Lyon's September Updates
Hello Lyon Families,

By reading the monthly newsletters, Lyon families will be able to stay "in the know" when it comes to Leadership and Learning. As our mission states, Lyon is working to build a culture surrounding the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Students. By choosing to be proactive, being in charge of ourselves, setting goals to grow, and taking time to sharpen our saw we hope each student leaves Lyon ready to tackle the world.

Thank you for helping us meet the needs of each student by encouraging your child to be an active participate in their growth each day.

Stronger Together,

Mrs. Casey Mitchell, Principal
Mrs. Leanne Gove, Assistant Principal
LEADERSHIP
Lyon's First Ever Virtual Assembly!
We had a blast! It's not the way we wanted to come together, but socially distancing doesn't stop Lyon. We all jumped on Google Meets to have a virtual assembly to honor Leaders of the Month, Specials Top Classes, our Lyon Hero and of course yell out our Lyon cheer! This was a fun way for students and staff to press pause and celebrate!!!!!
Congratulations to our Student Leaders of the Month
Love
Learning
Every year Lyon staff work together to set goals for student learning. Throughout the year we track and report progress to our Lyon families. Students are aware of classroom goals that feed into our building school improvement plan. Below are the goals we have established for the 2020-2021 school year:


Literacy: 80% of Lyon students will meet or exceed grade level standards in reading and writing

Numeracy: 80% of Lyon students will meet or exceed grade level standards in math.

Attendance: Monthly attendance will remain at or above 95.2% with an overall proportional attendance at 96.5%

Discipline: The goal is to have 126 Office Discipline Referrals (ODRs), or 12 or less ODRs per month. Overarching goal: Students with 3 or more ODRs will make up less than 5% of the student population.
