You have just become a member of the student body at what we believe is the finest middle school in Thompson School District! Much time, energy, and thought have gone into planning at LEMS so that you may have the best possible learning environment. An outstanding staff has been hired to inspire and challenge you! We know that as you step through the front doors of LEMS you will sense the pride here. You are here to share that pride, participate in the ongoing development of tradition at your school, and take on the responsibility that comes with striving to be the best.

Every community has rules to help each member live safely and successfully and so do the people at LEMS. This handbook is designed to inform you of important school rules, procedures and policies that apply to you. Please read and discuss this guide as a family so know what is expected of you at Lucile Erwin Middle School and in Thompson School District. Please familiarize yourself with the Thompson School District “Code of Conduct” which was written to ensure safety, equity, and accountability for all of our community members. Your education is the most valuable investment you will make in yourself, make the most of it!
