We are feeling the love at Laramie Middle School this week. Please remember that we have an early release on Friday. All students will be dismissed at 11:30. Unless your student is participating in skiing or basketball, they need to be off campus by 11:45. Staff have a half day on Friday as well, so our school will be closing soon after students leave. Our school will be closed on Monday the 17th and there is no school for students on Tuesday the 18th due to professional development.
Many of you will share Valentines with your students on Friday. We kindly ask that these not be delivered or dropped off at the school. We will hold all deliveries until the end of the day and we can’t guarantee that students will get them or be able to take them on the bus. Please send any deliveries to students’ homes so they can be enjoyed over the long weekend.
Scheduling for the 2025-2026 school year gets underway this week. Current 6th and 7th grade students will receive scheduling information in S4S on Wednesday and have the opportunity to submit their course requests for next year during S4S on February 12th. Elective course options for 7th grade can be found here and elective course options for 8th grade can be found here. More course information can be found in the 2025-2026 LMS curriculum guide. Current 8th grade students met with LHS staff during I/E last Wednesday. There was an informational meeting for rising freshmen and their parents at LHS on Monday night. Rising freshmen should turn their course request form into the LMS main office by the end of the day on Friday.
Part of the MakerSpace in our library is a tower garden. Recently seventh grade students were in the library utilizing the garden. They not only learned about photosynthesis, but were also able to witness how plants can use various inputs to create reactions and grow without soil using aeroponic technology. Students observed photosynthesis in action by using a piece of technology to watch CO2 levels decrease when leaves from a plant were placed in an airtight bag. This hands-on experience turned abstract science concepts into something tangible and exciting, showing students the power of innovation in agriculture while giving them a front-row seat to the wonders of plant biology.
We’re halfway through the week and it’s been quite productive. I hope you are looking forward to the long weekend and are staying warm. Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Make it a great week!
