum cheerleaders received the highest score in the Super Junior High division with zero deductions, and lots of praise.   We couldn't be more proud of the girls and their amazing ability to work together as a team.  Go Lions!
