LHS to Host Headland Visitors

We are very proud of all our schools for your academic prowess thus far.   I read this e-mail from Mrs. Ash this week and it speaks volumes of your efforts.  

Mrs. Donna McDougald's RoomDuring Parenting Night

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO REPRESENT OUR DISTRICT

You  have been working hard and people have noticed.  Due to your professionalism and hard work, a team of math teachers and an administrator from Headland Middle School will be coming to Luverne High School to observe 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math classes.  The classroom visits are set to take place on Wednesday, March 14, 2012.  They have heard great things about your adventures with CMP and would like to see it in action.  They are not coming to see a " dog and pony show." They want to see real teachers teaching real students using the meaning-making strategies and activities that our CMP 2 curriculum provides.  More details regarding the visit will be forthcoming.  Thanks for all that you do for the students of LHS.

We would like all of you to know that we are making summer professional development plans already. We will continue to tweak that which we do and continue to search for that which we know is best for children and spread over our entire curriculum.

Belt Buckle Classic Held

Brantley School FFA Members

Many of our students spent last Saturday, January 28, at the Belt Buckle Classic hosted by the Crenshw County Junior Cattlemen's Association. Over 30 animals from from throughout Alabama and North Florida participated.  Mr. Perry Catrett is the CCJCA advisor.  Pictured here are BHS FFA members Caleb Petty, Matthew Hudson, Emily Alverson, and Cassidy Catrett.  FFA Advisor Mark Andrews was also in attendance.  

Also pictured are the Crenshaw County Junior Cattlemen youth who participated showing steers and heifers.  They are:  Justin Rhodes - son of Michelle and Ronald Rhodes of Highland Home, and Cameron and Cassidy Catrett - daughters of Perry and Ashley Catrett of Brantley. Justin, Cameron, and Cassidy will now compete in Dothan for district competition in February and in Montgomery for state competition in March.

School Calendar Proposals

It is apparent from the survey on this blog that the respondents want a March spring break and a week off for Thanksgiving. We firmly believe that our employees cannot support a calendar that eliminates the preparation of the week prior to testing, so we removed the following possible spring break dates from our calendar proposals.

• AHSGE Prep Week-  March 11-18 
• ARMT+ Prep Week-  April 1-5

Please click on this link to view the proposed calendars.  We welcome your feedback.
