End Of Semester Reminders
Between December 4th and December 15th, all SLMS students will complete their winter NWEA testing. These will be the second of three academic benchmark tests taken by our students.
NWEA test results provide valuable information to students and their families as well as teachers about student learning levels. Over the coming weeks, teachers will be reviewing with students their individual achievement goals established after the September NWEA tests. Student goals were created with an emphasis on personal growth throughout the year. Reports will also be shared with families once testing has concluded.
Trimester Three, Quarter Two, and Semester One deadlines for outstanding work:
All late work or revisions that have been approved by teachers for late turn in must be submitted to teachers no later than Thursday, December 14th. Work assigned after December 15th may be turned in up until December 22nd. Please note that there will often be a lag between when a student’s late or missing work is submitted and when the grade is posted
AMI and 2 Hour Late Start Planning
With the start of the Winter season upon us, I wanted to remind all families what our AMI (Alternative Method of Instruction) will be should we have weather-related school closures this winter. On AMI days, district communication will be sent to families and staff announcing that all school classes will take place virtually, along with reminders for students regarding how to access instructional materials.
For SLMS, teachers will post student assignments in Schoology by 9:00am and be available to answer questions during Google Help Meet times (10:00-Noon) NOTE: Teachers will share Google Meet codes with students through Schoology. In addition to the virtual help sessions, staff will be available via email during normal school hours (7:35am-3:30pm)
In the event of a DELAYED START (Two-hour late start):
School will begin two hours later than normal. For middle school, our start time would be 10:20am. Buses would run their regular routes adjusted by two hours (ex. A regular pick up time of 7:35am would be 9:35am).

Let's show our Summit Lakes’ skills!
If your student lost something, please have them check the lost and found (located in the front office). All items will be donated on December 21st, 2023.
End of Day Transportation
- If you need to communicate a transportation change with a student, we ask that you notify the main office prior to 3:00pm. This allows us time to reach your student with the message, as students begin dismissing at 3:13pm.
- It is difficult to check students out between 3:00pm-3:15pm, as many activities occur during SOAR at the end of the day, and students are often moving between locations in the building. In order to ensure that you are not waiting, or late to appointments - please pick up your student prior to 3:00pm if you need to leave before 3:15pm.
- If you need a one-day bus pass for your student to ride home with a friend on a different bus - we need written permission from both families prior to 1:30pm the day of in order to arrange this with transportation. Written permission can be emailed to courtney.mitchell@lsr7.net.
A Note From The Cafeteria

- If you choose to bring a home lunch and choose to get something in the cafeteria those items will be charged at the register, for example sides (ie..fries, cookies, bread, fruit) those can all be purchased individually.
