LMS September Newsletter
September 2026
From the Principal
It has been great to welcome our students back to Legg Middle School and see the building come to life again. The first few weeks of a school year are always busy as students learn new schedules, reconnect with friends and teachers, and settle into the routines of school. I have appreciated the positive start our students and staff have worked together to create. Our WEB leaders were on hand during the opening week to help sixth graders navigate lockers and find their classes, and throughout the building our staff have been working to help students feel comfortable and successful as they get settled.
We are also beginning to see many of the opportunities that make middle school more than just the time students spend in class. Student Council is getting underway, Builders Club is welcoming new members, and students can explore interests through Youth in Government, Science Olympiad, and our Iron Talons competitive robotics team. Our fall athletic season is underway as well, including a recent win for our 8th grade A volleyball team. Just as importantly, we have begun recognizing Students of the Week for the positive contributions they are making at LMS.
As we move beyond the opening weeks, our focus shifts from simply getting started to building strong habits that will carry us through the year. Attendance is an important part of that work. Our Quarter 1 challenge is to reach 90% attendance, and we will continue reminding students that being here, on time and ready to learn, makes a difference.
Thank you to our families for everything you have done to help us get the year off to a good start. We value your partnership and look forward to all that is ahead for our Cardinals this year. All in, all together, all the time!
