Teacher Appreciation Week

May 3rd through 7th

The Teacher Appreciation Team has several fun events planned throughout the week, including thanking each teacher with a gift card. Principal Patrick raffles them off throughout the week. The students love it when their teachers' name is called over the loudspeaker to come to get their gift card.

We need your help now to collect enough gift cards for the 140 teachers, staff, and bus drivers at LMS. Please sign up here to donate a gift card today.

Place gift cards in an envelope marked “For Teacher Appreciation Week” and drop them off or mail to LMS on, or before Monday, April 26.

Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative (VMPI) Informational Sessions


math

The Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative (VMPI) is a joint initiative among the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). 

The Initiative supports the Profile of a Virginia Graduate by redefining mathematics pathways for students in the Commonwealth to address the knowledge, skills, experiences, and attributes that students must attain to be successful in college and/or the workforce and to be “life ready.”

A series of one-hour VMPI Community Informational Sessions will be held during the next several months to provide parents and community members an opportunity to learn more about the Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative. The sessions will take place on the following dates

Sessions will be live streamed on YouTube here at 6:30pm on the following dates:  

  • Tuesday, April 27th - Essential Concepts in Grades 8 - 10
  • Tuesday, May 25th - Advanced Pathways in Grades 11 - 12

The session recordings will be posted on this Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) webpage. Submit questions or comments using this form or via email to vdoe.mathematics@doe.virginia.gov.
