LCHS Friday Focus

Happy Friday! We will be entering our last week of the school year on Monday. I always get asked about underclassmen and semester tests. If a student needs to take a semester test, they need to take it at their assigned time. However, if it benefits you in getting grades done, then the student may take it with you earlier, but the student must remain with you the entire testing period. They can not go early. If a student will be gone those days, he/she will need an advance make up so they can be taken in advance of being gone.  I am happy to say we have hired a new Assistant Principal. His name is Kyle Formanek and he will be joining us from Gladbrook Reinbeck. He started his teaching career in 2012 as as social studies teacher and in 2017 moved into the technology coordinator/integrationist role.   We have also hired a new science teacher, Sarah Wonders. She is joining us from Dakota Valley High School in South Dakota. She will be teaching biology. With semester te...

Happy Friday! A big THANK YOU for all that you do for our students! As we wrap up another week and get closer to our summer break. I want to thank you all for all your hard work. It is not always easy, sometimes we seem to want it more than the students. I have been busy talking with 12 seniors who are at risk of not graduating. When I look at the big picture, many of these students have never really experienced success, and all of them have some type of personal issue they are struggling with. Some of these students may be scared to graduate, because they don't know what is next. I try to reflect on what we could or should do differently to help these lost students. I do feel bad for this kids and think life for them should not be like this at this young of an age. Most of us were lucky growing up having stable homes and parents that pushed us. For many of us, school came easy and we were good at playing the game. For these kids, school has not come easy. As we come to the end ...

Happy Friday! We are down to just 6 more class days with Seniors. Just a reminder Seniors last day of class is May 13. They will take semester tests in the library on May 14 and 15. Seniors were told they needed to take them on the 14th if they have 4 or fewer tests. They may use the 15th if they have to take more than 4 tests. Tests need to be done at the end of 4th period on Wednesday and grades updated ASAP so Amy can run the final awards for Seniors. The awards program will be on May 15 at 6:30 pm. If you want your Senior students to take the tests in the library I need you to bring me the test with the students name, period, and class written on the top. If you are giving a computer exam, please send me a list of names and test so I can give that to the teachers covering tests for us. If you are giving the Senior exam in your room, I don't need anything from you at this time. Thank you to those teachers helping with tests. If you need the Senior test schedule emailed to you ...
