| Our Kindness Initiative is Lightning Up our School! |
It's All About Respect at LMS!
We had a lot of exciting things that happened this week and some challenging things as well. Our school was re-validated as a National Demonstration School on Wednesday. This was the result of a lot of hard work and determination by our students and staff. This was our 3rd re-validation and we are a Demo school until 2022! The panel who coordinated the re-validation were impressed with our academic climate and culture, hallways, and higher order thinking initiative.
Unfortunaltey, we have had some challenges recently at LMS. We have students who choose not to resolve conflicts peacefully. When students choose to engage in conflict they are dealt with swiftly according to the discipline code. We do not tolerate this behavior because there are so many resources that students can utlize when their is a conflict. We have Guidance Counselors, Teachers, Support Staff, Student Peer Mediators and Administrators who are here to help.
Lakeside Middle School get re-validated as National Demonstration School
