LCHS Friday Focus

  Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week! As we close out April, we begin the last month of the school year. These last 19 days of school will go by fast. Just to review dates, the seniors last day of normal class is May 14, semester tests will be on the 17 and 18th. Grades will be due May 19 at 7:30 am. Graduation breakfast is at 9, with practice to follow at 10. The senior awards ceremony will also be on the 19th at 6:30 pm in the MS Auditorium. Just a reminder about he PLC workshop in August. Please respond to Mrs. Leavitt's email about attending. PLC's will be the focus for our PD activities again. You will learn about classroom data collection and using that data to drive your instruction, guide our PLC discussions, and help identify department level PD needed. I can't stress the importance of us being on the same page, so please try to attend the 2 day workshop.  This is your last call to turn your contracts into me. I will take them today, But on Monday and T...

Happy Friday! On Tuesday, I was discussing what was left for us to get done this year with Mrs. Hill, it hit me how close we are to the end of the year. I do believe this is one year all of us will be glad to close out. But as I look forward to the end of year, I reflect back on what we have accomplished. We are probably one of the few schools in Iowa that can say we had live instruction every day we had school. This is in large part due to your efforts to help enforce our social distance, mask rules, and just making sure that our students and ourselves are being safe. For a time there during first semester, it seemed like this time of year would never come. We have also pushed our students and provided a somewhat sense of normal. Minus a few of our mitigation efforts, we were able to educate the youth of Le Mars.  Just a couple of reminders,  you can put your signed contracts on the basket on my desk and I'll send them over to Central Office. They are due on May 4. Senior sem...

                  Happy Friday! Well we survived prom! Thank you to Mrs. Isebrand and Mrs. Ludwig for organizing the grand march and dance. Thank you to Mr. Wingert for streaming the event. And thank you to those that helped supervise. For the most part the kids did a decent job with keeping their masks on. I am sure the ones that give you trouble in the classroom with them were the same ones that we had to talk with at the dance.  Reminder you can put your signed contracts on the basket on my desk and I'll send them over to Central Office. They are due on May 4.  ISASP Info The writing test will be taken in advisory on Tuesday, May 4. This will be for grades 9-11 only, Seniors will have an open during the writing test.

All students will have an open lunch on Thursday and Friday.  On April 28, we will be giving the annual Conditions for Learning survey to the students. This is a requirement by the state. Please encourage the students to give honest feedback on the survey. We will be running a different schedule that day. We will want to make sure the students are aware that they need to pick up their computers before heading to 1st period. They will be considered late at 8:25.
