Lipscomb Academy Middle Shool

Hey LAMS Fam!

We don't have "anything" on the schedule this week! We have a normal week! Use this time as an opportunity to dig in and refine your content standards. While planning remember to asks yourself, "How do I know every single student mastered the learning objective?"

Thank you for providing AMAZING experiences to the students of LA!

~Crystal💜

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”~Romans 15:13

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

FROM THE DESK OF DREW MCCONNELL
Have you ever wanted to learn how to use the tools in iWonder? Now is your chance! In addition to Canva, we have created more Level Up resources to help you learn 3D printing and laser cutting. You'll learn how to design everything from a 3D printed phone holder to your own name tag (I know you've always wanted one of those super cool wood-burned iWonder name tags). Complete the levels at your own pace, learn new skills, and earn PD hours!

Let Drew, Kristi, or Donna know if you're interested and we'll add you to the Level Up Schoology course. 

KEEPING YOU IN THE LOOP

Your Team Leader should have discussed the revised Anticipated Absence Form. Please ask them about it. 


GOT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO GROW PROFESSIONALLY?

"How To Work Literacy Content Into all Instructional Areas"

SHOUT OUT TO TEACHERS for PARENT COMMUNICATION!🙌

THANK YOU to everyone for elevating their parent communication all around!

1.Try to work with the child first (model appropriate communication)

2. If you email a parent and a situation has not been resolved, schedule a face to face meeting. Tone and intent can be misunderstood if we only use email. 

3. NOTHING beats a face to face "real time" exchange of thoughts and ideas. 

KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK!

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 .
