Please be advised we will be starting a new bell schedule on Monday, October 3rd. School will begin at 8:55 a.m. and end at 3:37 p.m. We need to meet the state mandate that addresses the number of minutes each child must be in core classes. Please see the About page for a more detailed bell schedule.
Thank you,
Francis P. Giblin
We, at Loggers’ Run Middle School, believe that student have a right to attend a safe and secure school where the focus is placed on learning. We seek to provide our students with a reasonable freedom of clothing choices within an established decorum. Clothing should be suitable, comfortable and reflect pride. We believe our standardized dress code will help promote a safe and wholesome learning environment for all students. The dress code is the responsibility of the student.
STUDENTS: This summer, in order to keep you actively involved in reading, you will be required to read two books. For your convenience, we have attached a list of suggested titles, which are both grade and age appropriate. If you wish to check the lexile of a particular title, please go to http://www.lexile.com/ or www.lexile.com/findabook for up-to-date lexile information. You should choose one book from the attached listing and an additional book from one of the following websites:

We’ve also attached a post reading activity to be completed after you have read each book. Please complete the activities and turn them in to your Language Arts teacher no later than Friday, September 16, 2011. You will receive a reading assessment grade upon completion of each assignment.
PARENTS: Reading with or to your child (ren) over the summer will help keep their reading skills alive and prevent the loss of necessary reading skills. Research shows that children who do not read during the summer may lose a month or more of the reading progress they made during the school year.
As always we encourage you to preview and discuss your child’s selection of books prior to him or her making their final decision. In this way, you will ensure they have selected materials which are age appropriate as far as difficulty and or content.
Loggers’ Run Middle School’s annual open house will take place on Thursday, September 8th, 2011 at 6PM. This is a great opportunity to find out more information about your child’s teachers and classes. Stay tuned for more information!
