Lakeside Lightning,
It's All About Respect at LMS!
Welcome back from Spring Break. We all hope that you enjoyed your break and are ready to come back refreshed for school!
This week we will begin our state assessments. The assessment, formerly PARCC, is called NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment). The results of the NJSLA will be used to judge our school as compared to other schools in New Jersey. We know that one assessment should not be used as a measure, it is extremely important that all students try their best on the NJSLA. Throughout the next few weeks we will not be using the bells and their will be certain hallways that will be "quiet zones" since each grade is testing at different times. We appreciate all students cooperating with our expectations for the next few weeks.
NJSLA Overview
Grade 6 - April 30, May 1, and May 2
Grade 7 - May 3, 6, and 7
Grade 8 - May 8, 9, and 10
