Lawrence Middle School

The Lawrence School District appreciates our teachers. The care teachers show for the children is evident daily, whether in our buildings or remotely. Thank you Teachers, you are appreciated !

Dear Lawrence Families, We all share great pride in our students. To acknowledge the success of the class of 2020, please consider taking part in a Long Island wide event. You can do this by flickering your house lights and making noise (banging pots and pans) at your door for 20 minutes beginning at 8:20 p.m. tonight. (20:20 military time) . May 1st is Senior commitment day, when college acceptances are due and we want our seniors to know they have the support of our community. Stay socially distant but show your emotional connection to these fine students. Dr. Pedersen

Hello LMS Families. My thoughts and well wishes go out to all of you. Please know that we are here if you need support as we all face our "New Normal". We are doing our best to make connections with our students easier as we all navigate through these virtual platforms. As you know, our teachers are using Google Classroom, ITutor and now some teachers are opting to use Google Meet. Please have your child check their teachers Google classrooms to check to see the virtual classroom of choice.

Dear Lawrence Families, The Governor has announced that school will be closed until at least May 15th. Please stay connected with your teachers and our social emotional support teams during this period of “NY Pause”. Following social distancing guidelines remains our shared responsibility . We are proud of our students for their academic work ethic and for handling the tremendous emotional pressure of this crisis. Reach out for support, be strong and be well Thank you. Dr Pedersen

Attention Lawrence Families, the food distribution schedule has changed. The new schedule is: Monday pick up is for Monday & Tuesday, Wednesday pick up is for Wednesday & Thursday, and Friday pick up is for Friday & the weekend. Pick up times & locations have not changed.

There will be no live classes held through i-Tutor from Wednesday, 4/8/20 - Friday, 4/10/20. Students should check their teacher's Google Classrooms for assignments.

Food distribution will continue through Thursday this week. To allow for the holiday, food for Thursday through Monday will be distributed on Thursday. This will be 10 meals per student. Please bring something to take the food home in. Daily distribution will resume on Tuesday.

As we launch our virtual classrooms, please have your children sign into iTutor to attend their ELA and Social Studies classes. In addition, students should adhere to teacher directions within Google Classroom as to when to be present on iTutor and to obtain assignments.

Lawrence Strong. Socially Distant, Emotionally Connected. Keep up the good social distancing work ( and students, your school work too please).

Dear Lawrence Middle School Families, Thursday as Friday locker pick up will enable our facilities department to further clean the buildings. Social distancing rules are enforced at this time. Drive or walk up to the back of the building where you will give your name and locker number. Bagged belongings will be passed across a six foot table. It has come to my attention that many of our students are socially gathering during this pandemic. This is unsafe and not in compliance with State and Federal orders. Stay Home and stay safe. In any exception that you leave your home, such as locker pick up, follow strictly the social distancing six foot rule. Thank you Dr. Pedersen

Hello LMS families! I hope you are all well and following all of the federal health guidelines. Please be advised that we will be cleaning out your child's locker. We will have all of the contents bagged, labeled and ready for pick up on the following days. Grade 6- Thursday, April 2nd 8AM-11AM Grade 7- Thursday, April 2nd 12PM-3PM Grade 8- Friday, April 3rd 8AM-11AM Special Circumstances- Friday, April 3rd 12PM-3PM Please follow your child's grade schedule and look to pick up in the back of the building near our gym area. Wishing you all the best of health and that you're safe! Mr. Perry

As we launch our virtual classrooms, please have your children sign into their teachers Google Classroom for assignments and notifications regarding live instruction on iTutor.

Here for one another.

Any LMS student who left their Chromebook at school can come to the security entrance at the Middle School on Friday, March 27, between 9am - 11am. Tell the custodian your locker number and combination. The custodian will then retrieve the device. Lawrence thanks our hard working custodial staff for keeping the buildings going. Dr. Pedersen
