Transform Yourself. Transform Your Community.
Our School's Mission
Our School's Why
Dear LWSH Families and Caregivers,
Greetings LWSH Families, Caregivers, and Scholars,
We are approaching the end of our very first marking period and we are happy to announce that we have successfully implemented our new PBIS system, and as a result, we have nearly all of our scholars modeling our school values consistently! Now that we have that system going, we are now making sure that our scholars continue to build the academic content and skills necessary to reach the requirements for graduation and be prepared for their post-secondary options.
One of the focus areas in our school's Academic Achievement Plan is Writing Across the Curriculum. What this means is that we are having our scholars write responses to literary and informational text in all subject areas with the exception of math. Our teachers are working in teams to create writing prompts and rubrics to engage students in the writing process using feedback and multiple opportunities for students to revise that writing until they reach a level of mastery. To support this learning, we ask that you speak with your child about a writing piece that they are currently working on and ask them to discuss how they have been using feedback to improve their writing.
Another area we are focused on is critical-thinking and problem-solving in math. Each math teacher facilitates Math Talks with students 2-3 times per week. Math Talks allow students to talk to one another about possible solutions around a complex problem being posed. During a math talk, students can challenge each other, present new ideas, and build on former learning to arrive at a viable solution. Students then take a formative assessment to determine how impactful the math talk has been to students mastering key concepts associated with the math talk. To support this learning, we ask that you speak with your child about a math talk they participated in this week and what they learned from it.
We are confident that our efforts in these areas will increase student achievement across grade levels. As we are doing that, we continue to ask for your support through discussing these specific outcomes with your scholar(s) and monitoring their progress by attending our Student-Led conferences. We look forward to our continued partnership in helping every LWSH scholar to transform themselves and their community!!! For more information, call the LWSH main office at 216-838-7100.
Sincerely,
Juliet King
Your Proud LWSH Principal
