Week of March 26

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Nick Bauman, 6th grade social studies teacher, on being recognized as one of the Kiwanis Teachers of the Year.  Mr. Bauman was nominated by 13 LMS students.  In their nominations students stated Mr. Bauman cares about them and their learning, develops interesting and engaging lessons, and that his class is one of the highlights of their school day.  Congratulations Mr. Bauman on your well-deserved award.  Another example of the great things happening at LMS.

Spring conferences are next Tuesday, April 3rd from 3:30-7:30 pm.  Students will be dismissed at 11:30 on the 3rd. Teachers will be preparing for conferences from 11:30-3:30.  LMS conferences will follow an open house format.  Teachers will be available in their rooms to meet with students and families. All families and students are encouraged to come in and check in with teachers on a first come, first serve basis. There is no need to make an appointment.  Please join us at conferences to  discuss your student's hard work and growth and answer any questions you may have.

WYTOPP (Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress) is the new state accountability test.  The testing window runs from April 16th to May 11th.  LMS students will be testing the weeks of April 23rd and April 30th.  Testing will occur in students regularly scheduled classes.  We will have four block days the week of the 23rd.  Other than that, student schedules will not change.  More information and a detailed schedule will be shared as the testing window approaches.
