LMS Eagle Update

Dear Parents,

It's been a great start to the semester. Typically with a two-week layoff, it takes a while to get moving again. However, with our exceptional staff and great students we were able to start where we left off. This is important because it minimizes lost instructional time. We have a lot going on this semester, so a smooth start is even more important.

Remember that Friday, January 13 is our 2nd 9 weeks awards ceremony. We will be celebrating honor roll, attendance, reading, and UIL awards. We will start at 1:30 in the old gym and you are welcome to join us. We will celebrate all three grade levels. Please check in at the front office before attending.

Report cards should be reaching you soon. We had a slight delay due to extended internet outages and were not able to get them printed last Friday. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Tomorrow morning 8th graders (and a select few from other grades) will be taking the PSAT. This is important because it gives students a practice run at a test that will become very important to them in the next few years but also provides us (and you!) valuable information about where your student is academically.

Finally, remember that Monday is a student holiday! We will welcome students back to school on Tuesday the 17th!

Sincerely,

William Paul

Principal

Lexington Middle School

Parents:

Reading is essential to success in school. Students who are struggling to read on grade level, have a hard time passing their other classes as well (they all require reading...even math!). Reading struggles are not only linked to academic behaviors, but disciplinary issues as well. Encourage your student to read every day.

For our part, we are encouraging reading through our Eagle Reader Award. We are rewarding every reader who accumulates at least 5 points worth of reading a 9 weeks, and are rewarding the Top Reader as well.

To be eligible for a reading award, students must submit their book reports into the questionnaire linked below. If they have read a book this nine weeks, they must fill this out to become eligible for the reward.

To participate, students must first read a book and then click on the link for:

1. A note from our LISD nurse will be sent home soon regarding proper procedures for medicine at school. Be reminded that ANY medicine a student needs to take at school needs to be turned into the nurses office as students are not allowed to self-administer.

2. Be reminded that anyone who will pick a student up from school must have their name on our "safe to transport" list. The person picking up students may also be required to show ID.

How can I get in touch with my child's teacher? Email is the preferred method, with emails available on www.lexingtonisd.net. If you wish to schedule an appointment with a teacher or grade level team, please call the LMS office or email the respective teacher.
