Links for the Home Learning Plan 

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS! 

We want to start out by thanking the students and families for their patience with the Home Learning Plan for Lakeside Middle School. We are in unprecedented times and we are building this plan while we are flying with it. 

Our staff have been amazing with this transition. We are so grateful for how flexible and cooperative they have been. Many are trying new technology and ways to connect with students. They are to be commended!!! 

We also want to thank our Cafeteria and Maintenance Staff. The Cafeteria Staff has given out over 500 meals in 4 days to Millville Public School families. They have even assisted in handing out the Home Learning Packets. Our Maintenance Staff has begun disinfecting the entire building. As they finish a section, they are not allowing anyone in the area. When the students and staff come back to LMS we will have a very clean and disinfected school!

Did you think we were cancelling the LMS National Junior Honor Society Inductions previously scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 6:00 PM? We are going to try using virtual tools for the students to be recognized. When we return we will do the full ceremony. Be on the lookout for more information.
