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.

This Week's Table Talk Topic

Every day is the right day to send a message of love.

Teens don't always know how much their families love them. Experts say family adults need to express their love specifically, in words and actions. To make sure your teen gets your "I love you!" message loud and clear, say it often. Then, show it, too: Listen without judging when your teen wants to talk. Set aside time to do something together. Help your teen figure out a solution to a problem. Offer a loving hug.

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.
