Welcome to A. Mario Loiederman Middle School, home of the lions.
When we opened our doors in September, 2005, we established the only
whole-school, arts-focused magnet program in Montgomery County.
Enjoy a digital review of our instructional program, activities
and samples of student work. We are certain you will agree that
we are doing great things with, for and because of our
students.

Edline has changed the link provided in the email notification that parents/students receive when a private report (Current Assignments Report) has changed. The link now takes the parent/student to the main page for the school. Some parents/students are now confused about how to see the reports. Parents must first select which student, then select private reports - this is usually on the left side of the screen, but the exact location and heading where these links are found depends on the school.
