Week of February 19

Students can now pre-order the award winning Laramie Middle School yearbook.  A limited number of yearbooks are available, so students and families should order now to guarantee that they receive a copy of this year's edition.  Yearbooks are $40.00.  Students can bring cash or a check to order their yearbook during lunch.  Yearbooks can also be ordered online as well.  If you need more information about obtaining a yearbook, please contact Mr. Reitzel. 

It has been a challenging flu season up to this point, with many students falling victim to this year's strain.  If your student has missed school due to illness or has fallen behind this semester, don't wait until six week progress reports arrive in the mail the week of March 5th.  Talk to your student, check their grades in Powerschool, contact their teachers.  This can be the time of year where the school year starts to drag and student engagement slips.  Please don't let your student dig an academic hole they can't get out of.  We are here to help.  Teachers are available for Scout Learning Lab after school.  We offer an extended session of Scout Learning Lab on most Saturday mornings as well. Let's work together to maintain the momentum we've built so far this year and help all students finish the school year on a high note.

We are at a transition point for activities at LMS.  Boys basketball and nordic skiing are wrapping up.  Swimming starts this Thursday, the 22nd.  Swimming is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.  You must have a completed sports physical and code of conduct on file to participate.  Contact Mrs.  Anfinson if you need additional information about swimming. Track is our final activity of the school year. Track begins on April 5th and is open to 7th and 8th grade students.  I encourage students to participate in at least one activity during the school year.  Middle school is a great time to explore new interests and activities.  If your student has not participated in an athletic activity, an academic club, or the fine arts, this year please encourage them to explore swimming, track, or something else that they are interested in.

The lost and found is bursting at the seems.  Please encourage your students to seek out their missing clothing items in the cafeteria.  What is not claimed by the end of the week will be removed.
