LCHS Friday Focus

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great three day weekend and you were able to enjoy the nice weather. It is hard to believe that this is the last Friday in February.  I have scheduled meetings with each group next week to go over numbers for next school year. You also will need to get your requisitions in for next school year by March 13. When filling out the online requisitions, please make sure you use all caps. This makes it easier for Kim when she has to order. If you need to attach a quote with a requisition, please email the quote to me with the requisition number in the email so it can be matched up. The requisition number will be something like RQ0000.  Looking ahead, I won't be able to approve any more leaves for March 3. We have 7 people that will be gone that day.  I have been asked about our local assessments and when we will be giving them this year. I will sit down with those who are impacted by this soon and try to find a date in late April, earl...

Happy Friday! This edition of the Friday Focus will take care of next Friday as I will be out of town. Midterm will be on Tuesday. Grades should be current by 8:30 that morning. The end of the quarter will remain on March 21 since we don't have any quarter classes.  At your next department meeting take the time to review your norms. Make sure you are holding each other accountable to what your department has agreed to. If your department is struggling with the norms, please let Mr. Utesch and myself know and we would be happy to assist. Next Wednesday is a district in-service day and February 22 will be a building extra hour meeting. As I have made it around to a several of your classrooms in the last couple of weeks, I want to remind you of the APL training you have all had. I have not been seeing clear learning objectives on the board for the students. Remember this is a research proven practice that helps bring clarity to the lesson and lets the students know the purpose o...

Happy Friday! It is hard to believe we are already in February. We are getting closer to having numbers for courses for next year and should have these meetings soon. We have about 30 kids yet to register.  Midterm will be on 2/14 with grades due at 8:30 am. Please put your comments under Q3 so they will run on midterms. After midterms would be a good time to start looking at PASS Plans. I know last semester we had a lot packed into a short amount of time. As we get closer to the end of the school year, we seem to get busier. We have several groups that have or will be participating in state events. Thank you for having patience with our students and please continue to work with them as they may miss class. Without your cooperation, and the work of our students and fellow staff members, these opportunities for our kids would not be possible.  I will be coming around to get summer maintenance request. These requests should be for things that can't be repaired right now....
