MAP Testing Over, EOC Exam Next Week
LMS is finished with our MAP Testing. The students really put a lot of hard work in over the last week. They were great!
The Algebra kids still have one test left, the End of Course Exam that the state is using to replace the MAP at the high school level. The Algebra class is really a high school level class and all high school students must take the Algebra EOC Exam after taking Algebra. Our kids just "get" to take it a year early because they are in an advanced class.

MAP Motivators
We have some testing incentives set up to help motivate our students. Anyone improving any of their test scores will get to attend our MAP achievement party in the fall. Each class whose overall score beats their own last year's class will be invited to the party as well. In addition we have daily attendance drawings for gift certificates to local establishments. And once again we have our travelling trophy contest with Plattsburg Middle School. The winner gets to keep the trophy for the year, and the loser presents it to the winning school at a ball game next fall.
As if those things aren't enough, the teachers keep track of each student's effort and attitude on a daily basis. Students that really seem to be trying hard, have a positive attitude and come prepared will be rewarded with a trip to the movies in May.
The travelling trophy contest was enough motivation for me! :)

Last Day of School!
We always build three extra days of school into the calendar for days we miss for inclement weather. Since we have only cancelled school twice this year, May 2oth will now be the last day of school, not May 21. That means there are now only 23 days of school remaining this year! That is really hard to believe!
Progress Report 8
As you know, we have been sending home progress reports every three weeks this year. We are due to send one around April 28th. We have decided not to report grades at this time. We have done so much MAP preparation and testing for the last couple of weeks that most students grades have not changed much. If you really need to know you can check on your child's grades through the homework portal, or have your child "pink slip" on any Monday and bring it home.
Homework Blog
Did you know we have a blogspot for 7th and 8th grade homework? Check it out at:

MAP Testing
Wow! We just finished two days worth of MAP Testing. The kids were awesome! They behaved perfectly and really seemed to put forth their best effort! We are hopeful that their scores will reflect their effort! Thanks to all the students for their effort, the teachers for their preparation and the parents for their support.
The sixth graders are done with MAP testing. The seventh and eighth graders have two more days, Tuesday and Wednesday 4/21 and 4/22.

Track Meet Changes
Some changes have been made in our track schedule for this spring. We are not attending the Cameron Meet on Tuesday the 7th. We will go to West Platte on Wednesday the 8th. Some schedules showed a meet at Maysville on the 9th, but there is no meet at Maysville. The rest of the schedule is unchanged.
MAP Testing Begins
LMS will begin MAP Testing on April 15th with the 6th, 7th and 8th Graders all taking the state mandated tests. The 6th grade will be testing on the 15th, and 16th. The 7th and 8th graders will test on the 15th, 16th, 21st and 22nd.
We will have two testing sessions each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
We do have some testing incentives set up to help motivate our students. Anyone improving any of their test scores will get to attend our MAP achievement party in the fall. Each class whose overall score beats their own last year's class will be invited to the party as well. In addition we have daily attendance drawings for gift certificates to local establishments.
