LMS HOOFPRINTS
Lilburn Middle School Newsletter DECEMBER: 2016-2017
Principal's Corner 12/05/2016
Greetings to All:
It’s hard to believe, but we are nearing the end of our first semester of school. Most importantly, our students will be taking their final exams on Thursday, December 15th (1st & 3rd Academics) and Friday, December 16th (2nd & 4th Academics).
Our students must begin to prepare for these assessments now by doing the following:
- being present for and engaged in learning,
- reviewing old notes,
- reworking old test and quiz problems, and
- doing all homework.
Also, we continue to encourage all students to read at least 20-30 minutes per night and write short summaries about what they have read.
To be promoted to the next grade, all students will be required to pass 5 out of 6 subjects each semester. Language Arts and Mathematics must be two of the five subjects passed each semester. In addition, students in grade eight are also required to achieve Grade-level or Above in the Reading and Vocabulary domain of the language Arts Georgia Milestones End of Grade (EOG) Assessment and achieve the performance level of Developing or higher on the Mathematics Georgia Milestones End of Grade (EOG) Assessment.
Student grades and progress can be monitored through the Parent Portal. We would like to encourage you to sign-up for the parent portal. Students can monitor their grades, access online resources, and teacher course pages through their “My Student” login.
To learn more about how to help your child improve their academic performance and how to prepare for the Georgia Milestones Assessments (GMAS), please visit the Georgia Department of Education website at the link below to access valuable resources about the new Georgia Milestone Assessments:
To help students practice for the Georgia Milestone Assessment, we ask that you have your child practice using USA Test Prep at www.usatestprep.com/Member-Login. Your child should have received a temporary login and password from their teacher. Your child will then need to create an account for a permanent login and password.
We appreciate all that you do to support our students achieve academic awesomeness!
We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season!
Happy Holidays!
