Vol. 8 Issue 21 | December 19 - January 7
The PTSA and the staff of Lanier Middle School are excited to present the Spring Dance this Friday night beginning at 7 PM. Students will receive their wristbands at school tomorrow morning during 1st period. The wristband is their ticket to the dance. If they lose the wristband, they will not be able to get into the dance so please encourage them to put the wristband somewhere safe. Students should be wearing the wristband when they arrive at the dance on Friday night. Chaperones will be looking for wristbands to admit students into the school.
Important Notes:
- 6th Grade parents with students attending the dance will need to use the Lanier car-rider lane (off Buford Dam Road) for drop off to the dance. Students will then walk around and enter the dance through the cafeteria doors. Parents will need to pick their 6th grader up from the dance promptly at 9 PM in the same car-rider lane from Buford Dam Road.
- 7th and 8th grade parents with students attending the dance will drop off and pick up their students in the bus lanes.
- Dance pick up is promptly at 9 PM in the lane where you dropped your student off.

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.
The Lanier Middle Boys team were victorious in their first-round playoff last Saturday against Creekland MS! Now, they're just one win away from advancing to the County Championship as they face off against Berkmar MS.
Good luck, Longhorns! 🏀🎉

Each week we will post a question for students to discuss with their adults over the weekend. Questions can be funny, serious, or thought provoking, but each week provides a new occasion for a family discussion. Students will have opportunities to write about some of these topics as well as earn extra credit in language arts for their participation.
Start new habits by taking the screen-free challenge.
