New 6th grade Parent Night at all Middle Schools

May 14, 2013

New Hawk Night at Lakeridge Middle School
This special time is for parents and students to receive information about middle school.  The doors will open at 5:00 p.m. so parents can informally visit with the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) officers.  Spirit wear will be available.  Tim Luhring, athletic coordinator, will also be available to answer your questions regarding sports and activities. 

Our formal Parent Night will begin at 5:30 p.m. and last until 7:00 p.m.

At 5:30 p.m. in The Commons we will greet you with opening comments.  Following this, there will be breakout session rotations with more specific information from staff on the following topics:

• Administrators and Campus Safety Officer
• Welcome to Lakeridge
• Our Shared Vision for Lakeridge
• Counselors
• Middle School Schedule
• Registration Information
• Sixth Grade Teacher Team
• Where Everybody Belongs (WEB)
• Specific Academic Content Information
• Encore Classes
• Specific Academic Content Information

Counselors will be visiting the elementary schools with registration information. You will have the opportunity to review the materials with your child and make decisions regarding 6th grade courses before returning the materials to your elementary school.

In August, students will be invited to Lakeridge to pick up their schedules, practice their locker combinations and tour the school.

Remember, if you have any question or need assistance, we are open for business every day.  Please call the Counseling Office at 253-891-5111 and Heather Guiberson, secretary, will assist you.
