Lipscomb Academy Middle School

Hey there LAMS Fam! 

As we are going over the hump of our first full week of school, I pray that you are building stamina and that you are joyful and excited about the opportunity to pour into your students this year! 

We have a wonderful group of students. They are inquisitive, eager and kind. I am excited about all the plans you have for your students and I am thrilled about the plans that we, as a school, have for our students as well. They are so happy to be here and they want to please you so I know we are going to have an AMAZING year (Attitude is half the battle!)!

Remember; manage your circle of influence. Do not waste time or energy worrying about things that are out of your control. If we focus on the positive and be solution oriented we will have a phenomenal year! 

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

FROM MARYGRACE (CORE)
Strengthen your CORE:
Thank y'all so much for leaning in to CORE this year. Want to emphasize as much as I can that what you guys are doing will have a lasting impact even if it feels insignificant now. These kids are not only learning academics from you but also life skills that they will take with them into college, marriage, jobs, parenting etc. I will continue to check in with you guys and try my best to fill y'all's cup.

Hey  LAMS Fam ! Thank you so much for a wonderful beginning of a brand new year! I would like to encourage you to dig in and hit the ground running! Students benefit from consistent educational experiences so continue "teaching hard" everyday! Remember to ask deeper questions of your students. Students need varying questions so it is perfectly OKAY to plan who gets specific questions. Be laser focussed and target your instruction so that students leave knowing more. Let's give them our very BEST every day! ~Crystal💜 "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."~Colossians 3:17 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (1/17-1/20) Traffic Greeter- Merritt Awning Supervision- Cain FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (1/23-1/27) Traffic Greeter- Reily Awning Supervision- Reily NIET EVALUATION CYCLE  Second semester classroom observations/walkthro

Hey  LAMS Fam ! We are back to the MIDDLE of the week and off to a great last quarter! Keep in mind, this is not the time to slow down or let up. We need to be consistent with effective teaching strategies in order to see desired outcomes. Consider the information presented during our NIET training. Remember; different students can process the same information differently. How will we provide support for those who need it? Thank you for ALL you do! ~Crystal💜 “What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you--guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us."  ~2 Timothy 1:13-14 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (3/20-24) Traffic Greeter- SHORT Awning Supervision- NIKOLAUS FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (3/27-31) Traffic Greeter- BURRIS Awning Supervision- NIKOLAUS NIET CERTIFICATE FROM 3/1 Print your certificate  here .
