Week of 09/29 - 10/03

Another week in the books but we have plenty of work left to do! The semester is moving along nicely, I hope everyone feels the same. This week Sophomores will be taking the PLAN. The test will run from 7:25 - 11:25. All teachers are supposed to post where students are supposed to go on Thursday, or you can see the list here. At this moment I do not have the bell schedule for that day but once I have it I will post it. (By the way, I am just as surprised by this as you!)

SMART Lunch seems to be working. That is to say, school-wide, most students are taking advantage of the opportunities to get extra help and make-up missing work during their longer lunch time. Teachers like the opportunity to spend time with students during the lunches helping students in a less formal setting than the regular class time. As long as student continue to use the time wisely and behave appropriately, SMART Lunch will remain a permanent fixture for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, being the furthest trailer from the building, I have the "pleasure" of intercepting an ample number of students who attempt to leave campus via the bus parking lot. I only hope that their behavior will not impede the progress of SMART Lunch so that it can remain.

Once again, I would like to remind all families this year is an accreditation year for Leesville. Every school must undergo this process every five years. This means that LRHS will be "audited" by an outside source, AdvancED, to ensure that we meet the high standards for accreditation. This is an important process, without it credits earned by students at LRHS will not be accepted by major universities and colleges. An important part of this process is input from all of the stakeholders, including parents. Please, if you have not yet done so, complete the AdvancEd survey to help Leesville remain recognized.
