LMHS Weekly Wednesday Update
February 10, 2021
Message From The Principal
Engaging students during Distance Learning has been a struggle. It is difficult to have rich discussions, allow for small group work and make connections with students. As a school we are working to address Engagement. Our teachers are working hard to find new strategies to connect with students and to find ways to get them to participate. One thing that we have noticed is that students who have their cameras on are more likely to participate in class discussions and are more focused. In the next few weeks we will be encouraging students to turn on their cameras to see if they are more engaged. Please encourage your student to be engage in their classes.
