LCHS Friday Focus

Happy Friday! As I am writing this I am reflecting back on the last couple of weeks. I know many of you are busy creating enrichments for our students and our college classes have started up again online. If you have any questions regarding your classes or what you can be doing at this time don't hesitate to ask. I want to clarify one question, " Can you give students make up work from 3rd quarter?" This is not new learning and the student is doing work that has already been assigned. This can be graded and entered into your gradebook. This is very important for seniors as we don't know if we will be back on April 13. I am going forward with the plan that we will come back on that day, but I am making preparations for if we don't. I do not know what will happen with credits or how we will figure semester grades. So far, the state is asking us to err on the side of the student in awarding credit.

Happy Friday! Thank you for all the feedback on our inservice on Wednesday. The April inservice will be a work day so you can have time to work on enrichments and interventions. Our May inservice will be looking at our ISASP data and then wrapping up our professional development for the school year. The expectations for the rest of the year in regards to enrichments and interventions is that they will take place in at least one prep. Ideally we want you to start moving these into all your preps, but that won't be the expectation until next school year. During Advisory in the next couple of weeks, please take the time to have the students take the practice test on the ISASP. They can be found here . It would also be good to test the app installed on the computer to make sure it works. I don't believe the students actually use the app for the practice tests. With the increase of organizations cancelling events, please be flexible as plans for different activities could chan...

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. We do have our in-service meeting on Wednesday. The CIA group has quite the plan in place for you after I cover the ISASP and our Iowa School Performance Profile. Please make sure you bring your data and what you did for interventions or enrichments.  As we begin our spring activity seasons, schedules will need to be flexible as there are so many activities dependent on the weather. Hopefully this weekend will see lanes painted on our track to get ready for our first home meet on March 31.  We ended a rather successful winter season for multiple activities. Both the boy and girl basketball teams made it to the substate final and came within a game of qualifying for state. The boy and girl bowling teams made a return visit to the state meet. We qualified 5 wrestlers to the state meet with 2 wrestlers placing. Robotics made a trip to the state competition. Jazz Band qualified for Iowa Jazz Championships later in April. L...
