Just a reminder. . . .
When dropping your students off, please pull as far forward as you can and drop off as quickly as possible. This will help everyone get to school on time and avoid backups.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Hello Royal Families,
Welcome to the 2017-18 school year! Our school team has been hard at work with the goal of making this year a success for our students and families.
As your new principal, I aspire to continue all of the great work that has been occurring at Lynnwood High school for years, while also challenging us in to grow and improve in all we do to support our students.
A key value for our school is family engagement. We know that parents want the best for their children and it is our goal to reach out and partner with you in this belief. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you have about our school improvement and stay tuned for announcements about the many upcoming opportunities we will have this year to partner together. We are a team!
Speaking as a parent of school-aged children, I have some understanding of the questions that might be on your mind. Two questions I keep wondering are…
How do I know if my child is having success at school?
And
How can I support them so they are successful?
For the first question, I encourage you to learn about two online tools that students can show their parents on their Chromebook: Skyward and Canvas. All teachers will be posting grades on Skyward as well as displaying assignments on Canvas. If you are unsure on how to use these platforms to monitor your students’ progress, please feel free to schedule an appointment with counseling or look on our website for tips on how to monitor progress through these websites. Tips can be found on the “Parents” section of our LHS website on a document titled “classroom tech tips”.
For the second question, I believe one of the most important gifts you can give your child is to instill in them the value of education. One simple way to give this gift is through regular conversations about school. I know conversations with teenagers can be tricky; the more you can show them that you care about their education the better. While teenagers may often appear disinterested in what the adults in their life have to say, they are often listening more than they let on. So keep on encouraging, challenging, and loving them; even when it feels like they aren’t with us.
I certainly don’t have all the answers but I know that we have the same goal – to prepare your child for a happy and successful life beyond high school. As we look toward making our goal a reality, please feel free to reach out to me as we head into this partnership.
Thank you for doing the world’s most important work – being a parent.
From the desk of Mike Piper ~
