Practices will be held Wednesdays and Thursdays, after school during A session (2:30-3:35pm) and athletes will have the opportunity to go to a B session club or study hall if they need to ride the late bus home.  Check out the LJMS Athletics website for more information about eligibility requirements and competition schedule.

High School Activity Day- March 15

8th graders attending Oakton HS, Madison HS, and Marshall HS have been invited to attend an "Activity Day" field trip to their future high school on Friday, March 15th.  (due to ongoing renovations, Falls Church HS is not hosting an activity day this year)

Using information from SIS, we have added students to a Schoology group designated for their future high school, and the field trip permission form is located there.  Please download, print, sign, and return those permission slips to the Student Services office by Wednesday, March 13th in order to secure your spot on the field trip bus.

If your student needs to be added to one of the groups because you've recently changed your high school intent... please reach out to their counselor to verify that the change has been made in SIS, and then let me know.

If you need a hard copy of the form to fill out, they are available in student services now.


HTSMS 2024 Registration is Open

Do you have a rising 7th grader headed to LJMS next year?  Don't forget to sign them up for "How to Survive (and thrive) Middle School"... our annual two day "orientation program" for future tigers is scheduled for July 31-Aug 1, from 9am-1pm. 

The cost is $40, and that includes transportation and lunch each of the two days, as well as an LJMS t-shirt.
