Mission Maximize!
LVJHS Weekly Bulletin 3/21/2016
Dear LVJHS Family,
Greetings! Hopefully, your Spring Break was filled with family fun and rest! Before we left for Spring Break, our students participated in a dodge-ball tournament. A special thank you to Mrs. Hubert and the attendance committee for putting together our attendance celebration. This was a fun way to end our week, and students and staff alike had a great time. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of school business we lose track of how important it is to take time and enjoy our school family.
In five instructional days, our seventh and eighth grade students will take STAAR Tests. This is the time to make students feel empowered, secure, and confident. Ralph Waldo Emerson stated: "Self-trust is the first secret of success." Research has proven Emerson's words time and time again. I believe in our staff, and know great success is in our future, due to your diligence. In the days ahead, do what is in your power to make sure our students believe in themselves.
Thank you all for making LVJHS a great place for students!
Anthony Kosub
Principal
La Vernia Junior High School

Staff Spotlight: Tammy Nehbut!
We are proud to announce Mrs. Nebhut as our spotlight staff member for the week! Mrs. Nebhut brings so much professionalism and knowledge to our campus! She is a true team player is and always willing to help others out in time of need or support. One of Mrs. Nebhut’s greatest strengths is her classroom management. She does an amazing job balancing the ongoing demands of a 7th grade classroom. Through her instructional balance, she also makes time to work individually with her students to ensure that they thoroughly understand the expectations of any and all tasks given. Great job always motivating and encouraging your students! Congratulations Mrs. Nebhut!
Fundamental Five Focus...
Critical Writing is a valuable and necessary tool in determining student comprehension levels; however, research shows this Fundamental Five practice is lacking in most classrooms. “For students, critical writing creates meaning, solidifies connections, transforms subconscious ideas into conscious thoughts, and is essential for authentic literacy” (Cain & Laird, 2011). Make sure to put two Critical Writing Activities in to each lesson you create!
