Lyon Families,

Happy December! With just a few short weeks before our holiday break, Lyon is packed full of learning and fun! We thought it best if we put out our building newsletter at the beginning of the month to make sure you and your child don't miss out on the fun!

Be sure to check out the dates below of upcoming events, but also notice the celebrations spotlighted from the month of November. With leadership day and our Lead Team Expo Lyon students and staff have been busy!

Sincerely,
Casey Mitchell, principal
Leanne Gove, assistant principal

Habit of the Month

Last month students learned about Habit 3: Put first things first. Students focused on setting a personal goal.  This will be our December focus habit as well.

Ask your child:
  • What is your personal goal? 
  • What steps will you take to reach your goal?
  • When do you want to reach your goal?

Some classrooms have started to dabble in leadership notebooks. Take a look at these Kindergarten leaders discussing their goals with Lyon staff.
School Goal Update:

Attendance:
Lyon currently has 31 students below 90% attendance. Lyon's overall attendance for November was 95.38% which exceed the district goal of 95%. Lyon counselors and special class teachers will continue to monitor and our tier attendance pyramid of interventions will be followed for any student not meeting our 90% mark.
Discipline:
Lyon November office referrals exceeded our monthly goal of 12 or less, with a total of 15 for the month. Our current total is 51 for the 1st semester. Lyon's overarching goal for the year is to have 126 or less referrals. We are still on track towards meeting this goal.
LEAD TEAM Update:

The Office Partners LEAD team made special tree ornaments for the Republic Historical Society. The tree, along with the angel ornaments will be on display and available to view on Saturdays throughout the holiday season from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The Historical Society is located on the corner of Main and Grant Streets.
