The Eagle's Press
Week of Jan 13
Dear LMSA Eagles, As we embark on this end of semester one, let's continue to work together to cultivate a strong school culture where every student feels empowered to reach their full potential. As I shared during the ALSC meeting and whole-school town hall, we have very specific goals that we will accomplish if we keep our goals in view. Our focus must be on three key areas - attendance, academic achievement, and pro-social behaviors.
Consistent attendance is crucial for academic success. Let's work together to ensure that all students are present and engaged in learning every day. More specifically, we want to attain at least 92% individual and school-wide attendance EACH week and EACH month for rest of the school year. We believe in challenging our students and providing them with the tools and support they need to excel academically. Students must make the most of their time in class and flexes as a means to ensure that they achieve optimal outcomes in their courses. Last but not least, we encourage all members of our school community to demonstrate kindness, empathy, and responsible behavior.
Across our campus and in every classroom, we will work together as a team to achieve common goals. We understand that learning can sometimes be challenging. We are committed to continually providing a supportive and understanding environment where all Eagles (staff, students, and parents) feel valued and respected. Together, let's continue to cultivate a school community where every student feels included, engaged, and empowered to make a positive impact on the world.
Sincerely, Principal Banks
