LMHS Updates

Sophomores will take the MCAS in math this Tuesday and Wednesday, May 20 and 21. Students should remember to bring their charged Chromebook to school on those days. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00am. The best way for students to prepare for each testing day is to get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast each morning!

The remainder of the MCAS testing schedule for this year is

• Civics - Grade 8 (part 2): Wednesday, 5/28
• High school Biology: Wednesday & Thursday, 6/4-5

LMHS will once again be offering a limited summer school program for recovery for those students needing it. We will offer in-person classes for English and math for all grades. There will also be online offerings for high school credit recovery in other subject areas. Summer school will run from Monday, June 30 through Friday, July 25. More information (and registration) will be available shortly. Middle school students who do not pass English and/or math for the year will be required to take part in summer school in order to be promoted to the next grade. High school students who do not pass classes are strongly encouraged to take summer school to earn back required credits. Stay tuned for more information!

Did you know that LMHS has a Cradles to Crayons bin in the student parking lot? We partner with C2C, a Massachusetts-based organization, to collect clothing for students in need. You can deposit clothing in the bin at any time. All items stay local (within our state)!

The 8th Grade Bridging Ceremony will be held on Friday, June 13 at 9:30am in the auditorium. Family and friends are welcome to attend as the Class of 2029 bridges to high school!

Please use this link to see summer camp offerings from the Berkshire Museum, through 8th grade! There are lots of great offerings...
