September Teacher of the Month

Congratulations to Mrs. Pitts!  Mrs. Pitts has been nominated and selected as the Lorena Middle School Teacher of the Month for September. Mrs. Pitts teaches 7th grade math, regular and advanced.  She has been teaching students at Lorena Middle School for 7 years.

Below is a portion from the nomination letter
Mrs. Pitts received:

I would like to nominate Mrs. Pitts for Teacher of the Month.  She is a quiet person and has a calm demeanor when dealing with her students. Mrs. Pitts does not get flustered easily.  She has high expectations for her students and they want to behave for her in the classroom.  Mrs. Pitts's students respond very well to her which leads to a positive learning environment.

As a parent, I appreciate her willingness to work at different grade levels.  I have enjoyed the opportunity for my children to have her as their teacher several times in different grades.

Mrs. Pitts is also a parent of students in the Lorena I.S.D., so she knows the importance of being involved with school activities and keeping parents informed. She sends weekly emails with academic and extracurricular activities which is a great resource for parents.

We have had Mrs. Pitts teach both of our children, one having her as a teacher multiple times.  We are thrilled that she will be teaching one of our children again, now in the 7th grade.
Congratulations Mrs. Pitts!

Meet the Teacher Nights

Lorena Middle School will host two Meet the Teacher nights in September.  The first Meet the Teacher night is scheduled for Tuesday, September 3rd at 6:00 p.m. for 7th and 8th graders. We will meet in the Lorena Middle School Gym.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about expectations for your students this school year.  It is also a great opportunity to meet your student's teachers and see where your students spend a majority of their day.  Additionally, if you need to schedule a more in-depth conference with one of your student's teachers, there will be an opportunity to sign up in that teacher's room.

The 6th grade Meet the Teacher will be held on Tuesday, September 10th at 6:00 p.m.  In addition to the above information listed for the 7th and 8th grade Meet the Teacher night, parents and students will have an opportunity to learn about the Lexington Trip scheduled for May 2014.

We hope to see you at one of the Meet the Teacher nights.  For students to be successful, it takes all of us working together.  Thank you in advance for you support.
