Central Middle School

LHS and CMS families: Our buildings are currently without power. PSO is actively working to restore power. We will let you know when it is back up. Thank you.

CMS Families, We will be collecting library books this week in the CMS library. Please help your student remember to return their books. Thank you!

Don't forget that this Thursday is 8th grade promotion! There will be a live stream link shared that morning for those who cannot attend.

Not able to make it to the CMS 8th grade promotion? No worries! We will be sharing a link to the Live Stream of 8th grade promotion on the morning of May, 19th. Be sure to give friends and family a heads up!

UPDATE: (12:13 pm) We have received the ALL-CLEAR from law enforcement officials. Law enforcement officials have thoroughly searched the building and determined it is safe for us to return to classrooms and continue the school day as normal. Students who were not picked up are currently eating lunch and will return to CMS after. We will continue normal operations for the remainder of the school day. We want to thank our law enforcement partners and first responders that helped in today’s incident. Safety is always our greatest priority, and we want to thank all students, staff and parents for their cooperation. Law enforcement will continue to investigate this incident to determine who was responsible for the threat. We ask all LPS families to please remind students that threats — even those intended to be a joke or a hoax — are serious in nature and can result in significant legal and disciplinary consequences. We appreciate your support of Lawton Public Schools.

UPDATE: (10:47 am) The situation is still under investigation and students are still safe with staff. But if you would like to pick up your child you may do so. Please bring your ID card to the Lawton High School main gym. Enter through the south entrance, off of Ferris Ave. Utilize the parking lot to pick up your student, please do not block traffic. For those who remain, students will be fed lunch. We will continue normal operations when we receive the all clear.

UPDATE (10:22 am) CMS Family: We are working with law enforcement regarding a phone call made of a bomb threat. Students are w/staffing & have evacuated. For the safety of all, please do not come up to the building. We will update as soon as possible.
