STEM-Maritime

The spring STEM program is marrying website design with careers in maritime. Some students are creating technologies that encourage creativity and research. Thanks to our partner Shelby Jones for giving great instruction and enhancing our awareness of maritime opportunities. Check out this video about maritime (show your students you know about what they are learning!).
After School Music
An after-school music program has just begun for selected Academy students. For students who are aged 12 or younger, the program delivers music theory, practice and orchestral practice with a final Concert later ths spring. You can see the drums, but there will also be violins and a full orchestra created by our own students.
Working Every Day to Improve Student Success

Without the hard work of teachers, coaches and administrators, learning doesn't happen. Recently, the entire campus underwent a rigorous analysis by experts in instructional and strategic leadership. Classrooms and teaching practices were observed with an eye to making improvements wherever possible. How did we do? (Glad you asked!) The Lawson Academy has made tremendous strides in making every instructional hour effective. The experts gave us some great ideas and plenty of kudos.

Thanks to the entire staff for their great work -- and we continue to work harder to get ever more success from students and staff.
On Campus Safety Measures
Classrooms and high touch areas are cleaned and disinfected daily. Thanks to the parents and community that continues to support a safe Return to In-Person Instruction following the pandemic. Keep monitoring your student (and your family) for any signs of COVID-19 and take appropriate action. This daily schedule should inform you whether it is safe to send your student to The Lawson Academy.
Academy Partnership with NAMI

National Alliace on Mental Illness (NAMI) is providing on-campus ouitreach program for Lawson Academy students. The purpose is to help teens learn about the warning signs of mental health conditions as well as what steps they should take to find support for themselves or their friends. About half of individuals with a mental health condition began experiencing symptoms by age 14. Our partnership with NAMI is one more way to incorporate the full range of mental health resources in the post-COVID environment.
Campus Safety Update
Every school in Texas is participating in increased Safety Awareness planning. At The Lawson Academy, a recent Safety Committee meeting included teachers, facility staff, police and members of the Board of Directors. The discussion included a review of:
  • Campus Emergency Operations Plan,
  • Intruder Detection Audit,
  • Silent Panic Alert System, and
  • Staff Training.

Of course, it is important to continue to monitor and improve safety strategies so that The Lawson Academy is as safe as possible. Great job, Safety Committee!
