OUTDOOR ED CELEBRATES 50 YEARS!
|
|
This year marked the 50th year of the Lake Geneva Outdoor Education program. This year's 6th-grade students participated in the celebration of this amazing program. Students received special edition "50" Outdoor Ed t-shirts in addition to all the extra celebrating we did throughout camp. We couldn't have asked for better weather to celebrate 50 years!
Outdoor Ed continues to be a program dedicated to teaching students about the outdoors and all the activities and interests it has to offer. Each house of students spent two days learning about life on the prairie, life in a swamp, how to survive in the woods, and the water adventures of a lake. Students also learned how to shoot bows and arrows, conquer their fears on the climbing wall and high ropes course, navigate using GPS, how to start and cook over a fire, and some students caught their very first fish! Evening activities included students performing group themed yells, and comedic skits for their classmates. It was smiles all around, and students begging to go back!

HELP FOR STUDENTS AFTER SCHOOL

Primetime is our building-wide after school student academic support program. Primetime is an opportunity for students to get extra assistance from their teachers. Students at all grade levels are assigned to stay for Primetime when they are missing 3 or more assignments or currently have an F in any class. Primetime is assigned Monday morning in homeroom when teachers go over grades with students. Students who meet the requirements are required to stay on Tuesday and Thursday until 4:15. Our goal at LGMS is to get all students the support they need to be successful.

PARENT AND STUDENT REMINDERS

BREAKFAST:
Breakfast is served starting at 7:00 a.m.
The cafeteria area is only open to students purchasing breakfast.
STUDENT PICK UP: If you need to pick up your student during the day, we ask that you
please send a note with your student in the morning with a time that you will be picking them up. That way we can write them a pass to hand to their teacher when it's time to leave. This avoids having to disrupt classes by calling in looking for a student.
BUS PASSES: If your student will be riding the bus home with a friend, please send a letter in the morning indicating who he/she will be going home with. We will then issue a bus pass.
LATE START: Late starts are the second Thursday of each month. On those days, school begins at 9:30 a.m. We ask that students not be dropped off earlier than 9:20 a.m. Buses run 2 hours later than normal pick up time.
LATE BUSES: Late buses run as follows:
Monday - Thursday: 3:35 p.m., 4:20 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

DI Info
Title 1 District Wide Information:
Title I is a federal program that is used to work with students who would need extra assistance in reading skills. Recently, every school in the Lake Geneva School district became a School-wide Title school . Schoolwide programs allow the schools greater flexibility on how they utilize specialists in each building. Students that are identified as needing extra services in reading will still receive reading services however specialists may also be used in additional ways such as coaching, co-teaching to assist all of our students, and enhance our reading program as a whole.
