The first semester was fantastic. We appreciate our students’ hard work and dedication. Thank you for helping them make school a priority and supporting their achievements. It takes a strong partnership between home and school to effectively support students. We appreciate your continued support and feedback as we move into the second half of this school season.
Our theme for this school year is: Some people want it to happen, Some people wish it would happen, Scouts make it happen. I can confirm that Scouts are making it happen in the classroom, on the stage, and in the athletic arena. There are many celebrations related to student behavior and attendance from the first semester:
76% of our students did not earn an office referral
87% had one office referral or less
33% of students did not have any tardies in the first semester
95% of students had less than 5 tardies in the first semester
Overall attendance improved from 92% last year to 93%
During the first semester the Scouts were successful athletically. Highlights include winning conference championships in boys and girls cross country and girls basketball. We also had great choir, band, and orchestra performances, an amazing art show, and fantastic community events such as Family Fitness Night. Our school has also been active in the community conducting a successful food drive and hat day fundraiser for Laramie Interfaith. Our Student Leadership Team and staff also supported families in need over Christmas.
We are looking forward to report cards going out on Wednesday. They will be mailed to families. Please take the time to review them with your student and celebrate. If there are areas for improvement, please develop a plan with your student for the second semester. We will be recognizing students for academic achievement and attendance at our first semester recognition night on the 30th. We can’t wait to celebrate our students who made the honor roll and those with perfect attendance.
We will continue to make it happen at LMS in the second semester. Students have started their new schedules and we are looking forward to a great second semester. We want to focus on improving attendance, making connections, and developing improved academic, artistic, social, and athletic skills this semester. Together we can, and will do great things between now and the end of the year. Make it a great second half!
