LMS Weekly Newsletter

More field trips this past week with our 8th graders out at Bonneville Dam and our 7th graders to Wildwood. You'd think we would have felt rested with 1/3 of our school out of the building, but the 6th graders kept us busy!

Last week we also had our final Site Council Meeting of the school year as well as the final PTA General Meeting. If you are interested in joining our Site Council, please reach out to me and we will set up a time to meet. Special thanks to Eric Opsahl, who is retiring from Site Council this year as his youngest leaves LMS for Cleveland High School. Michelle Jasso and Dominique Adams will continue serving on site council as parents, but we would love to welcome 3-4 more (at least one from each of our feeder schools).

We are definitely looking forward to summer - please see below for information about how to register for Summer SUN, which will be hosted at Whitman Elementary this year since LMS is closed for deep cleaning and some other work.

We are also in the final stretch of our renaming process, and you can make your voice heard by clicking the link here to vote for the name you like the best, as well as the mascot you think will fit us. Students all voted with a different ballot at school using their student accounts, so please only vote if you are a parent/guardian, community member, or alumni (we also sent links to alumni accounts via Synergy). I will present our final idea to the superintendent this Friday! We hope to enter our 100th year with a new name and mascot and a big celebration involving all of our alumni students and their families. Please continue to look for information about this big event through the summer!

The week ahead is short, but packed with fun things for us to do, especially with our final band and choir concert of the year this Thursday at 6 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Let's have a great week!

Warmly,

Rosemarie El Youssef

Hello LMS families,

As a friendly, end-of-year reminder, please pick up your student’s medication from the health room. Medication must be picked up by an adult - we are not able to send any medication home with students.

Medication must be picked up by the last day of school (Friday, June 5). We are not allowed to store medication over the summer - any medication that is not picked up will be disposed of.

Questions? Call Nurse Phoenix at 503-209-1909 or Health Assistant Anali at 503-916-6355.

Thank you and have a wonderful summer break!

At Lane Middle School, our reward system celebrates students who take initiative and live out our core values of being accountable, safe, and kind. When students demonstrate responsibility for their learning and actions, make choices that contribute to a safe and respectful environment, or go out of their way to show kindness to others, they earn “keys” as recognition for their positive impact. These keys serve as both encouragement and a tangible reminder that their actions matter. Students can save and spend their keys at our student store, choosing from a variety of fun and motivating items. This system not only reinforces positive behavior but also builds a school culture where accountability, safety, and kindness are seen, valued, and rewarded every day.

If you would like to help motivate our students and keep the school store stocked, you can find our Amazon Wish List at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VY1AQGAOY394?type=wishlist
