A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Eagles,


We hope that this newsletter finds you well. I want to take this opportunity to highlight our first Core Value, Respect. We have defined Respect as “We value one another’s safety and dignity. We treat others with kindness and empathy.”

We have been able to see our Eagles already displaying this in many ways so far: using appropriate language, saying “please” and “thank you”, helping clean up litter during break and lunch, getting to class on time, etc. While these may seem like simple things, especially for a high school, they are incredibly impactful in making our campus feel safer and more welcoming for everyone. We are proud of these efforts and have been encouraging additional positive behaviors through our Eagle Expectations Awards Cards that are handed out by staff when we see a student exhibiting our Core Values and Eagle Expectations. Students can then turn in their card to our ASB room for a treat. It’s a token of our appreciation for their positive behavior and contribution to making our campus a better place.

We will continue working throughout the year to find ways to recognize our Eagles through positive means. Please encourage your student to keep up the good work!

Go Eagles!

Mr. Neff

The Teenager of the Month will be recognized at an Elk’s dinner and will then be eligible for selection of "Teenager of the Year". Monthly for the 22'23 School Year - Completed application should be submitted to Brianna.boyd@lmusd.org. Students only need to apply once. If your application is not chosen in a given month, it will be considered for the following month. The sooner you turn in an application, the more opportunities you will have for selection.
