The Weekly Update

As a reminder, school resumes on Monday, April 6, 2026. It will be a White B Day.

The final trimester begins on Monday, March 23, 2026. We encourage students to continue to work hard and put forth their best efforts so that they end the school year on a positive note. It is helpful for students to set a goal for themselves. Goals are specific and measurable.

Remember, all tardies and absences DO count. Students who reach the maximum number of tardies and absences for the school year may be in risk of repeating their current grade or attending a summer program.

Grades for Trimester 2 will be available to view in the Parent Portal of Genesis before the Spring Break. We will send an email once the report cards are posted. For questions or concerns about a class, please first reach out to your student's teachers.

The following students have been selected by their teachers as a Student of the Month for March:

Giulianna Cifelli

Eliza Cosinero

Rudra Desai

Leslie Gonzalez

Kimaya Kamik

Jenna Kasony

Skyler Kimball

Isaac Lamontagne

Zachary Macciocca

Giselle Mendoza Perez

These students are selected because they demonstrate the Cardinal Code of Respect, Responsibility and Readiness, each and every day of school. The students show an effort to be the best version of themselves and therefore serve as role models for their peers. The staff at LMS is so proud of each of these students and looks forward to seeing how they move through the remainder of the school year.

Congratulations and thank you for being an outstanding member of the Nation!

To sign up for parent conferences sign into Genesis' parent portal, click the conference tab and then select the teachers you would like to see. Conferences will be 10 minutes and will be held in the gym or the cafeteria.

These conferences are designed for parents/guardians of students who are currently struggling in class or for those who have specific concerns about their child's progress and advancement. If your child is passing and performing well in class, there is no need to schedule a conference at this time. As a reminder, school counselors and case managers can always be contacted to discuss questions or concerns.

If you have any questions about parent conferences, please reach out to your child's House Leader.

Tracy Bozarth - House of Phoenix, Kate Reynolds - House of Draco,

Shannon Stromenger - House of Orion.

Plans are underway for 8th Grade Interview Days. We look forward to another successful year.

We invite members of our community to participate in our 8th Grade Interview Day. Volunteers help our students practice their communication skills by participating in a mini-interview style conversation. Volunteers from all types of jobs and experiences are needed.

Each volunteer will be asked to interview approximately 10 students for a 10 minute interview. You will be given 3 questions to ask students, and you will then be asked to provide feedback for the students using a scale report to highlight the student's strengths. Interviews take place with one of our teaching staff present.

The first 3 days will be preliminary rounds and then the top 10 students from each instructional house will compete in a final round on Friday, April 24.

The feedback and comments you can offer the LMS students are invaluable. If you are interested in participating please use the link below to sign up.

On Wednesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 26, a number of 8th graders will be participating in the STAMP assessment in the LMS Library. The families of these students have received a letter from Mr. Neel Desai, Asst. Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, with detailed information.

The assessment enables students to demonstrate their world language proficiency.

Some reminders:

* Students should report to homeroom first for attendance and then proceed to library.

* The assessment will take approximately 2-2.5 hours. Students will report back to their regularly scheduled class once finished.

* On the assigned testing day, please remind your student to bring a fully charged Chromebook, headphones with a microphone (we have extras) and a water bottle.

It is expected that the morning will run smoothly. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Desai's office, 609-671-5407.
