LMS Schedule ⏰

LMS follows a schedule similar to the high school.  

• Blue and White days are block schedule days.

• Ram days are full schedule days where students attend all of their classes.

• In a typical five-day week:

  • Mondays and Thursdays = Blue days

  • Tuesdays and Fridays = White days

  • Wednesdays = Ram days

• In four-day weeks, the Ram day is omitted.

• The first day of school will be a Ram day, ensuring that students meet all their teachers and get off to a smooth, well-rounded start.

7th Grade Teams 

Each grade has four teams. The 7th grade teams are Team Cyclone, Team Wave, Team Avalanche, and Team Lightning.
