Dear Lancer Families,
As we enter the 4th quarter, we have started the process of reflecting on student data that shows our success and growth areas this year, and thinking ahead to planning our School Improvement Plan for next year.
Our school supports MMSD's vision that all students acquire the skills and abilities needed to be successful, including a mastery of content areas, growth mindset, self-knowledge, creativity, wellness, interpersonal skills, confidence, cultural competence, and community connection. Through these skills and abilities, our students will graduate college, career, and community ready.

The
Counselor Connection
is filled with event details, post high school planning info, scholarship links, summer opportunities, Latino Parent Night/Resources, Important events (AP Next Steps, career events, job/volunteer link, summer college events), and more. The monthly Counselor Connection is accessible through the Lancer Legend, What's Happening, and Student Services page in the LHS website.

Are you moving or have you moved this year?
|
If you have moved or plan on moving outside of your school's attendance area prior to the first day of school, you may need to fill out an
internal transfer application
in order for your student to continue to attend the same school or feeder school for the upcoming school year. To find your new attendance area, use the
Find Your School tool
online or contact your student's school.
The Internal Transfer window opens May 7 and closes at 4 on May 25. We encourage you to apply during this first round to receive preference even if you are not planning to move until the summer. Everyone that applies during the first round will find out if they were approved or waitlisted by July 1. All other applications received after May 19 at 4 pm will be notified on August 31.

Madison Police Traffic Initiative
|
|
Good Afternoon,
I wanted to share information about a traffic initiative we have just begun adjacent to your schools of La Follette, Sennett, and Glendale. We have selected the intersection of Pflaum Road at Stoughton Road for increased MPD traffic enforcement and visibility over the next few months. I have shared this information with Alders Ahrens and DeMarb and at a recent community forum but want to make sure you, as school officials, are aware as well. I wanted you to be aware that your staff, as well as parents and students, may see increased police presence at times.
Writing citations is not a primary goal. Citizen contacts during traffic stops may include citations when appropriate, and/or the issuance of written warnings. Police visibility is the key. I have attached a flyer that officers will hand out upon making any traffic contacts in this area. I have also attached a short Q and A for you which explains a bit more about this initiative. One of the major reasons this intersection was selected over others in the neighborhood was based upon the location of your schools. I have witnessed many instances of young people crossing that busy and dangerous intersection, whether on their way to school, or simply trying to grab lunch at Wendy’s or Subway.
The goal is to reduce traffic crashes by encouraging motorists to drive in a safer manner. Therefore, getting the word out about this initiative is important. I have contacted the Glendale Neighborhood Association and will also advertise this project via MPD social media platforms. I suspect there may be a TV news interview as well. If you are willing or able to share this information with parents or students in any way, it would be appreciated. I am happy to answer further questions or draft something for a newsletter if requested. Please feel free to forward to others as you deem appropriate.
Thank you!
