LCHS Friday Focus

Happy Friday! Next week is a short one so I am going to update for the next couple of weeks. Reminder our next building in-service is on November 24 at 7:00 am. You will meet in your department PLC groups. Please use the last protocol where you discussed your reading comprehension strategy with your department and mixed group PLCs. Tuesday is an early out day, so we will get out 1 hour early. Don't forget December 4 is the midterm date of 2nd quarter. Grades should be updated that morning by 8:30 so we can run midterms and get them sent out that day. All PASS Plans should be completed by this date also. If you have a student who you think may be at-risk please get this scheduled. I have had the question a couple of times about the parent not responding to the letter. If a parent hasn't called you, please give them a followup phone call to your letter to ensure the parent actually got the letter. The counselors will be going to classes to give their registration talk. We w...

Happy Friday the Thirteenth! I hope everyone has had an excellent week. Now that we have had parent/teacher conferences, I hope you will take the time to reach out to the parents that were unable to make it. Especially those of students who are risk. These are the parents that we really need to reach to help make a difference in their children's education. Don't forget about PASS Plans. We should have these completed by December 4. After December 4, it will be difficult for a us and the parent to help the student succeed. Midterm for 2nd quarter is December 4, we will send out midterms on that date. Our next building professional development meeting will be on November 24. This will be in your department PLC groups. It is important that we use this time to discuss the SMART goal you created on November 4 and what you have done to reach that SMART goal. In the next couple of weeks Nicki and Barry will be starting their classroom presentations for registration. We will be r...

Happy Friday! I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate and recognize our accomplishments this first quarter. We have no students who are on the 2nd quarter in-eligibility list, this means all of our students passed at least 4 full-time classes. In the Success Center, 36 of the 48 students assigned for assistance in reading comprehension have increased their scores. In addition we have had 5 students who have exited the Success Center and are back in their regular study hall. Several students have won honors or made All-State groups in various activities. The Student Council earned the honor council distinction. It has been a great start to the school year. Next week we have our last night of parent/teacher conferences. If you haven't seen an at-risk student's parent please call and personally invite them to come Monday night. This would be an excellent time to have a PASS Plan meeting. The more we communicate with the parents, the better chance we have of reaching the st...
