Parent Satisfaction Survey
As we have been working hard, we now have something to ask of you. In April, our annual Parent Satisfaction Survey will open. I hope you will take the time to respond - your feedback is very important to us. The link is active until April 30th.
Youth Frontiers
Our school believes that to do well in school, students need to feel physically and emotionally safe. In our ongoing effort to create a safe and caring culture, we had two Courage Retreats® .
This week our 7th and 8th grade students participated in a Courage Retreat, the YF Retreat Staff focused on creating a more positive school community by engaging students in a variety of activities that enhance self-confidence, empathy and connectedness. This was a high-energy, interactive retreat. To reinforce the positive effects of the retreat, we believe it’s important for the entire community to be involved in supporting and communicating the messages delivered on the retreat.
Because of this, we encourage parents and caregivers to inquire about their retreat experience once the student returns home by asking the following questions:
1. What activities did you find fun?
2. What were the small-group leaders like?
3. What were some of the social fears that you discussed during the small-group conversations? 4. What’s a fear you really struggle with?
5. What is one thing you can do tomorrow at school to show more courage?
Principal Message
Dear Lane Families,
We had an action packed week. Your student finished Forward testing, participated in our annual Tornado Drill and experienced a Courage Retreat. Lane will continue to offer engaging classroom activities as well as opportunities to be involved within the Lane community.
As we enter 4th quarter, continue to remind your son/daughter to be involved.
