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!

Thank You for Your Assistance With The Attendance Challenge
Attending Every Day is PAWSitively Sweet
Unofficially, the challenge still exists because we have many more weeks to go before the end of the school year and we have testing within that timeframe. Please try to get your students to school during testing with charged laptops. Thanks again.
What You Need to Know About Testing
Testing Dates:
MISA (8th Grade Only) - March 13-14
MCAP (Whole School) ELA - April 15-18, 2024, Math - May 1-2, 2024
Social Studies (8th Grade Only) - May 15-16
Reminders:
- Students need to arrive on time as testing will begin promptly at 7:30, no students will be allowed in the testing environment after that time.
- Should students need to miss one of the above test dates they will be placed in a make up testing group and need to be pulled out of class at a later date to complete the testing missed.
- All students should come prepared to test with a charged laptop. No other electronics will be allowed in the testing environment.
- Students will need to utilize homeroom time to update their laptops weekly (most teachers are giving this instruction already). Any additional apps/programs that students have placed on their laptops that are not for instructional purposes should be removed as these may interfere with testing.
