Hello LMS Families!

We are just six weeks away from the end of the year and everything is moving quickly.  We have MAP testing next week, MCAS the week after, as well as the preparations for 8th grade events.  It's going to be fun!

We've noticed quite a few students being dismissed to go home after they finish MCAS, and I would like to remind everyone that our Unified Arts teachers are still hard at work trying to complete their curricula before the end of the year.  Please consider the schedule when students text to go home.

And finally, take a look at the results from the 2024 National Latin Exam below: thank you to Ms. Hicks for all her hard work to prepare the students, and thanks to the students for giving their best!

I hope you all have a great weekend,

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

It was certainly a spirited week at LMS following April break.  Grade 6 had a two-day Nature's Classroom experience, and 8th grade is getting ready for the science MCAS next week.  I sent Google Forms for music class selections in 7th and 8th grade, as well as a world language class selection for upcoming 7th graders.  Please make sure to complete them soon so you can head into summer knowing your child's classes.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

Spring break has finally arrived, and maybe better weather as well?  We had a busy week at LMS and I hope you have the opportunity to spend time with the kids this week.  See you on the 22nd!

Jason

Hello LMS Families,

It's hard to believe we're about to enter the second week of April, especially when I look outside!  Spring break is the week after next, and after that, we have only eight weeks left of the year.  MCAS testing will begin with the ELA test on April 10th and 11th, and I'll send an email home this weekend with expectations for snacks, attire, etc.

I hope you enjoy the weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families,

As we prepare to say goodbye to March, I thought we had a pretty good month!  April brings showers for the flowers, MCAS, spring break and so much more!  I hope you all have a great weekend, and for those who celebrate, happy Easter!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

March Madness is here and we are definitely ready for spring!  The 8th graders took a field trip to Gillette Stadium (see slideshow below) today, and despite the cold weather, we're starting to get the kids outside at lunch to burn a bit of energy.  It's been a great week, and I hope you have a great weekend!  Go Gonzaga!!

Hello LMS Families!

We really enjoyed seeing our students and families on Wednesday for conferences!  I hear the conversations were good and really involved student input (or at least quiet acknowledgement).  Thank you for being here.

Tonight is the Grade ^ Kids Night Out from 5:30-7:30!  The entry fee is $5 and there will be snacks and beverages for purchase.  Please note that families must pick their children up as we don't want kids walking hime in the dark.

Have a great green weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We had a pretty good week at the middle school!  We've hit a nice groove following February break and just in time for MCAS season, I onlu hope the time change this weekend doesn't result in sleepy students for the next few days.

Just a reminder that conference day is Wednesday the 13th, followed by Grade 6 Kids Night Out on Friday the 15th from 5:30-7:30pm.

Have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

The week at the middle school was surprisingly calm, perhaps the students were still tired from vacation?  Either way, it was a nice to return to the routines of the school day.  Things are about to get busy, however, with an early release day, conferences, 8th grade field trip, and MCAS prep to name a few.

I hope you all have a great weekend and see you on the 13th for student-parent-teacher conferences!

Thanks!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We're heading into February break in a good place with lots of momentum, and when we return from break, I'll fill you in on what's to come: MCAS, field trips, etc.

Until then, I hope you all have a wonderful vacation week!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We certainly had an active week this week as kids and staff prepare for the upcoming February break.  All students took the math MAP test on Wednesday and the initial data shows a lot of improvement from the fall assessment!  

Spring conferences are March 13 and we will send information next week about format, times, and how to sign up.  Until then, I hope you have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families,

Thank you for taking the time to read our weekend update!  Our students took the ELA MAP test on Wednesday and they will take the math test next Wednesday, February 7 (also an early release day), but otherwise a smooth week ahead!  I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Thank you,

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We crossed the mid-year threshold!  It was another solid week at LMS and we're just getting started in the new year.  We have MAP testing on January 31, mid-term ends today, and lots more on the way.  Have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We had a short but energetic week at LMS, I think the weather and the long weekend had students ready for February break.  This weekend we have the LMS Drama presentation of The Llittle Mermaid Jr at Littleton High School Friday (7pm), Saturday and Sunday (2pm).  The kids and directors worked incredibly hard on this musical and we hope to see you all there!

Have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We had a solid week at the middle school and ready for another next week.  We have the LMS Drama presentation of "The Little Mermaid," check out the flyer below for more information.  See you Tuesday!

Jason

Spend an evening under the sea as Littleton Middle School Drama presents their production of The Little Mermaid Jr. Performances will be held Friday January 19th at 7pm, Saturday January 20th at 2pm, and Sunday January 21st at 2 pm. All shows will be performed at Littleton High School. Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the door or online at https://www.littletonmiddleschooldrama.com/

Hello LMS Families,

Welcome back to another LMS Weekend Update, the first of the new year!  I hope you all had time to spend with loved ones, not to mention having your houses free of teenagers during the day!

This was a typical week following a vacation, but most have fallen back into their school routines.  We have an early release day of Wednesday but otherwise a regular week (unless a snow day on Monday).

Please see the message below from Michell Kane, Principal of Shaker Lane:

Shaker Lane is hosting their Integrated Preschool Information Night virtually on Wednesday, January 17th. We welcome you to attend this meeting at 6:00 pm to learn more about the 2024-2025 school year offerings. The link to this meeting will be posted on Shaker Lane's website at 6:00 pm on January 17th. Should you have any questions, please contact Assistant Principal Rebecca Deacon at rdeacon@littletonps.org.

Have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

As we enter our holiday break and look forward to time with family and friends, I just want to offer my gratitude for your support of Littleton Middle School, our educators and our students.  There was a lot of joy and excitement in our hallways today, and it speaks volumes about the truly special community we have in Littleton.  I wish you all the best during our time off and for the year to come.  See you in the new year!

Thanks!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We sure had a busy week at the middle school, and we're all ready for a restful weekend.  The LMS band and choir club performed for families on Wednesday--what a great show!  The LMS Robotics Team is competing in the state championships Saturday against 70 other teams.  Good luck!!

We have an early release day on Wednesday, and the 7th grade field trip to see "A Christmas Carol" on Thursday.

Have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We're about to enter the final two weeks before December break and the kids are getting ready for a break!  We have a lot happening until that time, however, like our annual Winter Concert next Wednesday, and early release day on the 20th, and the 7th grade field trip on the 21st.  Term One report cards were published on Aspen today as well.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families,

I hope you all enjoyed a nice holiday weekend with friends and family!  It's hard to believe December break is only three weeks away!  We really enjoyed seeing the families that were able to attend our conference day on Wednesday, and if you were unable to make it, we look forward to seeing you soon.  Next week is a clean week with no distruptions, so have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families,

Thanksgiving break begins next week so we're sure to have a high-energy couple of days before that time.  We have our annual Turkey Olympics and Turkey Trot on Wednesday, it's one of the great traditions at LMS and we're excited to celebrate!

Conference sign-ups started this week and the deadline for registration is Monday evening.  There are a few spots left so don't wait unitl the end--please let me know if you need us to resend the link.

We likely won't have an update next week, so I hope you all have a wonderful holiday week!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We had a very short week but still managed to squeeze in plenty of instruction and learning.  Parent conferences happen on November 29 and we'll send an email link on Monday.  The format has changed this year to a single-day format with times from 8am-2:15pm.  There are no evening conferences.  I'll send a more detailed email this weekend.

Thank you to all of our veterans and I hope you have a meaningful day tomorrow.  Enjoy the weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families,

We survived the candy crush of post-halloween treats, and now we're getting ready for the holiday season.  Our pumpkin contest winners are:

6th Grade: Ms. Durkin's Advisory

7th Grade: Ms. Tompkins Advisory

8th Grade: Ms. Morgan's Advisory

Overall Winner: Ms. Pangington's Advisory

All the pumkins were a sight to see!

There is no school on Tuesday (Nov 7) and Friday (Nov 10) next week.  Enjoy the weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

Our annual pumpkin decorating contest is in full swing and the votes are being cast.  The students did incredible work this year, please click HERE to check out the awesomeness!  

We are adopting a digital hall pass system next week and I will send an email on Monday to explain the changes.  We will meet with students on Wednesday and Thursday to get them set up for the shift--I think it will be a great benefit to our students and staff!

I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the last warm days until spring.

Jason

Hello LMS Families,

We are halfway through our first term and the year seems to be going faster than most.  Mid-term grades are now available on Aspen if you would like to see your child's progress thus far.  We also finished MAP testing this week so we should have smooth sailing ahead.  

The Grade 7/8 dance is next Friday, October 27 from 5:30 to 7:30pm and is Halloween-themed.  The cost is $5 and there will be concessions available.

Have a great weekend!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

Earlier this week, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) recognized Littleton Middle School as one of the top 66 schools in the entire state for high achievement and strong growth.  With more than 1,700 schools in Massachusetts, it's quite an honor!  Thank you to our teachers, staff, students and families for making this possible--this was truly a community effort!

I hope you all enjoy the long weekend, see you on Tuesday!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We had a great week at LMS, the first full week of the year!  With Back-to-School Night, an early release day and Picture Day, we maintained our momentum and look forward to another great week.  Thank you to all the families who attended our event Monday night, and a special thanks to our staff for their wonderful work and driving home to other towns in torrents of rain!

Have a great weekend,

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

We finished our first (almost) full week of school and I could not be happier with our start to the year.  Students have learned the schedules, routines are forming, and everyone seems to be in a great place to keep this momentum going.  

We have a busy week next week: Back-to-School Night on Monday from 6-8pm and Photo Day on Thursday morning.

Please enjoy the weekend and see you soon!

Jason

Hello LMS Families!

What a wonderful first week of school!  Our students and staff seemed very happy to be here, we managed the new schedule and the typical distractions we expect to see in the first few days, and now it's a long holiday weekend.

Making a successful first week requires the effort of families, students, teachers, teaching assistants, nurses, custodians, clinical staff, office staff and many more--thank you all for helping us have the best first week in quite a while!

Please let me know if you need anything,

Jason
