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.
Student schedules will go live in PowerSchool on Monday, August 18th. Students will get a hard copy of their schedule on the first day from their Scouts for Scouts (S4S) teacher. Students will be able to request schedule changes using the schedule change request form that will be posted on our website on the 18th. Counselors will be available in the cafeteria on the first day if students forget who their S4S teachers are.
Practices for fall activities begin on Monday, August 18th. Football, volleyball, and cross country compete in the fall. 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 as part 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 this year. 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!
