Afternoon Parent Pickup

In an effort to keep students safe, Lorena Middle School has designated pick up procedures for parents wishing to pick students in the afternoon. 

There will be two car lines where students are allowed to load into vehicles:  curb side and in the far outside lane that runs next to the teacher parking.  Grades 5 and 6 will be picked up on the curb side only.  Grades 7 and 8 may be picked up along the teacher parking.  If you pick up students in both groups, please pick them up on the curb side.  No cars will be allowed to park or stop in the center lane.  After students have loaded, parents still waiting are asked to pull forward as far as possible in the pick up lines as other cars are loaded and exit via the center lane.

Keeping the middle lane open allows for an orderly exit.  Additionally, if we should need emergency vehicles to gain access to the building, leaving the center lane open would allow emergency vehicles a path to the front entrance of the campus.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Believe It!

Lorena Middle School has a new parking lot!

On the most recent survey conducted by the district, parents and faculty expressed a need for additional parking at Lorena Middle School. With the extended parking lot, we have added 19 parking spaces.  Other improvements include sealing the front and back existing parking areas as well as repainting them.  In an effort to add definition to the front drive of the school, we have placed landscaping rocks along Leopard Lane. Those landscaping rocks were actually excavated from the area of the parking lot extension.  We are working to find a few more to complete the project. 

In an effort to keep all of our students safe, the car lines will stay the same. The city of Lorena has moved the school zone sign past the entrance to the LMS parking lot.  The goal is to set up a turn lane leading into the parking area of LMS.  A turn lane will help keep Leopard Lane open to two-way traffic when parents are waiting to pick up their students at the end of the school day.  Thank you in advance for supporting us and helping us keep students safe.
