Join us in celebrating (from left to right) our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Sonya Lee, District Finalist for Assistant Principal of the Year, Dr. Devone McKie, and Giving Even More (GEM) of the Year, Mrs. Ann Hastings. We are so lucky to have each of these great educators supporting our students and staff at LMMS!

Parents- Please do not drive through the staff lot in the morning and also please do not drop off students in the parking lot. Staff members are driving into work in the morning and need to park in the lot to get in the building in time to greet students. Of the utmost importance is school safety- Students walking between moving cars in the lot poses a danger to students.

Also, please remember that students should not be dropped off and left unattended prior to 7:30am as we do not have staff supervision prior to this time.

This week, students will be taking the next round of iReady diagnostic testing to see how they are progressing so far this school year.

Our goal is for EVERY student to grow!

Please encourage students to be prepared by getting plenty of rest, having breakfast, and coming to school with their laptops fully charged. Students will start ELA testing on Tuesday and math testing on Thursday.

Help us teach your children/our students about the importance of internet safety. We have had a recent increase in students viewing inappropriate material or emailing peers about inappropriate topics on their school laptops both at school and in their homes before or after school hours. While the district does have filters on the searches, no filter can catch everything. Middle schoolers are very clever and figure out ways around the safety features. We highly encourage you to speak to your children about internet safety and further encourage you to monitor your child's computer use while at home.

Please plan to meet with Ms. McCall in the media center this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the 2nd half of 2nd block (AFTER your iReady testing) to practice for the Veteran's Day program.

Update: ID Badges for students who need a new badge will only be printed once per week. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
