Literacy Coach Corner - 5 Questions to Ask about a Writing Assignment
If your student has been assigned a writing task and you want to help guide them through it, here are 5 questions to ask related to the writing process. If they did not complete one of the steps or are unclear about what to do, encourage your student to talk to their teacher.
Did you brainstorm or plan your writing? Do you need help coming up with ideas?
How did you organize your writing? Did you use any kind of outline or organizer?
Did you complete a rough draft?
What parts of the paper are you having the most difficult time fixing? What questions would you have for someone editing it?
Who is the audience for the paper? Is it the classroom teacher, or is it being presented to someone else?
Fast Food Policy
Reminder- LHS strongly encourage students to either bring a lunch to school or to purchase one from our cafeteria. We prefer parents not bring lunches to students during the school day. Also, it is not appropriate to have a birthday celebration during the school day. Group pizza, balloons, cakes, for example, should be provided to celebrate or recognize a student after the school day. Our office is a very busy place and is simply not staffed to accommodate parents routinely requesting deliveries to students. If you choose to bring food to your student during one lunch there is a possibility that it will not be delivered.

Lock Up Your Opioids
A student of our school's Global and International Studies Academy is currently running a campaign called Lock Up Your Opioids. It aims to raise awareness about the issue of drug diversion in St. Mary’s County, with a focus on prescription drugs and opioids. The campaign’s goal is to spur simple, effective action to combat the issue by collecting pledges to properly secure medication.
Help the campaign reach its goal of 1,000 or more pledges by March 24th!
