Principal Lavallee's Edu Blog Learning in and Through the Arts

Greetings

I am pleased to begin communicating to you weekly from this Blog as it seems that more and more parents are using it as a way to learn about what is happening at the school.

This past Thursday, report cards were sent home with the students.  Please ask your youngster for his/her report card.  If it has been lost, you can obtain an additional copy by contacting the guidance office at the school.

Though our “alert now” system of Friday we sent out the following message:

Dear Parents,

 This is a reminder that the school building is open for students and the public beginning at 7:30 every morning school is in session.  Parent and care givers should not have their student arrive to school earlier than 7:30am as there is no security or supervision for students prior to this time.

 We truly appreciate your helping us with this matter by ensuring that your youngster arrives to school between 7:30and 7:45 am each morning.

I had the privilege of attending the Tri M Music Honor Society Induction Ceremony on Friday evening.  Our new inductees and our returning members were in attendance along with their parents and families.  Thank you to Mr. Cote, Mr. Renner, Mrs. Boates and Mrs. Shaker for giving up your Friday evening for our music students.  It was a wonderful evening and I received several positive comments from parents. 

 Thank you also to Mrs. Guyette and Mrs. Medina as they were returning from a science field trip as part of the “Captivating Kids” program around 8:15 on Friday night. 

 We are very fortunate to have so many dedicated staff willing to give of their time to help our Lincoln youngsters.  Bravo!!!

The newly formed LMS School Governance Council has been meeting since November.  The initial meetings have been to organize and set goals for the long term operation of the council.  At the most recent meeting officers for the executive committee were selected; Chair – Joseph Galotti, Vice Chair (Facilitator) – Tom Moore, Recording Secretary – Robin Wolk, Corresponding Secretary – Evelyn Robles-Rivas, Time keeper – Trisha Bleicich. 

The School Governance Council is comprised of seven parents of current LMS students, five faculty members currently employed at LMS, two community members and the principal.   The purpose of the council is to act in an advisory capacity to the school’s administration.  It provides an opportunity for stakeholders in the school to craft a productive collaboration to support student success. The intent of the council is to enable parents, school staff and community leaders to work together to improve student achievement at our school.
