LMS Week At A Glance

Principal’s Message:

LMS students did a wonderful job with the PSSAs over the last couple weeks! If your student was out of school last week, they will be making up their testing on Monday.

 

This upcoming week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We have amazing educators at LMS and we are grateful to our Parent Advisory Committee for coordinating an Appreciation Lunch for this upcoming Friday, 5/9. If you’d like to contribute to this lunch, please sign up HERE.

 

Additionally, sometimes the best way to show value to those we appreciate is through words. Would you be willing to share some words of appreciation with our teachers? We’d love to hear the impact they’ve had on your students this year. If you’ll take a moment to fill out this google FORM, we’ll share some of these words of appreciation with teachers in this week’s daily, morning email. 

 

Character Trait of the Month:
Cooperation: One who does what is asked of them without grumbling or complaining.

Earlier today, some families in the Landisville area may have received an alert from the Hempfield Water Authority regarding elevated nitrate levels in their water system.

Please know that the district has been informed that water in all buildings on the Landisville campus — including Hempfield High School, Landisville Middle School, Landisville Education Center, Landisville Intermediate Center, Landisville Primary Center, and the Administration Building — has been tested and is not affected by this issue. There are no concerns with nitrate levels in our schools’ water.

The Hempfield Water Authority is actively working to resolve the situation and will notify us if anything changes.

The Parent Advisory Committee of LMS invites you to join us in creating a special lunch for the Teachers and Staff of Landisville Middle School in honor of Teacher Appreciation week. Please consider donating items for this lunch by signing up:
