Reminders to students:
- Please plan to get a good night's rest prior to testing
- Bring your laptop and charger to school daily. No other electronics will be allowed in the testing room.
- Know that you will be asked to remove anything covering your ears and you will be told to put all electronics away and across the room from where you are testing.
- We begin testing promptly at 7:30am. If you arrive late to school on any of the testing days you will need to make that time up on a later date thus missing other classes.

Parents, Earn Your Students MTSS PAWS Tickets
MTSS stands for Multi-Tiered Systems of Support. This is the system we use at LMS to promote learning and positive behavior support for all students. Click HERE to see our PAWS Matrix
PAWS stands for Positive, Accountable, Work Hard and Service. Our PAWS pledge is read during every morning announcement:
- I will have a POSITIVE attitude and treat others the way I want to be treated.
- I will be ACCOUNTABLE for my actions and reactions.
- I will WORK HARD, be open-minded, and ask questions when I don’t know.
- I will show SERVICE by doing my part to keep my school safe, help others, and contribute to my community.
This month, students are focusing on "Bathroom Expectations". Let's work together to promote efficient and responsible bathroom use at school.
Parents, take this short quiz to earn your child a free PAWS ticket!
The state of Maryland has a high school graduation requirement for students to learn how to practice citizenship. As part of their student service learning, all 6th graders are teaming up to sponsor a Spring Food Drive for local food pantries.The food drive will take place April 22-26. Students are asked to bring in nonperishable or boxed foods to help restock the pantry and help our local community for their student service learning project. Our sixth grade students have been learning about Classical Traditions and Giant Empires.
Students have previously studied hunters and gatherers. One standard that they spent a large portion of time on is: Describe the characteristics and innovations of hunting and gathering societies, such as nomadic lifestyles, inventors of tools, adaptation to animal migration and vegetation cycles, and the shift from food gathering to food-producing activities. We thank you in advance for your support.
