Start Strong Testing Reminders!
The New Jersey Start Strong Assessment for Grade 6 Science will be held on Monday, September 12th. Any students who missed ELA or Mathematics sections (scheduled last week) will complete make ups this week. The purpose of this state testing is to provide the district with an early indication of the level of support students may need based upon the prior year’s academic standards. Included is the testing schedule and some general reminders:
Testing Schedule:

PickUp Patrol
All families should have received an invitation email to enroll in PickUp Patrol (email came directly from PickUp Patrol). If you have not already, please register for and create your account.
PICKUP PATROL IS CURRENTLY LIVE AND PARENTS ARE ALREADY ABLE TO UPDATE STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND PICK UP INFORMATION.
LVMS will utilize PickUp Patrol in the following ways:
- Reporting Student Absence from school (sick, doctors appointment, etc.)
- Reporting a student coming to school late
- Requesting to pick up a student early from school
- Giving permission for a student to walk home after school or NOT take the bus.
LVMS will continue to accept phone calls for absences / hand-signed parent notes for early dismissal and walking until October 1, thereafter all LVMS Parents/Guardians will be expected to enter ALL attendance information exclusively on PickUp Patrol.
ALL STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN CLEARED TO TRYOUT FOR FALL SPORTS SHOULD PLAN TO ALSO BRING REGULAR SNEAKERS IN CASE TRYOUTS ARE MOVED INDOORS DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER.
Please be sure to check out the LVMS Sports Portal for all schedules / sports team updates.
