On Friday, September 26, Learwood will host a Student Council–sponsored lunchtime tailgate! For $2, students can “buy out” of lunch to eat outside, enjoy tailgate snacks, listen to music, and play games. That day’s school lunch will be tailgate-themed. Students can grab it through the cafeteria like usual, or they’re welcome to pack their own lunch instead

We’re looking for parent support with set-up, clean-up, supervision, snacks, and tailgate/yard games (cornhole, ladder golf, etc.). All proceeds benefit our Souper Bowl fundraiser against Avon to fight hunger.

All school fees follow your student from grade to grade, and all attempts must be made to pay the balance during the current school year. School fees are due by October 1st, and failure to be up to date on school fees will restrict students from participating in extracurricular activities and trips, such as the Washington DC Trip, athletics, clubs, etc. Thank you to those who have sent in payments for your child's school fees.

We are thrilled to announce Learwood Middle School’s 13th Annual School-Wide Fundraiser! The fundraiser will kick off on Monday, September 8th and run through Tuesday, September 23rd.

This is our only whole-school fundraiser of the year, and every dollar raised goes right back to our students—helping to fund prizes, awards, assemblies, picnics, class trips, and more. These experiences not only celebrate student success but also create lasting memories that make the middle school years so special.

Your support makes all the difference! Whether by participating, sharing with family and friends, or encouraging your student, your involvement helps us reach our goal and maximize opportunities for every learner.

We’ll be sharing more details after our fundraising assembly—stay tuned! Together, let’s make this year’s fundraiser our best one yet!

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students,

It’s hard to believe that we will be hosting our first Varsity football game on Friday, September 5th, against Highland High School at 7:00 PM. We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of our student seating policies at Friday night home football games.

In order to enhance safety and spectator enjoyment, the following procedures have been implemented for all home football games:

1. All elementary students (K-4) must be accompanied by a parent/adult in order to enter the stadium.
2. All elementary students (K-4) will sit with their parents/adult in the home bleachers.
3. Students (K-4) must remain in the bleachers during the game unless visiting the concession stand/restroom with their parent/adult.
4. Students in grades 5-8 will sit in the bleachers (The Pier) in the west end zone. Students must remain in the bleachers during the game. The 5-8 student section will be dismissed to the concession areas by bleacher section near the end of the second quarter. Learwood will exit near the away team concession stands, Troy students will exit towards the home concession stands. Students will be permitted to reenter The Pier anytime during halftime, as long as they are not interfering with band traffic.
5. Supervision staff will be stationed near the concession stands and in the paved area in front of the concessions to monitor student behavior.
6. Students are not permitted to leave their seats outside of the times mentioned above.
7. Students in grades 9-12 will sit in the normal student section on the northeast side of the stadium.
8. Please be reminded that backpacks, outside food/drinks, footballs, soccer balls, etc.…, are not allowed to be brought into the stadium. Also, noise makers are prohibited at games.

Students who fail to comply with these requests will be asked to return to their parent(s) and asked to remain under their parents’ supervision. If a parent is not in attendance, that parent will be contacted and asked to take the student home. Any violations of the rules and regulations as set forth by the district administration could result in being escorted from the stadium and possible forfeiture to attend future stadium events.

Student attendance at sporting events is an important element to promoting school spirit. It is our hope that students sitting in the bleachers will cheer and support the cheerleaders, band, and athletes on Friday nights. We appreciate your understanding and assistance as these actions are intended to ensure the safety and the enjoyment of the evening for all spectators.

Learwood is excited to participate in the Marco’s Pizza fundraiser—an effort many of our students and families will remember from their elementary school days. On the designated dates listed below, we encourage families to consider ordering from Marco’s Pizza as a simple way to support our school. Winning schools will receive a donation from Marco's Pizza. Even better, the social studies class with the most participation each month will win a Marco’s Pizza party! The fundraiser nights for Learwood are: September 11, October 16, November 13, December 11, January 15, February 12, March 12, and April 16. Additional details, including how to link your order to Learwood and your child’s class, will be shared September 10th.

Thank you for your continued support!

Take time to connect with your child through conversation! As students move into their important middle school years, communication is key. Join us on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at 7:15 AM in Room 132 for a morning presentation, conversation, coffee, and donuts. We look forward to seeing you there! Learn about your child and have them learn about YOU! We cover a variety of topics each month, from concepts such as Dedication to the use of AI with Integrity.
