Lebanon Middle School

Amazing projects along the Silk Road in Mr. Comeau's classes today...

The fastest kid at LMS was recognized at the Board of Education meeting tonight for his amazing post-season performances which included winning the NEMSAC Cross Country Championship as a sixth grader. Great job Cyril!

Lebanon Middle School’s Veterans Day celebration is a heartfelt tribute to those who have served our country. Organized by Mrs. Erica Strong, who did an outstanding job planning and preparing the event, the day began with a “Wall of Honor” displaying photos and information about veterans’ names, ranks, years of service, and unique experiences. The PTO sponsored a breakfast for veterans in the library, followed by a schoolwide assembly.

What a metaphor this morning - The sky was grey and the rain continued to drizzle. But then our Peer Mentors arrived at the Lebanon Town Green for their entirely student run Miles for Minds walk for mental health awareness and the clouds dissipated and the sun broke through. We could not be more proud!

We had a great time recognizing our sports teams, peer mentors, and summer reading award recipients at our pep rally today to end spirit week on a high note. The staff went into full Game of Thrones battle mode with Ms. Bielewicz finishing the week atop the iron throne.

Thank you to everyone who had an opportunity to come out to open house last night.

Our boys and girls cross country teams kicked off the season at home on Wednesday versus Porter. The boys took home the W while the girls team lost a close one.

Good Afternoon and Happy Labor Day,

iReady Diagnostic Testing:

This week we begin our first round of iReady diagnostic testing. We use these scores to establish tiered intervention groups for students who need that extra bit of support and to set the level for our individualized learning pathway, MyPath. It is important that students try their best on the assessment. As such, any student flagged for rushing through the test will have their test reset and will need to retake it. Any student who refuses to take the assessment or who becomes disruptive of the testing environment will face disciplinary consequences. We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations at home. Please ensure your student’s Chromebook is fully charged when they leave for school tomorrow.

Cell Phones:

Please remind your students that cell phones should be OFF and AWAY all day. If you need to contact your student, please call the main office and avoid encouraging your student to check their phone during the day. This policy will be strictly enforced this year.

Athletics:

Registration for fall sports (cross country, boys and girls soccer) are open. Visit the following website to register: https://lebanon-ct.finalforms.com/
The weekly practice schedule and competition schedules are updated daily at the following link which is also on our website: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSP2KhoGehdY7vYYO9Mwi6A6aNwYM8mr7JBrKJiWaCgxFeUy9UrHPn-zEOZ6rPail-s_pPtAAw3p3AT/pub

Enjoy the rest of your long weekend.
