📚 Attendance Matters at LJHS!
Parents and Guardians,
At Lumberton Junior High School, we believe that every school day matters because every student matters! Regular attendance gives students the opportunity to stay connected to their teachers, keep up with classroom instruction, participate in school activities, and make academic progress.
We encourage families to make school attendance a priority and to communicate with the school whenever a student must be absent.

Smile, Vikings! 😁 Picture Day at Lumberton Jr. High School is October 19!
Come ready to show your Viking pride and capture a great school-year memory!
📸 Wear your best smile!
👕 Dress to impress!
⏰ Be on time and ready!
Mark your calendars and don’t miss it!
💙 Be Proud. Be Positive. Be a Viking. 💙
