We will continue the LMS tradition of providing  rigorous, and stimulating academic pro­ grams along with a wide variety of extracurricular activities. I urge both parents and students to become active partici­ pants in school life here at the middle school. Included in this mailing you will find very important information that will help your child be prepared for the first days of school.

Seventh Grade Transition

The LMS leadership team and I have created a special transition program for all incoming seventh grade students that will occur on the first day of school. All students will receive building tours, instruction on opening lockers, extended time for transitioning between classes, maps with rooms numbers and teacher names, extended time for lunch, instruction on how to read a schedule, and early release at dismissal. We have worked diligently to create a comprehensive program where all students will experience success the first day of school!

Student Agenda will be Chromebook

Each student is provided with a Chromebook at the start of the school year.  Students are required to have this for every class.  Student may not take the Chromebook  home for any reason . Students who intentionally  damage their assigned Chromebook  will  be financially  responsible for its repair/replacement.  Students will use Google calendar to record all class assignments, music lessons, and other school related activities.

Annual Student Verification Form

The annual student information verification form was mailed to your home.  Please review the form, make changes where necessary, and have your child return this form to their homeroom teacher within the first two weeks of school.
