LVMS FENCING CLUB UPDATE: Despite our hopes (and the amazing efforts of Mrs. Brown), we regret having to let the school community know that we are unable to offer a Fencing Club this Spring. Always eager to extend opportunities for students, we will re-evaluate the potential for this club offering during the 2024-2025 School Year. Thank you to those who have expressed their interest!
Daily Announcements
This week, all LVMS Students will complete an electronic student survey. The goal of this "Climate, Culture, and PAWS Student Survey" is to poll our student body to gain basic information about the students’ current experiences at LVMS, and to gather ideas from students that might enhance their middle school experience and opportunities in the future. This is a follow up survey to one that was given to all LVMS students during the 2022-23 School Year.
Please CLICK HERE to view the notification post that was made available to all families on April 2nd. In the letter, you will find more specific information about the Student Survey, including question samples, topics from the survey, as well as an opt out request form should you feel necessary. Please feel free to reach out to your child's grade level counselor with any additional questions.
