LCHS Friday Focus

  Friday Focus  Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week and enjoyed the warmer weather. Hard to beleive how cold we were just a week ago. I will be out of the building again today. I made the drive back to Iowa City so Tanner could swim in the Iowa Senior Short Course Championships. This will be a fun 3 days of swimming.  I will be starting to schedule department meetings next week to go over course numbers for next year. Please also remember that requistions are due on March 17. If you are ordering any type of "office supplies", those will need to be sent to Amy so we can do one large order.  We are doing driver's education different this year. They will be starting class on Saturday and will meet every Saturday except for Apirl 5 and April 19. This gets all the classwork done prior to school being dismissed.  Just a reminder we will run the assembly schedule on March 7th. Advisory on March 3 will consist of class meetings.  Freshman - Library, ...

       Friday Focus  Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week. Looks like warmer temperatures ahead, so that is good news.  The counselors are making good progress with getting the student registered for next school year. At the time of this writing we only have 60 student left to register. Once we have that down to a handful of students I'll start scheduling department meetings to go over numbers.  I am happy to announce we have hired a new math teacher for next year, Jaclyn Enger will be joining us. She has previous teaching experience at Sioux City East. Recently she has been subbing in the MOC and Sioux Center districts when she is not staying home with her children.  Just a reminder about getting requisitions turned in for the  25-26 school year. Remember that you must follow the process outline in the attachment I emailed out on Feb. 6. If you purchase something with you own money without prior approval, the district will not ...

     Friday Focus  Happy Valentines Day or as the legendary Mr. Martin referred to it as Happy S ingles Awareness Day. For those who didn't know Doug, you missed out on some great quotes.  I will be out of the building today as I head to Iowa City for the State Swim Meet to cheer on Tanner and teammates. I hope you enjoy the 3 day weekend.  The requisition process has started for the 25-26 school year. Remember that you must follow the process outline in the attachement I emailed out on Feb. 6. If you purchase something with you own money without prior approval, the district will not be able to reimburse you. The attachment shows a March 24 deadline, but I will need you to do these earlier as that is my deadline to approve them to send to Central Office. Please have your requisitions done no later than March 17. We are also deep into the registration process. The goal is to have all the students registered by the end of the month. Once that is done, I'll st...
