WOLF WEEKLY

November 19, 2023

Good evening Lake Ridge Middle School Parents/Guardians-  We have a shortened school week.  Students will only be in school Monday and Tuesday and the office is closed the rest of the week.  We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving Break.

SPIRIT WEEK

As we wrap up our kindness celebration, we would like to have Monday and Tuesday as spirited and fun as possible.

  • Monday 11/20: Wear school appropriate pajamas because we shouldn’t sleep on kindness because it is never wasted.
  • Tuesday 11/21: Dress like we are old because being kind never gets old no matter how old we get.

ACTIVITY BUSES

Due to low ridership, activity buses have been canceled. Any student staying after school for clubs or athletics will need to arrange for transportation home after their club or practice is over.

PICTURE RETAKES

Victor O’Neill Studios will be returning to Lake Ridge MS on November 30 for picture retakes.  Retakes are for any student who was absent from or transferred after the original picture dates.  It is also for students who are dissatisfied with their original picture day portrait  Please note: if you previously purchased a photo package and would like to retake their photo MUST return their original photo package to the photographer in order to receive a new package.  Call or email Victor O’Neill Studios at [email protected] or 703-532-0013 with any questions.

RE-TAKE POLICY

LRMS in conjunction with the PWCS grading regulation will collaborate with students on re-assessment opportunities. Students will have a two-week window to re-test summative assessments from the date of the posted grade. Teachers have the autonomy to reassess specific objectives outside of this window through spiral reviews, benchmark tests, verbal quiz, etc. Formative Assignments should be completed as evidence in order to retake.  The student will have seven calendar days from the date assessment grade is posted to complete all formative work to prepare for the retake. Formative assignments will not be able to be made up outside of this window.   

EXAMPLE: 

Summative Assessment Date Posted: October 4th 

Formative Assignment Deadline: October 11th 

Summative Retake/test Deadline: October 18th
