What a great week at LMS! I was able to visit several classrooms this week and even in that brief moment it's great to see the exciting work happening on our campus. Never lose sight of the fact that the teaching and learning are central to everything we do in schools. Yes, there is paperwork and there are deadlines to meet and those are an important part of being a professional educator but without the teaching and learning we are missing the boat. Keep up the great work in that area.
Next Tuesday is PSAT for eighth graders. Please be prepared to assist Mrs. Weiser in carrying out this wonderful opportunity for our students.
Don't let grades sneak up on you. The end of the 9 weeks is March 9 (a week from Friday!). If you haven't updated your gradebooks in over a week please get that accomplished early next week. I will check to see that we are on point with that Monday.
There's been a lot of talk about budgeting and money given that local businesses are closing. I have been meeting with Dr. Knowlton about the budget. There will be some tightening of the budget but it will help us be more efficient. In order to find savings in other areas we have invited a company called Ideal Impact to come audit and consult with us on how to save money on energy. They are going to ask us to make some decisions about our consumption and we need to listen. They are guaranteeing our savings so we're hoping to recoup some of our losses through that process. There's a chance they could visit with you during your conference period next week. Give them the input they ask for as they will help us create a plan that will provide us with savings.
Have a great weekend!
Eagle Excellence Every Day!

2. In all of the "stuff" we have to get done during the week many times we forget to submit lesson plans by Monday at 8:00. If you don't have a plan...how do you know what you're doing?
