Lightning Round: September 10

It's All About Respect At LMS!

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect At LMS!

We had a very exciting back to school this week. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Lakeside Staff participated in district and school based professional development. The district is focusing on improving security throughout all of the schools. We learned about the ALICE way of securing our school in the event of an intruder.

Our theme at LMS is "It's All About Respect." The staff professional development sessions at Lakeside focused on Respect. We reviewed the "First 3 Days" Power Point and learned from one of the District Professional Development Specialists Margaret Keefer. Mrs. Keefer did such a great job that the staff have already requested to have her come back to LMS. The staff also had a lot of time to prepare their classrooms for the opening of school.

The first two days of school went very well. Every staff member covered an extensive Power Point presentation that covered get to know you activities, as well as all of the policies and procedures. Students who attended LMS before have noticed how different the opening has been this year. According to one 8th grade student, she said, "I can see how all of the staff is on the same page. As students we know that the theme is all about respect. Everyone is taking about it."

This week we will finish the Power Point on Monday. As the week progresses, students will begin to learn about their specific subjects and they will begin taking notes, having homework and taking tests!
