Message from Mr. Hamacher
Dear Liberty Middle School Parents,
Good evening! The first full week of school is in the books! The students and faculty are settling in nicely to the new building.
Over the next few weeks, students will take the NWEA Fall Assessment for mathematics and reading. Students will take these assessments in their social studies and science classes. Advisory teachers will be reviewing the scores with students and discussing their progress toward their end-of-year goals. Scores will be available to parents in Skyward after the testing window closes in a few weeks.
Our LMS Football Team begins competition with their first game versus Hobart on August 27 at Chesterton High School. Onward Trojans!
We appreciate your patience while we have been adjusting our arrival and dismissal procedures. A few things to emphasize to make it as quick, smooth, and safe as possible:
When you enter our campus driveway, there are two lanes. Everyone should use the left-side lane (Row 1) until it is full to 900 N. Then, begin pulling into the right-side lane (Row 2).
Stay in your lane. Do not move to a different lane.
When arrival and dismissal begin, Row 1 will empty before Row 2 begins to move. Please be patient if you are in Row 2.
Officer Mike Steege will be assisting with arrival and dismissal traffic and monitoring the traffic rows.
Once the lines begin moving, they will go quickly.
During arrival, do NOT leave your lane after your child exits your vehicle. Stay in your lane and wait for everyone in front of you to exit our loading zone.
During dismissal, you CAN leave the loading zone once your child is in your vehicle.
Please be patient. We are all trying to move our students as quickly and safely as possible.
If you have a question or concern about scheduling, please email the middle school counselor, Laura Herrod, at lherrod@duneland.k12.in.us.
The Duneland School Corporation has adopted the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System for all grade 5-12 schools this year.
