      Lawrence is growing, and it is an exciting time as we reimagine Lawrence Township Public Schools! As we prepare to welcome our third-graders to LIS (upper elementary) and our sixth-graders to LMS as part of our five-year operational plan, the Lawrence Township Board of Education, along with the district leadership team, has been working with top-notch architects to develop a plan to renovate and expand our middle school. We believe that our students deserve facilities that support the academic, social, emotional, wellness and creative opportunities available to them. As we move toward a March 2025 bond referendum, we will engage our community in the process and ensure all voices are heard. Click to fill out this important survey.

      Lawrence Township Public Schools Explores Research-Backed Restructuring for Optimal Educational Development

      Lawrence Township Public Schools is exploring a strategic restructuring of grade level distributions to create a more developmentally and academically appropriate environment for all of our students. This research-backed initiative involves a five-year vision to transition to grade bands of third through fifth, and sixth through eighth, aligning our district with the State Department of Education recommended model. Research consistently shows that this grade level distribution better aligns with the cognitive and social-emotional development of students, providing an environment where they can thrive academically and developmentally. Lawrence Township Public Schools recognizes the importance of these transitional years and believes that this structure better prepares our students for the academic challenges ahead. Furthermore, by embracing true “upper elementary” and “middle school” models as opposed to the current hybrid, quasi-middle school approach, we address our families wish to keep our kids “young” by housing our students in an elementary building longer.
