Welcome to Londonderry NH Middle School

Facilities Profile: The 163,000 square foot building includes a library media center, classrooms, band, chorus rooms, science and computer labs, industrial arts rooms, cafeteria, gymnasium, multi-purpose room, and a newly acquired fitness center. History: Londonderry Middle School was initially constructed as a junior high school in 1982. In 1997/98, a large addition was built and adjoined to the school to accommodate sixth-grade students moving to a middle school philosophy in the Londonderry School District. Learning Environment: The school is organized into interdisciplinary, heterogeneous teams of up to approximately 125 students, each being taught by a team of teachers (English, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, Special Education, Health, Industrial Arts, Computer Education, and Art). Reading, World Language, Music, and Physical Education teachers are an essential adjunct to the team. The diverse talents, skills, learning styles, and interests of students at this age level lead to a variety of grouping patterns. Our math programs offer students the ability to enhance and meet the learning needs of those who demonstrate an aptitude for mathematics. All other classes remain heterogeneously grouped. Differentiated Instruction provides students of all abilities an educational experience that is challenging yet appropriate. The middle school continues to offer a time for students to receive the opportunity to get a personalized approach to instruction. Each day, the allotted time is called “Storm Time,” which allows teachers to schedule a time to work with students individually and in small groups. In addition, the students can access a variety of offerings throughout the building using the Enriching Students selfscheduling tool. Londonderry Middle School Vision: The middle school has adopted a vision of Excellence “taking what we do well and striving for better.” Three fundamental principles support this vision: Student Academic Growth, Instructional Refinement, and Collaborative Practices that create a rigorous and challenging curriculum with the appropriate educational supports that meet each student’s needs, interests, and abilities. Special Programs: The Middle School Acceleration Program has three major components: Math in Focus, Differentiated Instruction, and Advanced Studies. We offer high school courses for credit in the following: Honors Algebra 1, CP Algebra 1, CP Spanish 1, CP French 1, CP German 1 and Earth and Space. Foreign Language Program: High school level language courses, for high school credit, are offered to students in grade eight. Language choices consist of Spanish, German and French. In grade seven, students can take a six-week introduction to world languages course. Additionally, students will be exposed to cultural aspects of French and Spanish speaking countries. Special Curriculum: Advanced studies are unique to the Middle School and dovetail nicely into the existing middle school philosophy and physical structure. Our special curriculum teacher provides a curriculum specifically designed for students identified by their classroom teachers. Music: Exploring music is for students to learn about music in a non-performing environment. This course is designed to enhance music appreciation by studying musical styles, music theory, and music history. Students involved in performing ensembles participate in school-sponsored concerts and festivals. Performance opportunities exist with: Chorus, Select Chorus, Introduction to Orchestral Strings, Band, Jazz Band, and Orchestra. We also offer music alternative packages which run on a trimester basis and include the following options: adventure class, super study skills math lab, exploring Spanish culture, and rhythm and melody. School Counselors: The Londonderry School District Counseling Program's mission, in cooperation with family, community, and school, advocates for and promotes the educational, personal, social, and career development of students. Counselors are trained and skilled in helping students confront and resolve difficulties or conflict. Special Education: The Special Education Department offers various services designed to meet individual students' specific needs with disabilities. Referrals to special education can be made through the Multi-Tiered Support System (MTSS) Target Team, or by teachers, parents, school counselors, and others working with the student. Eligibility for Special Education is determined through a team process with a review of academic and functional achievement and cognitive profile measurements, classroom performance, teacher and parent input, and a determination of the need for specialized Instruction. If eligibility criteria are met, a case manager is assigned, an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) is developed, and the student's supports and services are implemented and monitored to ensure successful access to the general curriculum. The IEP team determines placement to provide programming in the least restrictive environment. LMS Library: The LMS Library provides a comprehensive collection of print and digital resources to support the curriculum, promote an appreciation of reading, and develop information literacy skills. Librarians collaborate with teachers to create projects that reinforce these necessary life skills to prepare them for high school and beyond. The library circulates various print and audiovisual resources for student, professional, and community use and provides access to laptops for in-library use. Technology Resources: The Information Technology Department strives to create an infrastructure that supports the curriculum and administrative objectives of the Londonderry School District, aiding all students and staff in research, communication, and learning. To do so, Londonderry School District's IT Department strives to maintain a network of updated, modern computer hardware running some of the latest software available on the market. LMS students will be issued a Chromebook prior to the start of each school year for their academic use in class and at home throughout the school year. This 1:1 device program will help students access resources, applications, and other resources for academic success. Physical Education: The goal of the Physical Education Department at Londonderry Middle School is to develop the whole individual. Activities include team, individual and dual sports, adventure activities, and fitness programs. Students participate in physical education classes for two consecutive days, every two days, for approximately 90 days a year. Sports: LMS participates in the following tri-county league for both boys and girl's athletic programs including Soccer, Cross Country, Field Hockey, Volleyball, Football (grades 7 & 8), Basketball, Cheering, Wrestling, Lacrosse, Baseball, Softball, and Track & Field Extra-Curricular Activities & Clubs: One of the highlights for LMS students is access to co-curricular clubs and activities. Examples include Drama, World Language Clubs, Reading Club, Health and Wellness, Golf Club, Student Council, Art Club, Boys' and Girls' Respect Clubs, Yearbook, and the addition of the fitness club. PTO at LMS The Parent Teacher Organization at the middle school is composed of parents who want to remain involved in assisting with student activities, fundraising, and other outreach programs. The PTO is a vibrant group of volunteers that meet bi-monthly with the principal and together support all the students at LMS. If you are interested in becoming a part of the LMS PTO, see their Facebook page for information. Recent Awards and Recognitions: 2025: Dollars for Scholars Recipient: Samantha Kelly
