Lenox Parent Survey: Educational Equity
At Lenox, we are a diverse community committed to the success of every student in our school by striving for educational equity. We are committed to equity by recognizing and eliminating institutional barriers and creating access and opportunities that benefit each student. We understand that we have areas of improvement on our path to achieving educational equity. I value and appreciate any input you can give us on the survey topics and questions. This information will help guide me in decision making and opportunities for improvement. All questions are optional, so please answer what you are comfortable with. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Gina McLain

LIPI (Limited In-Person Instruction) at Lenox
As an initial step on the path to returning students to in-person learning, HSD has launched some limited in-person instruction (LIPI) opportunities. LIPI is detailed in the Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance as an allowable supplementary activity during Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL). It allows small groups of students who have been identified at the school level based on data and targeted needs to receive individualized support for academics, social-emotional needs, internet connectivity, and so on. LIPI does not take the place of core instruction, it happens in addition to core instruction.
At Lenox, we are preparing to target a very small group of first grade students for LIPI supplemental instruction two days per week. These students are being selected on the basis of assessment data, class participation in CDL, teacher recommendation and attendance. If your child is selected to be invited to attend LIPI, Mrs. McLain will personally reach out to you with that invite. Selection of students for LIPI is not based on requests from families. We use very specific criteria for deciding upon LIPI participants. We hope to expand the program gradually as we move to a hybrid model when we will no longer need to offer this supplemental instruction.
Semester 2 Google Classroom
Google Classrooms feel cluttered with assignment posts and scores, making it difficult for students and staff to navigate.
Over time, Google Classroom will also begin to load slowly if it is overburdened with content. A fresh class will keep it running more smoothly!
