Hawks Landing 1

June 6, 2019

Dear Families,

Welcome to middle school! We look forward to working with your family next year. We want to invite your student to participate in a summer school program called Hawks Landing 1, for incoming 6th grade students.

Hawks Landing 1 will focus on math, literacy, science and organization. Students will also practice common 6th grade challenges of opening lockers, using planners and logging into Skyward to check grades. This is also a fantastic opportunity for students to start building relationships with 6th grade teachers so they feel more comfortable in middle school. We want students to start 6th grade feeling confident and prepared.

Hawks Landing 1 will be 3 weeks long, and will run from August 5- August 22, Monday – Thursdays from 8:00 – 12:00. Students will be in the middle school classrooms, and will not attend on Fridays. This class is free and the district plans to provide bus transportation for those who need it.

Please contact the middle school office at (360) 263 – 2136 with questions or to sign up your child. Students will be accepted until filled, with priority going to those who register early.

Thank you. Hawks Landing 1 is a lot of fun and is very beneficial for the transition to middle school.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am excited about the new school year and look forward to working with our students and staff to make it a great experience. This is my sixth year as principal at La Center Middle School, after working at La Center High School for eight years as the associate principal. It’s going to be so much fun! My background includes a bachelors degree in health education from the University of Oregon and a masters degree in educational leadership from Washington State University.

La Center Middle School is a place where learning environments are student centered, supportive and conducive to producing self-reliant, life-long learners. We strive to create learning environments where students can take ownership of their learning and be an active participant in the learning process.

We support a whole child approach, and value the balance of developing academic achievements alongside the personal and social skills necessary to be a happy and contributing member of a rapidly changing and diverse society.

You are welcome to come in or call for anything. Your continued support is vital for the success of our students and we welcome your feedback. La Center is such a great community. We all look forward to working with you and your families.

Lauri Landerholm,
Middle School Principal
