Welcome Back, Panthers!
We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer spending time with family and friends, relaxing in preparation for the new school year. In the meantime, we’ve been planning for what promises to be an amazing school year, and we’re putting the finishing touches on those plans right now!
Our first day of school is Thursday, August 29th. We are excited to meet our incoming 6th graders, welcome back our returning students, and share all the opportunities that await them! Earlier today, the OnCourse Connect Portal was open to students and families. In OnCourse, when you log in, there will be some important information that you must review and “accept” prior to accessing your Portal. Once completed, you will be able to access your students' homeroom teacher for the 2024 - 2025 school year.
In order to help you prepare for our first day of school, we highly recommend that you visit our LVMS Back to School Website that is found on the main toolbar of the LVMS Website. In addition to summer learning opportunities and the suggested school supply list, you will be able to find our 2024-25 LVMS Team List. This will indicate the team that you have been assigned to and which core academic teachers that you will have throughout the school year.
On the first day of school, all of our LVMS teachers will be ready to welcome you and to help you to kick off the school year on the right foot. Your homeroom teachers will provide your full schedule and answer any questions you may have. There will be an extended homeroom to give you time to learn all about your full schedule, get time to open your locker, and get yourself grounded before you start your new schedule and meet all of your new teachers.
Until the first day of school, we hope you’ll plan to attend our 6th Grade Student Orientation on Tuesday, August 20th and stop by for our Summer Walkthrough events which are scheduled for Wednesday, August 21st and Friday, August 23rd from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
We wish you the best as you finish up your summer. You can continue to sleep in for a bit longer, but soon you’ll be boarding your buses and heading off for a great school year!
See you all soon!
Sincerely,
Mark Ippolito & Michael Mirabella
