The 2025-2026 school season is just around the corner. We are working hard to prepare for the upcoming year and the return of our students. Each spring, returning members of our student body select a theme for the coming school year. Our theme frames our collective work and guides the fulfillment of our mission and vision. The theme chosen for this school year is: “Rise Up, Stand Out, Be a Scout” Middle school is not a time to survive, it is a time to thrive. We are all expected to rise up and get better each and every day. We stand out by doing not what is easy, but rather what is right. To be a Scout means that you give your best effort in all endeavors, that you are there for your classmates, your family, and our school. Being a Scout means doing the right thing when no one is watching. By rising up, standing out, and living the Scout journey we will all grow during this school season.
The first big event of your student’s middle school career is 6th grade orientation on Wednesday, August 20th. At orientation, students learn about middle school life, build community, meet their classmates, tour the school, and get their schedules. Our student leadership team will be calling you with more information about orientation. Plan on dropping your student off at 8:00 and returning for a joint family-student session in our main gym from 11:00-11:30. If your student wishes to request a schedule change, they can do so online after they get their schedule.
Practices for fall activities begin on Monday, August 18th. Sixth grade students can participate in cross country during the fall season. Students must have a completed sports physical and a signed code of conduct on file in order to practice or compete. Families can drop off completed activity paperwork during our office hours. Families can also drop off paperwork drive through style from 4:30-5:45 on Wednesday, August 13th in the bus lane by the modulars.
Our school will be open for a no host open house on Monday, August 25th from 3:30-5:30. This is a time for students to put things in their lockers if they wish and to walk their schedule again. Teachers and staff will not be available to meet with families or answer questions. You will get a chance to meet your student's teachers at Back to School Night on September 2nd.
The first day for students is Tuesday, August 26th. It is a half day for students. Our doors open at 7:30 and class begins at 8:00. Students will be with their Scouts for Scouts (S4S) teachers until they are dismissed at 11:30. Students will be learning about middle school and building community. On half days, breakfast is available but lunch is not. Students must be off campus by 11:45. Wednesday, August 27th is our first full day of school. Our doors open at 7:30 and students are dismissed at 3:05. On full days, students must be off campus by 3:15 unless they are participating in a school sponsored activity.
Students will receive their Chromebooks on the 26th if their annual online registration has been completed. At the middle school students take their Chromebooks and chargers home with them. Students need to bring their charged Chromebook to school every day. We are an away for the day school, which means all personal technology (phones, tablets, smart watches, personal computers, etc.) must be turned off and stored in students’ lockers during the day. Students can access their personal technology after school at 3:05.
All families in our district must complete the Annual Online Registration every year in PowerSchool. This is how you update your contact information, give permission for your student to travel for school activities, grant your student permission to use technology, etc. Instructions for annual online registration and the link are on our district website under Student & Family Resources and then under the section Student Enrollment. If you have forgotten your PowerSchool login credentials, there is a link on the PowerSchool Parent Portal login screen you can click that says “Forgot Username or Password” to recover your login information.
We are very excited to have your student joining our school community. It is an honor that you have chosen to share your student with us and we look forward to working with you for the next three years. Please keep an eye on our webpage, Facebook page, and blog to stay informed about LMS happenings. It’s going to be a great year!
