Week of February 5th

As we move into mile twenty of the 2017-18 school year marathon, many things are happening.  We are getting into the meat of the second semester.  Students are settled into their new schedules and we are continuing to push to make sure that all students have the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to be successful on the next step in their educational journey.  It is crucial that students do not  dig a large academic hole at the beginning of the semester.  Please encourage your student to take advantage of the various levels of Scout Learning Lab to get the necessary time and support to complete their work.

Students have also begun to think about their schedules for the coming school year.  That is one of the things that makes this time off the year unique.  Not only are we focused on doing our absolutely best in the second semester, but we are looking down the road to next school year.  Students have received their registration cards for the upcoming school year.  Please review the curriculum guide on the LMS website with your student.  Students need to return their completed registration cards to their 8th hour teacher on Friday. We will do our absolute best to honor all student schedule requests.  If you have any questions regarding scheduling for the 2018-19 school year, please contact Mrs. Hodny for incoming 6th graders and 8th graders with last names beginning with A-L and Mrs. Hogsett for upcoming 7th graders and 8th graders with last names beginning with M-Z.

This Friday we are hosting Red, White, and Blue Day at LMS. All students and staff are encouraged to wear Red, White, and Blue to celebrate the start of the Winter Olympics and to show support for our Olympic athletes.  Go Team USA!

Please keep an eye on your inboxes for the first edition of the Scout Shout or you can read it here.  The Scout Shout is our new student newspaper and will be replacing the my newsletters.  Mrs. Walker and a team of dedicated students have been working after school to produce the Scout Shout.  They plan to publish monthly.  Enjoy the fruits of their labor and stay up to speed on all of the great things happening at LMS.
