Dear LTMS Parents and Guardians,

What a fantastic first week back it has been! Though short, our return to school was filled with excitement, energy, and plenty of smiles as we all got back into the swing of things.

This week’s cold and rainy weather reminded us to bundle up and be ready for anything! Thank you for helping your students arrive prepared and ready to dive back into their routines.

As we look ahead to the coming weeks, we are excited to continue building on this positive momentum. Stay tuned for upcoming events and opportunities to stay engaged with our school community.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Go Knights!

Ms. Hudson

While our campus leadership team works collaboratively with all students and teachers, the following information should help you reach the appropriate administrator or counselor for your child's grade level should a concern or question arise. We are committed to serving our students and appreciate the opportunity to work together with families to support our learners. Towards the start of the new school year, each counselor and Assistant Principal will be assigned new duties to individual grade levels, and we will share that information with families and students at that time. In the interim, please feel free to reach out to any member of our leadership team for assistance.
