LUCAS CROSSING ELEMENTARY COMPLEX

Please continue to complete Evaluate and the District Mathematics Benchmark testing. These two assessments are priority at this time. Ensure students are focused and are demonstrating their learning during these assessments. Many grade levels are having students chart their own data, which is a wonderful strategy to engage students in their own progress!

Our Winter Concert is on Tuesday, December 5, 2017 @ 6:00 p.m. It is expected that all staff are in attendance. We will not have an after- school PLC on this evening. Ms. Winslow, Mr. Clanahan, and students have a wonderful evening planned for our school community!

All Unit Plans are due to the LC Principal by December 8, 2017. We will review the procedures for completing these plans on this Tuesday's PLC. After receiving feedback from RSIT, we will make minor adjustments to our plans. Please select the standards you will be teaching for the upcoming six weeks. These standards will also be the standards we will identify for our Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) for next semester.

A Student Learning Objective (SLO) is a measurable, long-term goal of academic growth that represents a portion of a teacher’s impact on student learning. While the term “SLO” may seem new, the concept is actually a very familiar one in Missouri. Essentially, SLOs represent the process of gathering and analyzing student data, using that data to set student growth goals, and then assessing whether students have met those goals at the end of instruction. What is new about SLOs is that they offer a formalized, collaborative process for using student growth data in evaluations, especially for non-tested grades and subjects.

On December 11, 2017, LCEC will be presenting at the NSC (JEGB) Board meeting. The administration team will be presenting our data dashboard and sharing our school goals and instructional vision. Please come out to support our school. The meeting will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. If you attend the Board meeting, you will receive two free jean days!

The Missouri State Board of Education voted unanimously Friday to raise the district’s classification up to “provisionally" accredited. Congratulations Normandy!!!

A HUGE thank you goes out to Ms. Wright and her father for bringing Christmas to our students a bit early this year. Santa and his helpers came to visit Learning Community I on Friday! Students were able to share their wish list and take pictures with Santa! Thank you so much Ms.Wright for bringing Santa to LCEC!!
