2025 - 2026 School Year
Dear Lanier families,
We are so glad to welcome you to Lanier Science Department! We are excited and optimistic about the 2025 - 2026 school year. Lanier is a very special educational institution. As we start this school year, please understand that we are here to support and ensure that your student feels welcome, supported, and connected to English, Language Arts, and Reading Department and the Lanier community.
Lanier Mission Statement
At Lanier Middle School, we provide a relevant rigorous academic curriculum in order to encourage students to become self-directed lifelong learners who are innovative problem solvers, effective communicators, open-minded thinkers, and caring participants in their local and global communities.
IB Mission Statement
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
Student achievement is our top priority; so to assist in your child’s academic success, we ask for the following two things:
check the reminder on the planner every single class, and;
ensure that your student follow the reminder, study the notes, and complete assignments on their own by the due date.
We believe cooperation between teachers, students, and families is necessary to ensure the rigorous, meaningful academic experience we wish to create to bring success to your child. We will not be standing beside our students’ sides to enforce our rules, but we ask that you still adhere to the high expectations outlined in the syllabus. That said, attend class promptly, take thorough notes, ensure your work is yours and yours alone (unless otherwise stated), and limit distractions. We are committed to ensuring every student has access to a high-quality learning experience at Lanier.
With our excited and highly-energetic students, we are all looking forward to a successful school year!
