Change in school calendar
The Lapeer Community Schools Board of Education and the Lapeer Education Association have agreed to a change in the school calendar that moves the end of the second trimester back a week to March 11.
The calendar needed to be revised because of a change in the Michigan Merit Exam testing dates for 2010-2011. Those exams will be given on March 1, 2, and 3.
The new schedule extends the end of the second term for students to Thursday, March 10. This will move high school exams to March 8, 9 and 10. March 11 is a records day for teachers and there is no school for students. March 4 will be a regular school day for students.

Suspicious incident
Lapeer Community Schools Superintendent Debbie Thompson has sent the following letter to parents today because of a suspicious incident in the Davison area.
Dear Parents:
Today we became aware of a suspicious incident that was reported to Davison Community Schools on October 6, 2010.
Davison Schools reported an elderly man described to be in his late 60s or early 70s was seen sitting in his van observing children playing outside yesterday afternoon in the Chestnut Hills Subdivision on Oak Road, between Davison and Lapeer roads. This incident was reported to Davison Township Police by a resident of the subdivision. Davison Schools also have been in contact with local police agencies regarding this matter.
The man and his vehicle, a red Astro van with black pinstripes and ground effects, matches the description of a suspicious incident that was reported September 16, 2010 by Kearsley Community Schools. In that incident, an elderly man in his 70s was sitting in a red mini-van with black pinstripes and approached a student near a bus stop at Potter and Alcott roads, saying, "Get in. I will give you a ride."
We are committed to protecting our students and know that you, as parents, will continue to teach your children how to best protect themselves and seek assistance if necessary. Please reinforce with your children the lessons about interacting with strangers and, of course, immediately notify the police or sheriff’s deputies if you see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
Sincerely,
Debbie Thompson
Superintendent
