Student Drop Off Procedures
IMPORTANT: Do not enter where the buses are - this is a safety issue. All students being dropped off for school must exit their cars in the faculty parking lot and walk to the far crosswalk near the cafeteria in order to cross safely to the school. Students who are being dropped off will enter the cafeteria side doors after 7:15 a.m. and will immediately report to the cafeteria until the morning bell. When the morning bell rings students will be dismissed from the cafeteria to 1st period. Students will not have access to the building before 7:15a.m.

SPS will be meeting with the rising freshmen to choose their electives for the 2024/25 school year. STEM & LAH testing was completed.
Congratulations to all the Middle School winter athletes. Spring sports are underway. Girls and Boys Track have begun training for the upcoming Spring track season. Participants have started to learn to throw the shot put and discus. Others are training for long jump, high jump, and running events. Baseball has begun preparing for our 2024 Spring season. Players have concentrated on individual goals on the field. As a team they have worked on hitting, infield, outfield, rundowns, baserunning and situational baseball to help prepare for their first game. Softball has been working hard everyday to get ready for their upcoming Spring season. Participants are beginning to build on fundamental skills and work together on the field to be one cohesive team. Go Lions!

LTMS Club Updates
- Spring Intramurals are off to a great start. We have had solid participation every session and the kids are ecstatic to be outside, enjoying the spring weather playing a variety of sports. We are meeting 2-3 times a week and are planning a lot more fun and exciting events for the rest of the spring!
- Math club students practiced logic puzzles and brain games related to math. At the next meeting students will prepare for Ocean County Math League Contest on May 22nd.
- Chorus is working on selections for their Spring concert in May.
- Chess club will be resuming on April 15th.
- Proud Paws held a book drive during the month of March, "How Lucky Can You Get", for the Veterans Association. Over 400 new and used books were donated by our Lacey Township Middle School students and staff.
- Peer Mediation continues to monitor and assist in peer related conflicts and help resolve these issues in a respectful manner. We have also been working hand-in-hand with Proud Paws in the club related drives that they have been conducting.
- Student council continues to work on ongoing projects including seasonal door decorations, promotional paws, spirit weeks, and preparing for the 8th grade dance. They will also soon be planning for and running the elections for officers for the 2024-2025 school year.
- Art club met and discussed the principle of art known as emphasis. We looked at examples of artwork that showed a variety of ways in which artists use emphasis in their work. Students gained an understanding how emphasis can control the eye of the viewer and make them focus on what the artist wants. For the next meeting we will be discussing popular culture and media and how they influence artists, especially in the realm of Pop Art.
