Dear LMS Families,

We are excited to welcome you to Back to School Night on Thursday, September 17th! This evening gives families a chance to experience what your child’s school day is like at LMS. You’ll meet teachers, learn about academic programs, and hear about classroom routines.

Please read carefully, as the evening runs differently for Grades 6–8 families and Grade 5 families.



🎒 Grades 6–8 Families

Families of students in grades 6–8 will follow their child’s B Day schedule, since Thursday, September 17th is a B Day.

  • 📚 Follow your child’s B Day schedule.

  • 🔄 Parents of 7th & 8th graders should attend their child’s Quarter 1 Cycle Class.

  • 🏃 Health & PE classes will meet in the LMS Gym.

🗺️ A Helpful Tip Before You Arrive!

Please print your child’s class schedule to bring with you, or be prepared to access the schedule on your mobile device.

We also encourage you to ask your child to review their schedule and hallway routes with you before Back to School Night. Your child can help you figure out the best way to navigate from class to class, making the evening much easier!



On behalf of Ms. King and the entire LMS faculty, I look forward to seeing you next Thursday for this important evening. We are excited to welcome you into our school and share all that makes LMS such a special place to learn, grow, and thrive!

With Lion Pride,
Dave Saco
