Each month in the Lebanon Junior High Tribune, students from each team are recognized as students of the month. Two students (one 7th grader and one 8th grader) who have shown Respect, Excellence, and Purpose and gone above and beyond will be recognized as Cedars of the Month. Their pictures and bios will be proudly hung for the following month in the display cases at school. We look forward to honoring our students and their excellence!

Congratulations to our Super Cedars for the month of November!!

7th Grade - Giovanni Carney

8th Grade - Zaliyah Davis

We hope to see many of you come support our talented musicians, Tuesday, December 9th @ 7 PM!! Please note the concert will be held in the LEBANON HIGH SCHOOL auditorium (just across the parking lot from the Junior High)!

Beginning during Parent Teacher conferences last month, we started sharing the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA) form with parents. This acknowledgment form must be read and signed by a parent/guardian for each student. If you were not at parent teacher conferences, please be on the lookout for this form to be sent home with your child. It must be signed and returned as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please reach out to the main office.

We are already at the halfway point of the 2nd Marking Period as of December 1st! Please review your child's grades with them to see how they are doing in each of their classes. There will not be Summer School this year, so it is important they are keeping up with their grades throughout the school year. Each student has their own personal goal sheet they update each week - we encourage you to ask your child about theirs and review it with them. As we have another holiday break before the new year, it is important to remember the final day of Marking Period 2 will be January 16th, 2026.

As we enter the winter months, please continue working to make sure your child attends school everyday. Attendance is directly related to successful learning, so we want to see your kids everyday! In the event they are sick, upon their return, a note must be sent in and brought to the office no more than three days after they come back to school or e-mailed into the school office.

Don't forget that our winter sports seasons are beginning this month! Included sports are boys and girls basketball, boys and girls wrestling. Additionally, our cheerleading squad cheers for the teams! Below is the link to access all district sports schedules.
