Principal's Message
PRMS Family,
We are approaching the last few weeks of the school year. I want to express my sincere gratitude to our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
Amid the difficult days since April 17, the outpouring of support and generosity from our Lexington Two family and the greater community has been amazing. We will continue to support our students and employees in the days ahead. Please reach out if there are any unmet needs.
We are looking forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our students with our upcoming Awards Days. Please note the dates for these and the change in testing days.
Thank you again for your continued support and collaboration throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of the progress we've made together and excited to see what the future holds for our students.
Sincerely,
Karen Holloman, Ed D.

At Pine Ridge Middle School, we are so fortunate to have a team of teachers who lead with heart, passion, and dedication. During Teacher Appreciation Week, we celebrate the extraordinary impact they have on our students every day. Whether it’s through a kind word, a creative lesson, or unwavering support, our teachers make a difference that lasts a lifetime. Thank you for everything you do—you are the heart of our school!
Lex2 Fine Arts Summer Camp
We’re excited to offer students the chance to participate in the Lex2 Fine Arts Summer Camp, held at the new Lexington Two Performing Arts Center from June 9–19, Monday–Thursday from 9:00 AM–2:00 PM. Space is limited and students will be selected based on teacher recommendations and the order in which forms are received.
The cost is $150, to be paid through Parent Portal once registration is submitted. Transportation is not provided, so parents/guardians must arrange drop-off and pick-up each day. Lunch and a snack will be provided. All participants must commit to attending every day.
Please submit the required enrollment information no later than May 15, 2024.
Counselor's Corner
Parents,
Please know there will be continued support at school for our students and families. I am resharing the parent resources previously sent through BrightArrow automated emails. We hope this is helpful to you in supporting your child. We will continue to provide counseling support in the coming weeks. Please contact me if I can be of assistance in any way. I can ensure your child meets with a counselor here and/or provide resources for additional counseling outside of school.
