Young Audiences will be visiting the 8th grade credit art classes this week on Thursday, December 15 and Friday, December 16.   We are introducing the impact of music on the arts, in particular, jazz and its influence on African-American artist, Romare Bearden.  Students will listen to a variety of music and watch a professional artist draw while listening to music.  An exchange of question and answer dialog should occur, followed by the students creating their own 2D artworks while listening to the performer.  A saxophone musician will be performing this year.

School Status Update

Good morning parents of Lake Taylor Middle School students. Lake Taylor Middle School and Norfolk Public Schools are aware of a disturbing social media post circulating about Lake Taylor Middle School. We take any threat such as this seriously and are working closely with Norfolk PD as this matter is investigated.

 Parents are encouraged to speak to their children about the very serious nature of making threats as students found to have done this will be subject to appropriate disciplinary and legal actions.

Student safety is our primary concern and as such Lake Taylor Middle School is working closely with our school resource officer and Norfolk Police to investigate this incident. 

Welcome Ms. Evans, Parent Liaison

Seeking Community Input: Norfolk Public Schools Corrective Action Plan/Reconstitution Agreement for School Improvement

Recently, NPS completed work with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) on a new Corrective Action Plan/Reconstitution Agreement for School Improvement. This work captures Norfolk’s targeted steps in district turnaround based on student achievement outcomes for the city’s schools that fall under the state sanction of “Accreditation Denied” or “Partially Accredited: Reconstituted”. The plan may be found by clicking here.

For comments or suggestions, please contact the principals of the specific schools identified in the plan.
