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.

At Lanier Middle School, mornings are an excellent opportunity for students to receive extra support in their core subjects. With that in mind, for the 2024-2025 school year we will target each core content area on a specific day of the week. If your student needs additional support or needs assistance in a Connection class, they can see their content teacher to arrange an additional day that works with the teachers morning schedule. In order for students to attend morning tutoring, they need to arrive at 8:05 AM.

Beginning with the 2024-2025 )school year (Effective July 1) GCPS will be implementing fines for damaged and lost Chromebooks and power cords. Please discuss the importance of taking care of the equipment that has been issued to your student.
