LMHS Updates

Eighth grade students will take the MCAS in Science this Wednesday and Thursday, May 7 and 8. Students should remember to bring their charged Chromebook to school on those days. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00am. The best way for students to prepare for each testing day is to get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast each morning!

The remainder of the MCAS testing schedule for this year is:

• Math - Grades 7 & 8: Wednesday & Thursday, 5/14-15
• Math - Grade 10: Tuesday & Wednesday, 5/20-21
• Civics - Grade 8 (part 2): Wednesday, 5/28
• High school Biology: Wednesday & Thursday, 6/4-5

Various Advanced Placement tests for students in grades 10-12 will take place this week and next week, through May 13th. Good luck to our AP students on these exams!

Please join us for the spring concert this Wednesday, May 7 at 7:00pm in the auditorium! Aside from Memorial Day parades, this will be the final public performances by our bands and choruses. Admission is free! Come enjoy an evening of music!

A reminder that our schoolwide rule regarding cell phones and air buds (and other related electronic devices) is that they are not to be seen or heard from 7:58am (first bell) to 2:30pm (last bell). We've been seeing an uptick lately, and so will be paying close attention to this important rule. The first offense for the year results in confiscation (returned at the end of the day); second and subsequent violations also result in confiscation, but a parent/guardian must retrieve the device from the office. The policy does not include any warnings beyond notification of the rules. Thanks for helping encourage your students to follow these simple rules, which greatly help the learning environment for everyone.

Please join us this Saturday, May 10 at 11:00am at the Maple Street baseball field as we dedicate the field to longtime coach and teacher, Richard Lenfest!

The dedication will be followed by a 12:00pm varsity game vs. Drury.
