LHS 3.9.25

Dear LHS Families:

Last week's PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention Supports) focus was on being responsible. One area that was specifically highlighted and discussed with students was the importance of completing assignments on time. Here are some tips that were shared by our Student Leadership Team last week:

Why Meeting Assignment Deadlines Matters:

Meeting deadlines for assignments isn’t just about getting good grades - it helps students build important skills in school, work, and life. Here’s why it matters:

1. Improves Time Management – Turning in assignments on time teaches one how to prioritize tasks and avoid last-minute stress.

2. Builds Responsibility – Taking charge of one's school work/academic success shows maturity and prepares students for future expectations in college and/or jobs.

3. Helps One Learn Better – Completing assignments on time helps one to absorb information gradually, instead of cramming at the last minute.

4. Reduces Stress – Keeping up with deadlines prevents the panic of rushing through work right before it’s due.

5. Keeps Things Fair – Deadlines ensure everyone is graded under the same expectations and keeps the class on track.

6. Prepares You for the Real World – In the future, whether it's a college project or a work deadline, meeting expectations will be the key success.

We ask that you please support your student(s) at home by having discussions and regularly reminding them of the importance of meeting deadlines, staying organized, asking for help with they need it, and to take ownership of their learning!

In March, Lincoln High School is going to have a Community Day where we will focus on building up our school community and strengthening our relationships as a school family for a few hours. Our teachers are sharing activities with our students from community service activities (like creating Gift of Life blankets for donor families and making and donating dog treats to the Humane Society), to fun activities (like cards, games, movies, cooking, gardening, and crafting), as well as options to practice mindfulness activities. Donations would be extremely helpful, so we are able to have materials for our activities. Please see the Amazon Wish List below to see how you can help! Thank you for supporting us. Go Splitters!
