Mr. Walter White, our long time Strings teacher, has achieved an amazing milestone. He has been working on his doctorate and completed all course work to finish in December. We celebrated his accomplishment at our January 23 staff development day. We are proud to have Dr. Walter White as part of the Mariner Family. Great job Dr. White!!!

Mr. Mortensen's 7th grade students were using their knowledge of endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions to create a way to make ice cream. They used the engineering design process to identify a problem, investigate a solution, imagine a solution, and finally plan and test a prototype. They will now perfect their design for one final attempt on Monday. Science and ice cream is a great combination!!!

Mr. Hardy's Social Studies classes have been learning about how the US Constitution came about and why it is so important for our country. After learning about our forefathers and how they crafted the document, his 7th graders were then tasked with creating a class constitution following the same ideas and rules used to create that of our country. Students learned the essential components of the constitution and, in groups, created a class constitution to present.

LMS Families, please take a moment to review the information below about PAPER, a free online tutoring/writing/academic support that is available to your student 24/7.

Subject: Important Student Update: Free 24/7 Tutoring

Dear W. Mack Lyon Middle School Families,

We have some incredible news to share! We are thrilled to announce that CCSD has partnered with Paper to provide ALL students at LMS with free, 1-on-1 tutoring and writing support.

Learn more about this fantastic resource and register for a live webinar here!

You can explore this incredible resource with your students right now! Have them go to app.paper.co, search for their school, and login to start a tutoring session.

When students login and start a session, they are instantly connected with subject-matter experts that guide your students through problems step-by-step, without giving away the answers. This way, students can walk away from sessions feeling confident that they understand the material and have the tools to succeed on their future assignments and exams.

Here are a few ways Paper can support you and your students this school year:

• Unlimited 24/7/365 tutoring support — sessions can run for as long as students need!

• Revisions for any typed writing assignments!

• Tutoring and writing support in 4 different languages — English, Spanish, French and Mandarin.

Interested in speaking to a member of the Paper team? You can reach them at parents@paper.co.

Parents/Guardians, please continue to send notes with your student for any absence. Also, you do not need to send a note for a tardy student as it will not be excused. We would ask if your student is out for a doctor appointment, please bring a note from the doctor upon your return. Thank You

Academic Hour will be implemented this year to provide additional assistance to students that are not turning in assignments. We will run on a morning assembly bell schedule. Students that have missing or incomplete assignments will be assigned to grade level teachers and be given the opportunity to make up missing assignments. We want students to understand the importance of completing classroom assignments and understanding the standards that are taught in the classroom. This additional academic assistance can provide that support.

The following protocols are in place at Lyon Middle School to provide a safe environment for our students to learn.

• The front door will be locked during school hours. Please use the doorbell and a member of the office staff will assist you. If someone does not answer the door, please call the number posted
• Students cannot be released by a phone call to the office.
• If you need to pick up your student for an early release, you will need to come to the school to sign them out. Please be prepared to provide identification.
• Please be patient with the office staff as they call your student to the office. Depending on where they are at the time, this may take a few minutes. Please plan accordingly.
• Students will not be released to any person that is not listed in Infinite Campus.

We appreciate your understanding of the above protocols as we do our best to keep LMS safe.
