LMS Eagle Update

Dear Parents,

I hope to see you at the Valentine's Dance tonight. To the students, dances are great opportunities for socialization and having fun. However, the importance of a dance stretches much further in that it fosters appropriate communication and relational norms. Thank you for allowing your children to participate.

Thursday, February 16 we are hosting the NAEP exam, a national standardized test given to 8th graders which gives us information about our nation's progress in math and reading. It will be very similar to the STAAR exam, so please have students get a good nights rest and eat a solid breakfast.

Finally, Monday February 20th is a student holiday.

Thank you for the support you've provided us this year!

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:
