Learning in a dedicated space
The research on how to learn best and work remotely indicates that a dedicated space helps the brain function better. This week Lawrence was proud to begin our "borrow" a desk program for learners to have a dedicated study space at home.
Equipment and PPE
This summer the Board of Education (BOE) has approved numerous purchases to provide increased technology and personal protective equipment to allow us to be as prepared as possible for the reopening of schools. The support of the BOE is evident in these decisions.
Opening packets mailed Monday
Class assignments, google classroom, and remote/hybrid lunch procedures are in school opening packets being mailed this week. Daily health screening details via a new app for hybrid students will also be in your packets. Please expect packets via regular mail arriving at your homes late next week.
Independent Coach and Seth Transportation
The district has entered into a contract with two bus companies, Independent and Seth. Bus passes for families that require them will be mailed in a separate mailing from the school packets. Thank you in advancefor your patience during the start-up of transportation.
Mask stamina
Proper face covering is required in a school building and/or school bus. The expectation to wear a mask, properly, will be reinforced in school and on the bus. Two Lawrence masks are being mailed to both hybrid and full remote learners. Anyone who does not wear a mask will be unable to attend in-person instruction and/or ride the bus.
Culturally Responsiveness
The NY State Education Department's framework for culturally responsive education will be one of the District's many focuses of Lawrence's upcoming staff development.
Lawrence leads the way
Last year the District was awarded a second My Brother’s Keeper grant written by William Moss, Director of Academic Affairs. Lawrence was the only Long Island district to be awarded this exemplary practice grant. Continued training for all staff is funded by the grant.
