Principal's Message...

Dear Lamar Middle School Community, As we transition from fall into winter, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for making M.B. Lamar Middle School such an incredible place to learn and grow. It continues to be my honor and privilege to serve as your principal. Over the past few months, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our students, and the support of our families, and I couldn’t be prouder of all we’ve accomplished together. Our theme this year, “Restore the Roar,” remains at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to fostering academic excellence, building strong relationships, and ensuring that every student feels safe, valued, and supported. As we head into this busy season, I’d like to remind our students and families of a few important things: Attendance Matters: Students should avoid unnecessary absences to ensure they don’t miss valuable instruction time. Let’s work together to prioritize learning and stay on track. Arrive on Time: Students should arrive to school on time each day to maximize their learning opportunities. Every minute counts! Devices: Please ensure students bring their devices to school fully charged every day and take care of them. These tools are essential for their success, and proper care helps us all stay on track. Dress Code: Students are expected to adhere to the district dress code. Let’s work together to maintain a positive and respectful learning environment. Safety: If you see something, say something. Keeping our campus safe is a shared responsibility, and we encourage everyone to speak up if they notice anything concerning. Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we strive to make Lamar Middle School a place where every student can thrive. Together, let’s make the remainder of this semester as strong as the start! Sincerely, Melissa Valdez Principal M.B. Lamar Middle School
