Good evening Lake Ridge Middle School Parents/Guardians-  

TOUCHBASE EVENT
We will be hosting a Touchbase event tomorrow, November 2, 2026, from 8:30-10:30 a.m.  The event gives you an opportunity to speak with your child’s teacher(s).  You will get to spend about 3-5 minutes with each teacher, but it is not designed to be a parent/teacher conference.  There is no need to signup and parents will be seen on a first come first served basis.

LOST & FOUND
As we’ve reached the end of the first marking period, there is a large accumulation of lost & found items as well.  Please ask your student to look in the cafeteria for lost clothing, water bottles, lunchboxes, etc.  They can check the front office for lost phones, headphones, house keys, and jewelry.

MATH CLUB
Students who enjoy challenging math problems and friendly competition are invited to join the LRMS Math Club! Members will work individually and as a team to prepare for the LRMS Math Bowl, MathCounts, and other area math competitions. Interested students should complete and return the permission form found on the student Canvas page.

TRAVEL TO ITALY
One summer, a thousand stories, travel to Italy in 2028!!!

Eat authentic Italian pizza, pasta, and gelato. Bike through the hills of Tuscany. Train like a gladiator in Rome before touring the Colosseum. Stand on the battlefields of Anzio and Monte Cassino. Explore Pompeii, hike Mt. Vesuvius, cruise around Capri, and experience some of the most incredible art, beaches, ruins, and cities in the world with your friends and family.

From Florence to Rome to Sorrento to Capri, this isn't just a trip to Italy.

It's an adventure 2,000 years and one World War in the making.

As we are slowly closing out our Fall 2026 season, we wanted to begin sharing information about our Winter 1 Season (Boys' Basketball). In order to be eligible for tryouts starting on November 9th after school, you will need to complete the following:

• Register for the "2026-2027 Athletic Season" through Arbiter - must register every school year and complete the necessary trainings through Arbiter. There is no separate website or quiz; it is all in Arbiter.
• Have an active/updated Athletic Physical uploaded to Arbiter - check the "Physical Date Expiration" to ensure that you do not need to upload a new physical before tryouts
• Tryout specific information will be shared closer to tryouts. 

Reminder for Student-Athletes and Families
Student-athletes are reminded that they are responsible for bringing all equipment, clothing, shoes, and other items needed for practices and games with them to school.

Please plan ahead and double-check that all necessary sports items are packed before leaving for school. The front office is unable to accept parent drop-offs of athletic equipment or other sports-related items during the school day.

If a student forgets an item, parents/guardians will need to make arrangements to provide it directly to their student after the school day has ended.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping our student-athletes come prepared.

 

There is no school for students Monday and Tuesday.  Wednesday will be an “A” day.
