Lyman Elementary
April 2022
A Note From Mr. McPhee
Dear Lyman Parents and Guardians,
Spring is here at Lyman Elementary and the school year is moving fast. As I think back to September, I'm excited about the progress that I have seen with our students’ academic, social and emotional growth. Our teachers work hard every day to develop our students for the next grade level and beyond and I am proud to work together with them to help every student reach achieve success.
Looking ahead, the Washington State assessments (SBAC) in English, math and science will start up after spring break. We will complete all of the state assessments by the end of May. Please make sure that your child gets plenty of sleep and a healthy breakfast each day so they can be ready for these assessments and classroom learning. These state tests measure each student's progress towards mastery of the Washington State learning standards. They are rigorous and thoughtful assessments that challenge students to show their best thinking, writing, reading, math and problem solving skills.
During the third week of April our sixth-graders will head to Camp Orkila on Orcas Island for the annual four-day camp experience. This is the first time that all sixth-graders in the district will be together as an entire class. Students participate in workshops about the environment, marine biology, problem solving and team building activities. This is an exciting camp experience for all our students and one they will remember for the rest of their lives.
April 25th through April 29th is administrative professional’s week. I want to thank our administrative secretary, Kristi Johnson, for all her hard work at Lyman. Kristi is critical in keeping everything in our school working efficiently. She works every day to make Lyman a great school. Please stop by the office and thank Kristi for all of her efforts.
The Lyman Parent Group is working hard on the next fundraisers. Please come out to the next parent group meeting on April,12 at 6:00pm in the school library. Be part of a hard working team that is making our school greater every year!
It takes a great community to make a great school. Thank you for all you do to support Lyman Elementary and our students.
My best to all of you,
Scott A. McPhee
Principal
