Wednesday, September 7th

6:30 to 8:05pm

Parents are invited to attend the LTMS Curriculum Night on Wednesday evening. Parents will learn what it is like to be a student at LTMS. Each student should bring home a copy of their schedule and a school map on Tuesday. Please bring this with you Wednesday night.

We will operate on an abbreviated bell schedule and parents will move from class to class and receive pertinent information from each teacher.

Due to the nature of this event, teachers will not have an opportunity to discuss individual student issues. Individual matters should be addressed via email or at a scheduled parent/teacher conference.
