Turning Dreams Into Reality
 |
| Megan Hallenbeck speaking at NJHS |
In the grade level assemblies, the Vice Principals and Dr. Cook outlined the changes with our cell phone policy. Many students were not in agreement with this but we feel that it is in their best interest. Did you miss the changes? Here are the changes:
Starting March 28 the students will no longer be able to use cell phones in the hallways in the morning, in between classes or at the end of the day. The reason for this change is safety and security in the hallways. They will be able to use the cell phones in the cafeteria and in classes where the teacher permits. Students will not be able to use cell phones when substitutes are in the class. Cell phones are a privilege not a right at LMS and failure to comply with the policies could result in loss of cell phone privileges. We also talked with the students about the concept of respect and how important it is for them to respect all of our staff members no matter what position they have.
Since implementing the new procedures, we have had very few infractions. We are so pleased that our students stepped up to the changes.
April is Autism Awareness Month
April is here!! It's time to celebrate and support our students living with autism. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its newest estimate of autism prevalence among the nation’s children – with numbers unchanged, at 1 in 68, from 2014. Based on these results, an estimated 1 to 1.2 million children under the age of 21 have been diagnosed with autism in the United States.

Understanding Anxiety - Submitted by Mrs. Padro
According to Thomas J. Huberty, PhD, NCSP, anxiety is one of the most common experiences of children and adults. It is a normal, adaptive reaction, as it creates a level of arousal and alertness to danger. The primary characteristic of anxiety is worry, which is fear that future events will have negative outcomes. Anxious children are much more likely than their peers to see minor events as potentially threatening such as giving a brief oral report, taking a test, completing classwork, etc. Anxious children are likely to engage in a variety of avoidance behaviors to reduce exposure to threat.
Wednesday, April 5, 2017 @ 6:00 PM - Social Media: Is It Friend or Foe?
Have you ever wondered about the consequences of misusing social media? Although social media can have a positive impact if used properly, there are very real concerns related to its misuse.
You are cordially invited to a workshop entitled Social Media Friend or Foe hosted by Detective Dwayne Watkins on Wednesday, April 5th at Lakeside Middle School at 6 PM. He will explain the legal aspects and concerns involved in misusing social media and answer any questions that you may have. You can enter through the front of the school and someone will direct you to the library.
