Volunteer Lanier
During this time where we are all adjusting to daily and seemingly hourly changes to our lives, look to see what you are able to do to show that Vol Lanier spirit. Can you help out your neighbor who may be a little older and more susceptible to the COVID-19 virus? The Lanier spirit is strong and there is no better time than now to show it.

Introducing Friday Activities
When you open eCLASS you are always directed to the Lanier Middle School Landing Page. Today you will notice we have launched our Friday Activities Website. This initiative is designed to give students different learning experiences and is in line with the county's new message of moving to a 4 day academic week, where Friday's give students the opportunity to complete missing assignments, review the week's lessons or engage in the activities provided on this site. These activities not not required, but students are encouraged to explore and engage!

Mobile Book 5K
GCPS Bookmobile 5K
Due to the current health crisis, we will not be able to gather in Peachtree Corners for the May 2, 2020 Book Mobile 5K. Our world and the way we work, live and play in it, has dramatically changed, and events like our 5K are forced to change as well.
What hasn’t changed is the need to put books in kids’ hands! So, rather than cancel or postpone the 5K, our event is going virtual!

Teacher Collaborative Time
Parent Partnership
Take a little time with your child to see what they are working on and what tools they are using so it becomes easier for you to check and see that their work is being completed.
Thank you for your support and partnership
