Reminder: Food Deliveries Reminder: Food Deliveries

From the Lanier Middle School Student Handbook

Student Deliveries and Visitors

Fast food, specialty drinks and celebratory foods/items are not appropriate items for delivery as these create disruptions to instruction and the orderly operation of the school. Deliveries from food delivery services (i.e., UberEats, Door dash, and Grubhub) will be denied as the management of accepting such delivers on scale is not reasonable.


Thank you for your support in this matter.

Common teen excuses are not reasons to skip school.

Some teens are full of excuses about why they should be allowed to miss school. Many excuses are indications that your teen needs to make some changes. If your teen claims to need more sleep or more time to work on a project, suggest going to bed earlier or getting more organized. Constantly trying to stay home, however, may be a sign of a larger issue you might want to discuss with your teen's counselor.

Tutoring Schedule Tutoring Schedule

At Lanier Middle School, mornings are an excellent opportunity for students to receive extra support in their core subjects. With that in mind, for the 2024-2025 school year we will target each core content area on a specific day of the week. If your student needs additional support or needs assistance in a Connection class, they can see their content teacher to arrange an additional day that works with the teachers morning schedule. In order for students to attend morning tutoring, they need to arrive at 8:05 AM.
