Field Day Volunteers

Informational Tours of Lurgio for the Parents of Rising Seventh Graders:
On June 2 and 3, from 5:30pm until 7:30pm, Ross A. Lurgio Middle School will be hosting informational tours of the building for parents. The goal of the tours is to familiarize parents/guardians with Lurgio Middle School and what life is like for our students.  This event is just for parents; students will be having their own tours on Move-up Day. To help maintain social distancing in our school building, we will be limiting the size of the tours. Please use this
sign up for each parent/guardian attending.  If you are unable to attend, we will send out a video during the summer.  Any questions should be directed to the Lurgio Main Office.
