First Marking Period Recognitions

On Tuesday evening, November 30, 2010, the Lawrence Middle School (LMS) will be holding the First Marking Period Student Recognition Assembly.  The program will begin at 7:00 pm in the Middle School Auditorium.  Students will be recognized for participation in Fall sports/activities, placement on the Honor Roll, participation in community service activities and achievement as an LMS “All-Star.”  We have contacted families via e-mail distributions and phone dialers.  If you have questions please contact us in the main office.  We hope you can join us for this special evening. 

 

LMS Book Fair

The middle school book fair will take place on Thursday, November 18 and Friday, November 19 during conferences.  Even if you don’t have a conference scheduled, come in and see the great titles that are available for you and your children.  Discounts and free gift wrapping are available and all proceeds go to the middle school Reach for the Stars program. 

Emergency Drills

Starting November 2010, all schools in the state of New Jersey are required to have one emergency drill and one fire drill each month.  The emergency drills consist of lockdowns, bomb threats, evacuations and active shooter drills.  The teachers have been speaking with the students about the procedures and why we will be having these drills.  The monthly drills will help prepare the students and staff about what to do in the event of an unexpected emergency.

 

Early Dismissal

The middle school will be dismissing at 12:15 PM from November 18 – November 23 for parent teacher conferences and on November 24 in preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday.  LMS does not serve lunch on early dismissal days however the PTO will be selling pretzels after school for $1.00.
