Week of September 17

It's another week of unique schedules as students complete the math portion of the fall WYTOPP test.  Our schedule will be Even, Odd, Even, Odd, All, this week.  This allows students to complete their math tests during their math class causing less disruption to their overall schedules. Students attend Scouts for Scouts (advisory) on all block days so they will attend four days this week. We will return to a more standard schedule next week with only two block days.

I say or more standard schedule next week as students will not have school on Monday, September 24th due to professional development.  All LMS staff will be participating in nonviolent crisis intervention training on the 24th.  This training sounds more intense than it actually is.  We will be developing deescalation skills to help students who are becoming agitated, acting out, or struggling emotionally deescalate and return to learning in a way that minimizes disruptions, increases safety for students and staff, and maintains the respect and dignity of all involved.  This training is part of a District-wide effort so staff at other schools will be engaging in similar training on the 24th as well.

The week of October 1st is homecoming week.  We will engage in a series of dress up days an other activities to build school spirit.  Our activities will culminate with the LHS football game on Friday, October 5th.  Homecoming is another opportunity to build community and celebrate a positive school culture.  We will share more information about homecoming and spirit week as the date gets closer.
