Join the PTA!

Thank you to all of the parents who have joined the LMS PTA so far. If you are still interested in joining, it is not too late!

As a PTA member, you will stay informed about everything happening around LMS and serve as an important advocate for our community of students. When the PTA gets involved, our children benefit. Our goal this year is to have 100% parent and teacher participation.

Now it is simpler than ever to join! Just visit: lmstn.givebacks.com/shop

ParentSquare

This school year, ParentSquare will serve as our unified communications platform, bringing district, school, classroom, and extracurricular communications together in one place. ParentSquare will be the primary communication tool across HCS as well as LMS. Contact information is linked to PowerSchool to ensure notification accuracy. ParentSquare will replace all other current communication tools, bringing messaging, alerts, and family engagement into one streamlined system.

There is also a ParentSquare app to have access on your phone throughout the day.

Class Dojo will no longer be used; teachers will message through ParentSquare as well as email.

Please refer to the email you received from HCS for more information on how to access and set notification alerts as we begin implementing this new communication platform.

Parent Portal

Make sure you have access the LMS Parent Portal — your go-to dashboard for staying connected and informed throughout the school year.

Inside the portal, you’ll find:

  • Weekly Ledgers and important updates
  • 2026-2027 School Supply Lists
  • The most up-to-date PTA calendar
  • Parent forms and documents
  • A private photo gallery
  • Helpful links to LINQ Connect and Givebacks
