Friday Focus

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. Please don't forget to grab lunch in the lounge today. This is just a small token of appreciation for all that you do. 

It is hard to believe it is May 9 already and we only have 7 days of regular classes left. Mrs. Leavitt will be sending information out regarding summer professional development. We will post our QR codes on the office window like last summer. You will have 15 hours again to learn about something that interests you and is applicable to your position. 

Today is the last day for our Seniors. If they are not taking your semester test, please sign their checkout sheets today. Seniors will need to turn in their Chromebook to the library. Cody and/or Tracy will be in there to collect the computers. Seniors will take their semester tests on Monday and Tuesday. They need to have all the tests done by the end of 5th on Tuesday. Senior final grades are due at 8:00 am on Wednesday, May 14.

I have been asked about the semester tests for other the other grades. Students will need to remain in the classroom the entire testing time. They can not leave early to go to another room or to leave the building. A student may move a test if it benefits you, otherwise they need to take it when they are scheduled. Remember, they can't leave another class early to come to your room to take a test. We don't want them to hurry through a test to get to another one. Final grades will be due before you check out on the 27th.

Assistant Principal's Happenings

Congratulations to our Alternative School graduates.  Kellie Bork and Michelle Berkenpas put on a nice ceremony Wednesday evening, highlighted by a terrific speech by Mr. Bahr -- it is like Mr. Bahr used to write speeches for a living or something.....

The Alt School ceremony is always a good reminder of the struggles some of our students face on a daily basis, and that graduation from high school is a major accomplishment for some.  Thank you for continuing to care about and work with our kids at LCHS -- even when they test us.

Thank you to SSFC for putting on the Underground Spirit Week and for everyone that participated -- it has brought smiles to a lot of staff and students this week.

Thank you to Mrs. Cunningham, Mr. Bahr, and the StuCo for taking care of us all so well this week.

  Friday Focus  Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week.  On Monday, I attended a DCAP workshop. You may be asking what is a DCAP workshop? DCAP is our District Career Academic Plan. Just like the student ICAP, Individual Career Academic Plan, the district must have one also. In the DCAP, we spell out what we are doing to prepare our students for college career readiness and employability skills. The DCAP consists of 7 sections, the main sections deal with course planning, work-based learning, and 5 essential components of ICAP.  The course planning section deals with the students 4 year plan and how the students and parents are advised on progress towards graduation. This is why we have the grade level registration meetings, our 8th grade CTE day, 8th grade parent meeting, etc so we can meet this requirement.  I am sure by this point, you are asking yourself how does this apply to me? This gets us into the next few sections with what we do in class matte...

  Friday Focus Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. We made it through graduation breakfast, practice, and award night. I was thinking that Wednesday is just as about as busy of a day as the Friday of homecoming for me.  This will be the last Friday Focus for the school year, so I'll try to remember to have everything you need to know to get through the last week of classes. Please remember contracts are due to Central Office on the 23rd. I do have a basket on my desk where you can turn it into me and I'll get it to Central Office.   We will be running the advisory schedule on Monday. On Tuesday, we will use the last day of school schedule. On the last day of classes students will be checking out. Please sign their check out sheets. If they have school property that needs to be returned, please document it on the sheet. During advisory that day, they will turn in their laptops. Please look at each laptop and make them turn it on for you. If there is any da...
