The Bearcat Bulletin

Vision: Lamar Middle School strives to be a leading place of learning that inspires a community of collaborative, innovative, and resilient learners dedicated to reaching their full potential.

Mission: Lamar Middle School will reach our vision by designing engaging, personalized-learning experiences in a positive, student-centered environment that supports high expectations for all.

We are extremely proud of our Bearcat Babies. They have been working on minimizing classroom disruptions and physical contact. We can make these referrals go down so that learning can happen in all classes every day. Please talk to your children about following the CHAMPs expectations in the classroom and seeking the help of the teacher, counselor, or AP if they are having conflicts with other students. We have incident reports in the office and on the Lamar website if they need them.

We are here to create learning partnerships with students and parents. Please see the staff directory on the Lamar website to email any of your students' teachers. Conduct a weekly check of your child's grades in Skyward and Schoology. Click here to see a video on how you can check your student's progress on different platforms. Thank you for choosing Lamar.

Your proud principal,

Yvette Bradford
