Week of October 9th

It's a chilly start to another great week at Laramie Middle School.  As winter weather becomes more of a constant companion, please allow for more travel time in the mornings so you can arrive to school safely and encourage your students to dress appropriately for the weather. 

Conferences are coming up on October 25th and 26th.  We cordially invite all LMS families and students to attend.  Conferences run from 3:30-7:30 on the 25th and 8:00-7:00 on the 26th.  There is no school on Thursday the 26th or Friday the 27th.  Please go to this link to schedule appointments with your student's teachers.  Ideally you would visit with all of your student's teachers.  Counseling and administrative staff will be available as well.  If you are unable to connect with your student's teachers during conferences, please put your name and contact information on the sheet outside their classrooms and they will get in touch with you to schedule another time to get together.

Congratulations to the 8th graders on winning the September tardy contest.  Each month the grade with the lowest percentage of students with a one or more tardies receives a prize.  The 8th grade was victorious with 16% followed by 6th grade with 22.6% and 7th grade with 23%.  Students are working hard to win the October contest.  Thank you for having your student in school every day and encouraging them to be on time. 

Halloween is approaching and based on what is out in the stores, it must be tomorrow.  If students would like to wear a costume on the 31^st they are welcome to do so with a few conditions.  All costumes must be school appropriate and not interfere with learning.  Excessive gore, faux weapons, and costumes that violate the dress code are not allowed.  We need to be able to identify students, so masks and excessive face paint are also prohibited. Finally, students need to be able to participate in their regular learning activities, so any costumes that inhibit movement, obstruct views, and impact learning in any way, should be saved for Tuesday night.
