Welcome to Lake Nona Middle School. School starts Aug. 13, and we hope you will take the time to engage in our school this year. Upon meeting the teachers and the school leaders, we recommend you introduce yourself! We look forward to partnering with you in helping to nurture and support our students and our community. We have great teachers who are committed to making a difference. They want to have an impact and have spent much of their summer doing professional development and thinking of ways to make this a great school year. Our school had an outstanding performance on state testing last year. We are an “A” school for the ninth year. Great schools always come back to the relationship between the child and the teacher. We look forward to our students’ parents engaging in middle school life. Join a parent committee such as the School Advisory Council and PTSA, come watch the games and our performances, keep informed through our weekly Kingdom’s Chronicle, Facebook and website. Make the educational experience at LNMS, your community school, a way of life. Make it something special that we all share and benefit from together.
