LIPSCOMB ACADEMY MIDDLE SCHOOL

Hey LAMS Fam!

We are focussed on "the light" which is also known as Thanksgiving Break.🦃 Keep in mind that it is imperative that we stay focussed and keep expectations high for students. Also, be sure to hold them accountable. We are setting the tone for the remainder of the school year. 

Thank you for ALL that you have done and continue to do for our LAMS students and families! You are the very best faculty and staff around!

~Crystal💜

WELCOME TO LIPSCOMB ACADEMY!

As many of you have seen, heard or read, LAMS has a new PE teacher! Parker Hazan has stepped in for Andrew Greer as the new PE teacher! Coach Greer is our new LAMS Athletic Director! Parker comes to us from our University family next door. He graduated in May and has been eager to begin his teaching career. Parker will also be helping us with basketball. When you see him (he is very hard to miss😂), please welcome him and make him feel at home. 

CHIT CHAT WITH CRYSTAL
As we are midway through the semester, I would like to take an opportunity to meet with everyone individually. I know we have all met individually at some point for one thing or another, but I would like to dedicate undivided time and attention to each one of you as an engaged listener before the end of the semester. Please send me a calendar invite.😊

LOWER SCHOOL THANKSGIVING DAY LUNCH
If you would like to attend the Thanksgiving Day luncheon (with your child) scheduled for Thursday, November 17th, please let Lisa know. It would be extremely helpful if you would line up your coverage. 

WEEKLY COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER LINK

Send community announcements to Gavin by Thursday so that he can put it in the weekly newsletter to parents.

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 .
