The school year is well underway and students and staff are doing great! Last week, all students had the privilege of attending an assembly through The Sandy Hook Promise entitled "Start with Hello". Students were encouraged to remember these three steps: 1. See Someone Alone, 2. Reach Out to Help, 3. Start with Hello. Students were then given ice-breakers and tips they could use to start a conversation with someone who they notice is alone and sent off with the goal of not allowing anyone to eat alone in the cafeteria. It was a powerful message and students couldn't have responded any better! We will continue to stress this message throughout LBMS!
Now for a few housekeeping items! First, any student who received a Written Acceleration Plan in the mail needs to have that signed and returned to their teacher by September 15th. Second, it is far in to the future but I did want to let you know that Picture Day is set for Thursday, September 28th. More information will be coming home closer to the date! Finally, we are thrilled that we are having such a high student turn-out at LBMS and WHS sporting events but please remind students of proper behavior at these events. For student safety and supervision, all students are expected to be in the LBMS student section of the stands during WHS sporting events. We are there to show our support for our fellow Westlake athletic teams! Thank you for your help with this!
I hope everyone has settled in to this new school year - we sure have! As always, never hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns!
Over the course of the following week, we are conducting a needs assessment with LBMS teachers, students and our students' families to guide our school counseling program.
The data collected will be used to determine the topics in upcoming guidance lessons, small group interventions, and other supportive programs.
Individual responses are confidential. If you have a concern about a specific student please send an email to the corresponding counselor.
The survey will close at the end of the day Friday, September 15th. We would appreciate as much participation as possible. Thank you in advance for your time and for sharing your perspective! Click here to begin.
