Week of March 5

We are already at the six week point in the second semester.  We will be sending out progress reports to families this week.  Please review your student's progress report with them and identify areas for celebration and discuss any areas for growth.  There is still a lot of time left in the school year to demonstrate academic competency.  We are here to work with you and your student to support their learning.  If you have any questions, or concerns, regarding your student's progress report, please don't hesitate to contact the school.  

It is Spirit Week at Laramie Middle School.  Each day has a dress up theme.  The grades (6,7,8) are also engaged in a friendly competition with penny wars.  Each grade will have a jar in the cafeteria.  Pennies count toward a grade's total and any other denominations count against.  All funds raised will be used to support service members overseas.  As a part of Spirit Week, all LMS students and families are cordially invited to our second family night on Wednesday, March 7th.  The student leadership team is hosting the Bermuda Triangle Escape Room from 7:00-8:15.  There is no cost to attend.  Please join us for fun, popcorn, and community building.  

Occasionally students need to be checked out of school for appointments such as the dentist or orthodontist.  While it is preferable that these are taken care of outside of school hours, we recognize that is not always possible.  It is helpful if you call ahead before coming to pick your student up whenever possible.  If a student is in PE or at lunch when you come to get them, it may take us a few minutes to get them down to the attendance office and released to you.  Often families are on a tight timeline when checking students out and trying to make an appointment.  Calling ahead helps us have your student ready to go so that you are not late.

There will not be any Scout Learning Lab after school on Friday, March 9th or Saturday, March 10th due to spring break.  Scout Learning Lab will resume it's normal schedule on Monday, March 19th.  As a reminder, teaching staff are available to work with students from 3:00-3:30 Monday-Friday and there is a late bus at 4:00 for students who need it.  Saturday Scout Learning Lab takes place on most Saturdays from 8:00-11:00 for students who need a larger chunk of time to demonstrate their learning.
