Hello Lawton Families-
Great News!!! FSA score reports are in and are being prepared. They will be sent home very soon. We are so proud of all the hard work that our students have exhibited, and they are off to a great start this year!
We are wrapping up with our Beginning of the Year diagnostic for iReady. Teachers will be using that data and information to prepare and make sure they are meeting the needs of all students.
For Kindergarten, we will be completing the Florida Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (FLKRS). This is a computer-based assessment that will tell us where they are and how to best meet their needs. It is great that we have so much data and information to really meet the students at their levels.

We had so many students receive positivity tickets within the last two weeks that we couldn’t fit them all in one post! The students are pictured holding up their positivity tickets, which include their name and the reason they were chosen.
Students pictured here are: Jonathan and Kadel from Ms. Miller’s class; Aleigha, Ivan, and Eyden from Ms. Fischer’s class; Carlos and Leila from Ms. Crider’s class; and Ezekiel from Ms. DelliBovi’s class. Students from Ms. Karbal’s class, Ms. Cheatwood’s class, and Ms. Alonso’s class also received tickets.

Hello Lawton Chiles! I’m Ms. Miller and I teach fifth grade. I have been a teacher for seven years. I earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree at UCF. My master’s degree is in K-8 Math and Science Education.
I first discovered my passion for teaching through my mother. My mom was deaf, and from a young age I wanted to get into Deaf Education. Then in college I observed a General Ed class and realized I could reach so many more students, from all different backgrounds with their own stories to tell. I fell in love with knowing I could help all kids.
My favorite part about teaching is seeing the academic and emotional growth in my students, becoming a little family, and helping students realize that they can do hard things. This year especially I am looking forward to learning and growing with all of my students face to face. I am also looking forward to seeing teamwork, experiments, and hands-on activities in class. I truly enjoy seeing the lightbulb “aha” moment during learning.
When I am not in the classroom, you would most likely find me reading, watching a Tampa Bay Lighting hockey game, or learning all I can about space exploration.

Hello everyone, my name is Ms. DelliBovi and I am a fifth-grade teacher. I have been in education for 12 years. I first discovered my passion for teaching when my kindergarten teacher told me that I’ve been trying to teach the entire class ever since I first attended school! With this passion, I went to UCF and earned a bachelor’s degree in Exceptional Education and a master’s degree in K-8 Mathematics. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in Curriculum & Instruction with a specialization in K-8 Mathematics Education. I am getting this doctorate because I aspire to make long lasting change in math education.
Kids make my world go ‘round. My favorite thing about my job is the moment students’ eyes light up because they feel SMART. This year I am looking forward to building meaningful relationships with my students and teaching math. Outside of the scope of teaching, I enjoy reading, ballet, jogging and higher education (grad school).

School volunteers are extra-special people who are committed to making schools the best they can be. They offer special attention and caring that can inspire students to reach for and realize their dreams.
School volunteers work at the schools of their choice and participate in activities that match their interests, such as assisting teachers in the classroom, designing bulletin boards, working with students, serving as computer tutors, working with art classes, or helping out in the office or media center.

HOW: The LCE Behavior Buzz
|
|
|
|
As we enter September our PBIS school-wide focus is “Be Respectful.” Students are encouraged to practice these skills at home and at school.
Our first official PBIS classroom drawing was a success! Congratulations to Ms. Johnson’s 4th grade class and Ms. Henry’s 2nd grade class! They were rewarded with a classroom ice cream party and recognized with a PBIS classroom banner! Congratulations!!
|
|
|
|
Our next drawing will be held in two weeks and students are working so hard to earn their Lawton Loot and a chance for an ice cream party!
Our students are generalizing the PBIS concepts at school and at home! Check out our LCE student (left) who made a list of skills to practice at home! Great work!
September PBIS Pro Tip: “Be Respectful” – Use a talking level voice, respect other’s property, and take turns.

At Lawton Chiles we are committed to establishing a school culture that is focused on the whole child; including social emotional needs. The school counselor, Emma Buchanan, conducted minute meetings with all students on campus. These meetings are conducted more than once and monitored throughout the school year. During these minute meetings, five questions were asked:
- How has the school year been so far?
- How is your day going so far?
- Do you know where my (school counselor’s) room is?
- How many friends do you have at school?
- Do you have a safe adult at school you can talk to?
We utilize this data to determine services from various staff to support student needs. These services can include, focused counseling sessions, individual and small group counseling, and incorporate community resources to support students and families as needed. Below is the graphed data showing results of questions one, four, and five:

While our results are overall positive, we want to continue to improve our school culture by focusing on social emotional education for all students. All students will begin receiving bi-monthly health classes with Ms. Buchanan to develop the skills and strategies to build successful relationships and deeper understanding of their unique needs. These lessons incorporates developing strategies for:
Self Awareness
Self Management
Social Awareness
Relationship Skills
Responsible Decision Making
Our goal in incorporating these skills is to ensure all students feel safe on campus, are able to build successful relationships, and view school as a positive environment.
