LCHS Friday Focus

                    Happy Friday! We made it through ISASP and now just one more day and we will have made it through Prom. With no school next Friday, the next Friday Focus will be on April 14.  As we exit March and enter April, the number of school days is quickly winding down. Counting today, the seniors have 28 classroom days left. They will have their semester tests on May 15 & 16. For all the early planners, Seniors will need to have all tests done by the end of 4th period on the 16th. Grades will be due by 3:30 pm on the 16th so Amy can run the final awards for Wednesday night. Senior awards are at 6:30 pm on the 17th in the MS auditorium.  There are several seniors I am keeping an eye on as they are failing a class needed to meet graduation requirements. Please make sure you are keeping Senior parents updated if their student is failing a class. A quick email home could be enough of a spark to get the student t...

                   Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. Next week is ISASP week. Please reinforce with students to do their best. We are evaluating an proposal that would give opens to Juniors who are proficient on ISASP their Freshmen and Sophomore year and meet a certain GPA requirement. You can let the students know that the administration is looking into this as a way to help motivate students.  Just a reminder during ISASP, please keep students in the classroom. If you hear noises in the hallway, please stick your head out of your room and get the students moving to where they should be. The reading and math subtests will be on Monday and Tuesday and the writing and science subtest will be on Wednesday and Thursday.  I have met with a number of seniors who were failing classes at the quarter. If you have a senior that is failing a class, especially a core class please keep on them to get their grade up....

                  Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. I will not be here next Friday, so I am going to have this be the Friday Focus for the next 2 weeks. Tanner has his state swim meet in Fremont, Nebraska. He will be swimming 9 events in 3 days. One final reminder that requisitions are due on Monday. Please make sure that you have included shipping on your requisition as that will also need to come out of your line item. The end of the quarter is on the 15th, grades will be due Friday morning at 8:00 am. Amy will run report cards that day. Mr. Formanek will also come out with the ineligible list that day. In order to remain eligible, students need to pass 4 full time classes. If a student is ineligible, he/she will sit the 4th quarter per our policy. I have been asked about snow make up days, the board will discuss this matter at the Monday board meeting. I want to remind you that it is not appropriate for yo...

                Happy Friday! It is hard to believe we are already in March. I am scheduling number meetings for 2023-2024 school year. I have a few today and rest next week. Hopefully I will be able to get a master schedule done by the end of the month. We have hired a new English teacher, Victor Mena. He will be joining us from Akron-Westfield.
