The first day is finally here! Many students and families were in our building for 6th grade orientation and the no-host open house last week, and the energy was amazing. We can’t wait to have everyone back on Monday to get started on a fantastic year. Students will be with their Scouts for Scouts (S4S) classes all day on Monday building community and practicing middle school expectations and procedures.
The first day of school is an early release day for all students in the district so we will follow our early release schedule. Our day begins promptly at 8:00 and students will be dismissed at 11:30. Students can enter the building at 7:30 and must be off campus by 11:45. At Laramie Middle School we follow a modified block schedule where we have ‘All’, ‘Odd’ and ‘Even’ days. Our schedule for this week is Early Release, All, All, All, All. We do not have an early release on Friday like the elementary schools. Our odd-even calendar is located on our website.
Please remember that at LMS we follow “Away for the Day” as it relates to student’s personal electronic devices. Phones, smart watches, earbuds, and other personal devices must be powered off and stored in lockers during the day. Electronic devices are not allowed from the time students enter the building until the dismissal bell rings. This allows our students to focus on their learning, improves mental health, and helps promote a culture of respect and belonging.
Back to school night is on Wednesday. If you would like to meet your student’s bus driver, or get help with online registration, please come to the middle school between 4:30 and 5:15. If your student doesn’t ride the bus, or you don’t need help with online registration, please be in your student’s S4S class at 5:30. From 5:30-7:15 families will have the opportunity to meet their student’s teachers, walk their schedule, and learn about Laramie Middle School. Due to space limitations, we ask that students and siblings not accompany their families to back to school night. Your student will be bringing home a copy of this form on Tuesday to fill out so you know which classes to go to. We hope to see all of our caregivers at back to school night.
Students with completed online registration will receive their Chromebooks during first period on Thursday. If you need assistance completing online registration for your student, please contact our registrar, Jerri Rauer, at 721-4430 or come to the main office during normal school hours or between 4:30-5:15 on Wednesday. Students without an updated online registration will not receive their Chromebooks and cannot travel for field trips or activities until it is completed.
There are so many opportunities, possibilities, and challenges on the horizon as we eagerly await the first day of school. The days can be long, but the year will go quickly. We can’t wait to work alongside you as we help our students grow. Thank you for sharing them with us. It’s going to be a great week!
