WOLF WEEKLY

March 24, 2024

Good evening Lake Ridge Middle School Parents/Guardians-

This week is Spring Break and there is no school for the kids and is a great opportunity to take some time to relax.

Recognized ASCA Model Program

We are excited to announce that the Lake Ridge Middle School Counseling Department has earned the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Recognized ASCA Model Program designation. The Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) recognizes schools committed to delivering school counseling programs aligned with the ASCA National Model framework. The RAMP designation demonstrates that the department is committed to supporting the mission of the school and district and is successfully implementing the ASCA National Model framework that shows evidence of direct and indirect services to students, program planning and improved student outcomes in the school counseling program. As of 2023, approximately 1,300 schools have earned the RAMP designation throughout the Country. Congratulations to the Counseling Department for their efforts in supporting our students, staff, and community through the ASCA National Model framework.

End of the Quarter 3

The last day of the second marking period and first semester is April 8th. The end of each grading period is an important time to review your student’s progress and attendance. Families are encouraged to check in on your student’s real-time grades through ParentVUE and to discuss their performance. New quarter and semester classes will begin for students on April 11th as April 9th is a teacher workday and April 10th is a holiday.

Attention Families of Rising 9th Grade Students:

In the coming weeks, high school counseling departments are scheduled to come and meet with rising 9th grade students here at LRMS to complete the course request process. The LRMS Counseling Department will be visited with rising 9th Grade students this past week to talk about the course request process and the upcoming meetings with high school counselors. Course request scheduling forms can be found on the LRMS Counseling Canvas page and students and families are encouraged to review the scheduling forms as well as the High School Course Catalog. The following dates have been confirmed and we are working to confirm dates with a few additional schools/program coordinators and will share dates as soon as we can.
