Welcome to

Lynnhaven Middle School

2020-2021

Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year at Lynnhaven Middle School! My name is Tina Cerja and I am the gifted resource teacher (GRT). This year begins my 28 year as a middle school educator and my fourth year serving our Bluefish school community as GRT.

Gifted scholars at Lynnhaven Middle School are provided instruction via a differentiated curriculum that is responsive to the academic and social and emotional needs of the student utilizing the resource-cluster model. The resource-cluster model promotes optimum understanding of the needs of gifted scholars without creating an isolated learning environment. Gifted scholars interact with myself, cluster teachers, and classmates in a heterogeneous grouping while benefiting from the modification of content, process, product, and learning environment. The pace in these classes is rapid and scholars explore subjects in greater depth and with additional intensity. 

LHMS Gifted Bluefish are very active on social media to promote gifted awareness & communication between gifted scholars, parents, and staff. You can follow us on Twitter at @tinacerja_grt and @LMSGifted. Also follow us on our blog LMS Gifted Bluefish.

My office hours are on Mondays from 2:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. and my email address is tlcerja@vbschools.com. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.  Questions can also be answered by contacting Martha Palmer by email martha.palmer@vbschools.com  or call 757.263.6870.

Again, welcome to LMS and have a fantastic 2020-2021 school year!
