Lyman Elementary
June 2023
Note From Mr. McPhee
Dear Lyman Families,
As the 2022-2023 school year ends, I look back over the year and reflect deeply on what we have accomplished as a school community. Our students and staff have been dedicated all year to deeper learning. We made great gains in our school improvement plan and our focus on reading gains through our daily Walk to Read intervention block. I appreciate our teachers' dedication to quality instruction in every class, every day. We are very proud of our continued success with student achievement and their social and physical growth.
Over the last month and a half our students have worked diligently on the Smarter Balanced State assessments and they have shown tremendous perseverance in doing their best on these exams. The data we receive from these assessments is used to focus our instructional practice on student learning needs for the next year and beyond.
Even with all these assessments, we have had the opportunity to go on several exciting field trips. Individual classes visited the Concrete Theatre, Washington Park, San Juan Whale Museum, and the Spark Museum. We work very hard at trying to balance out academic and real world experiences for our students.
The last two weeks of school are very busy. The new tradition of a kick ball game and 6th grade water balloon fight, the school wide Walk-a-thon and the LPG Tie-Dye day are just a few examples of the activities planned for the end of the year. We are also excited to have former Lyman and Sedro-Woolley class of 2023 high school graduates return to Lyman on June 8 to visit our school. It is a great tradition by our high school to complete the circle of our students K-12 education.
Finally, the last day of school for students is Thursday, June 15. We will conduct our final awards assembly and wish our sixth-graders off to the middle school. Student release time is at 11:30 AM on this final day.
Thank you for all your support in helping to make Lyman Elementary a great school! It all starts with our great community!
Sincerely,
Scott A, McPhee
