LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families,

Monday, March 9th will be a B day.

Green Valley Book Fair Extended to Tomorrow!
The Green Valley Book Fair in the LCMS library is extended to tomorrow to ensure everyone has had a chance to shop for some great books at incredibly discounted prices! Students can stop by the library during morning arrival or during lunch to make a purchase!

End of Third Grading Period: Friday, March 13th
The end of the third grading period will be this Friday, March 13th, and report cards will be sent home with students on Friday, March 20th. Please take time to review your child’s grades in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and check in with them about any missing assignments or incomplete work. Let’s finish the third grading period strong!

Attending After School Athletic Events
The spring sports season is underway! Our teams are poised to have a great season! Be reminded that on days when we have home athletics events, students need to leave school as usual and return to school with an adult to attend the event. Students are not able to stay on the school campus without prearranged staff supervision. Also, students may not go to the Louisa County library and then return for an event; the library does not have structures in place to supervise our young Bobcat spectators. We look forward to cheering on our athletes this season!

Family Life Education Letters
Family Life Education letters have been given to students in Health/PE classes. The forms should be returned to Health/PE teachers. Family Life lessons will begin the week of March 17th. If you have any questions, please contact your child's Health/PE teacher.

Youth Art Month
The annual Student Art Show at the Louisa County Public Library is taking place during the month of March! Stop by to see some of our Bobcats’ artwork on display!

LCMS Yearbook
Be sure to order your LCMS yearbook for $45 (price valid until April 30th). Students can take cash or a check payable to Louisa County Middle School to Ms. Ventre in room 901, or you can order online. Students can celebrate their journey, friends, and achievements in this incredible year, forever captured in our LCMS yearbook!

Integrated Reading Writing SOL Assessment for 8th Grade Students: Wednesday, March 25th
The Standards of Learning (SOL) Reading assessment includes an Integrated Reading Writing (IRW) test item. Our 8th grade students will be taking the IRW assessment on Wednesday, March 25th.

Eighth grade students will read a nonfiction passage online that may be about a history or science topic and then answer four to six questions about what they have read. One question is a writing prompt, or a question that asks students to write about what they have read. Students will complete this SOL test online in one session on Wednesday, March 25th, and lunch shifts will be adjusted slightly that day for the testing schedule.

LCPS Arts Festival: Saturday, March 28th
We hope our Bobcats will join us for the 2026 LCPS Arts Festival on Saturday, March 28th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Louisa County High School. There will be student artwork on display, musical performances, art-making stations, and more!

Future Dances
On Friday, March 27th, we will have a dance from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students as a way of welcoming our future Bobcats!

The 8th Grade Formal will take place for 8th grade Bobcats on Saturday, May 2nd from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. The theme (selected by votes from 8th grade students) is “Neon Glow!”

These are all great opportunities for middle school memories to be made!
