Lipscomb Academy Middle School

Hey There LAMS Fam!

We have made our way to the end of September and transitioned into fall!🍁 WOW! Now is a GREAT time to double check your Unit/Lesson Plans to ensure you are pointed in the right direction so that you can meet your quarterly goals. Consider your pacing and how remaining consistent will serve our children well. As we approach the end of the nine weeks be sure to:

1. REFLECT

2. RECOGNIZE

3. REINFORCE

4. REFINE

These points are part of the educational cycle of continuous improvement and will support you with elevating your professional practice. 

Thanks for ALL you do!

HANDBOOK

FROM THE DESK OF PHIL
Middle School folks,

This won't affect most of you but may be useful to know. Report cards for Middle School and High School have been updated in FACTS and some general cleaning has been done. The current report card names are:

2022MSReportCard - Middle School

For those of you that print report cards in Report Manager, they should show up as the default and only option for your school. If you ever print report cards from the student screens, they should be the default report for each grade level.

If you notice any problems, please let me know. Thanks!

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 .
