I would like to open this week's update by welcoming those incoming 2018-2019 families that will be new to Lake Nona Middle School in August. Typically we contact our school community each week via The Kingdom's Chronicle to share news on important events, recognize student/staff successes, and recap our weekly results in the form of our leading success indicators that impact student achievement (table).

Common Final Exams
On Monday morning we begin with the administration of CFE's campus-wide - daily schedule. If you have a student at LNMS, please make sure they arrive to school on time coming off a good night's rest and have eaten a good breakfast that morning. Thank you.

Knight Sweep This Week
When teachers are investing all they have into student achievement and engagement, it's frustrating to have students walk in late to class. At the very least it's a disruption, but it can also cause somewhat of a restart to the class.

So occasionally we conduct a "hall sweep." It's pretty simple. We pick a certain period of the day and once the bell rings, teachers are asked to lock their doors and refer all tardy students to their grade level office. Once students report there, the administrators assign consequences to students caught in the hall sweep because observably these students were tardy to class.

We mention this because we will have hall sweeps this week! It's obvious to all that punctuality is a good lifelong skill to possess, and this is something all schools try to enforce.

Attention 7th Grade Parents
Pleases be advised ALL students entering the 7th grade are REQUIRED to have the Tetanus Diphtheria (TDAP) shot before entering school per Orange County Health Department. Please bring proof of immunization ASAP. No shot = No schedule!

Wishing you a successful week ahead.

In Knights Honor,
