LCHS Friday Focus

  Friday Focus  Happy Friday!   I hope everyone had a great week. It is hard to believe this is the last Friday in April and we will be starting our last month of school next week. This time is going to go by fast.  Congrats to Mrs. Dunn for being named the Crystal Bell Teacher of the Year. She gave an outstanding speech on Wednesday night at the banquet.  I would like you to look at the PASS Plan spreadsheet to make sure you have turned in a PASS Plan to me. If it is not on there, then I don't have it documented it took place. A student can not fail a class if there was no PASS Plan.   The seniors are getting closer to graduation. I have several that are failing classes that are needed for graduation. I encourage you to call home and talk to the parents to let them know what their student needs to get done to pass your class. I am also communicating with parents, but I can't tell them what needs to be done to pass. Seniors final day of class is May 9. They...

     Friday Focus  Happy Friday!   I hope everyone had a great week. We have made it through prom, now the only major day to make it through is graduation. Since we don't have school next Friday, this will be the Friday Focus for the next 2 weeks. This week the 2025 and 2026 football schedules were finally released. Homecoming next school year will be September 26 and for the 26-27 school year it will be October 2. The dance will be September 27 from 9-midnight.  Next Thursday, the students will be dismissed at 1:30. We do have our 2nd to last inservice of the year. The CIA has a fun activity for you all to do to see all the great lessons you created from you learning this school year.  As we are getting 4th quarter going, remember April 14 is the midterm and the last day to have had PASS Plans. Any student at risk of failing your class will need to have a meeting and the form will need to be turned into me so I can document the meeting. You all have a...

    Friday Focus  Happy Friday!   I hope everyone had a great week. Just a reminder that I will need all classes to report to the competition gym on Friday at the start of 2nd period for our big announcment!  This week I had the opportunity to record my first podcast with Iowa Workforce Development. They came to Le Mars on Wednesday to record a segment on our EMT program and partnership with Le Mars Fire and Rescue. They took video of the class and the students practicing their skills. Three of our students, Mary Sullivan, Nolan Boehmer, and Sebastian MacGregor, were also interviewed for that segment. It was some nice publicity for a great program. Thank you for your work during inservice on Wednesday. I found it interesting looking at the AI posters we all created in November to see how far we have come in our learning on AI. I find that I am using it more and more to complete tasks where I may not have the exact word to write what I am thinking. Maybe this is...
