Lamar Middle School

This is an exciting time of year where we look forward to the year ahead in middle school. It is also a time that requires some very careful planning for your future. Included in this newsletter are scheduled activities and information that will help you get ready for a successful new year at Lamar Middle School.

All Middle School students take the four core classes every year - English Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Math. For families looking for advanced math options for their student, we have two accelerated tracks available.

6th grade Accelerated Math - Algebra Track: Four years of math instruction are compacted into three years with students completing high school Algebra I in their eighth-grade year.

6th grade Accelerated Math - Algebra + Geometry Track: Additional Advanced Math experience compacts curriculum for 6-8 grade math in sixth grade, high school Algebra I in seventh grade, and high school Geometry in 8th grade.

Please click below for more information about our math levels.

Counselors will offer a zoom session with students during advisory the week of January 30th to provide information on choice sheets. Counselors will then go into science classes the week of February 6th to assist students with their courses. Current Lamar students will be using Self-Serve this year, meaning they will enter their own choices into the system. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to review the courses with their students so students are prepared for this.

Incoming 6th grade students and students new to Lamar will submit a paper choice sheet.

Contact the grade-level counselor.
