LMS Open House
Thank you!!
We had a great turn out for LMS Open House last night. We appreciate families taking the time to partner with the school to ensure their student is successful. We would also like to thank Luke Piers who joined us from the Office of the District Attorney who provided parents with great information through a presentation called Hidden in Plain Sight.
Back To School Forms
Please complete the ‘Back to School” forms if you have not already done so for this year.
A Message from the Health Office
If your student has an EpiPen or inhaler, medication orders are required at the beginning of each school year. Please contact the nurse if you have any questions.
Middle School Science Olympiad Team
Science Olympiad is a competitive science team for all kids who love science and building things! The students in our Science Olympiad club work together to compete in 23 different events in the Massachusetts Science Olympiad State competition on a Saturday in March. No experience necessary - just a willingness to work together as a team to build things and learn about science. Open to all 7th and 8th grade students. Students choose an event to work on throughout the year with a partner. Some examples of events are: build a balsa wood boomilever, build a rubber band powered helicopter, build a car powered by a falling mass, build a Rube Goldberg device, study about astronomy, study about code breaking, study about anatomy, study about entomology, etc.
Come visit our first meeting to find out more: Wednesday, September 24th from 2:30 - 3:30 in room D135.
Here are some photos from last year's meetings and competition. link

Important Messages from the front office
Parents please take time this weekend to sign off that you have read the middle school handbook. Below are some of the policies and procedures that I want to specifically highlight to ensure the school year gets off to a smooth start!
Students who will be late or tardy:
“Parents must call the school by 8:20 a.m. if their child is going to be absent from or late to
school. If a student is absent and the parent does not call the school, the School Messenger
system will contact the parent …This is part of our child safe policy to
ensure the safety of all students.”
-LMS Parent Handbook
Students who will be dismissed early from school
“Dismissals: Dismissal before 2:30 p.m. is discouraged unless there is an emergency.
Appointments, which are not emergencies, should be scheduled outside the regular school
hours. If a dismissal occurs before 11:30a.m., it will be considered an absence unless the
student returns within three hours.
A student must bring a permission note to the office before school on the day of the dismissal.”
-LMS Parent Handbook
All dismissal plans should be finalized prior to the start of the school day. Students should either present a note from their parent/guardian, to the front office on their way into school and they will receive a dismissal pass from the office. Or a parent/guardian can send an email to mbowen@lunenburgschools.net by 7:30 am and the student should stop by the front office on their way into school to pick up a dismissal pass. The student’s first and last name, grade and time of dismissal should be on the note/email along with the parent/guardian’s name. When a student has a dismissal pass they give the pass to the teacher they are with at the time they are being dismissed and they check out with the front office before they leave the building. If this procedure is followed correctly the front office staff will not need to call into the classroom and disrupt learning and instruction. Unless it is an emergency, parents should not be contacting the school in the middle of the school day and/or just showing up at school to dismiss a student early. This is very disruptive to both the office staff and the classrooms.
Items that students forgot to bring to school:
“Dropped Off Items: Please be aware that when parents drop off an item to the office, the
student must be responsible to pick up the item at the office. The office staff cannot call
students out of class to pick up anything in the office nor will parents be allowed to bring
items to the rooms while classes are in session.”
