Lyon's January Updates
Hello Lyon Families,

Welcome to the 2nd semester of learning at Lyon. We had the opportunity to present to the Board of Education, the wonderful things that happened throughout the 1st semester. Be sure to check out the video and the presentation below to keep up to date with Lyon's vision: Lead, Love, and Learn.

We look forward to celebrating our 100th day of learning on Tuesday, February 2. What an accomplishment and reason to celebrate! I am so proud of Lyon students and staff, and the extra efforts that have come with such a challenging year.

Stronger Together,

Mrs. Casey Mitchell, Principal
Mrs. Leanne Gove, Assistant Principal
LEADERSHIP
This month students learned about Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Students learned how to show empathy to others with actions and words.

Ask your child: 
What is an example of how you can show empathy to others at school and at home?
Congratulations to our Student Leaders of the Month
Love
Each Friday in February we will get our hearts pumping in honor of American Heart Association. Coach Prewitt will have more to share out regarding Kid's Heart Challenge, a fundraiser to support this same organization.
Learning
Reading: 75.9% of students met 2nd quarter grade level standards. This is an increase of 5% from quarter 1. Take a look at our reading benchmark growth graph below that was shared at the January Board of Education Meeting.

Next Steps: Lyon is still below the goal of 80% proficiency, so additional actions and monitoring will take place of those not meeting grade level expectations. A focus on additional tutoring will also be an area for needed growth.
Writing: 70.41% of students met 2nd quarter grade level standards. This is an improvement of 2% from quarter 1.

Next Steps: Lyon is below the goal of 80%, so Lyon will continue to support learners with language standards and focused writing lessons through writing warm-ups and quick writes.

Math: 76.2% of students are meeting quarterly math standards for quarter 2, and increase of a little over 1% from quarter 1.

Next Steps: Lyon is below our goal of 80%. Lyon will kick off a math initiative placing focus on fact fluency.
