Dear Parents, Grandparents and Guardians;
Lake continues to perform near the top of schools in Glenn County. We met all our proficiency targets set by No Child Left Behind. Our Academic Performance Index increased fifteen points well above the five point target established by the state.
Over the past two months I have been struck by the dedication of this staff. They routinely work late and over week ends. During the fall break many of them took time away from their families to work in their classrooms. They posses a determination and commitment to your students that is rare in this day and age. The support staff is also an impressive group of professionals. Their contributions provide an invaluable component to your child's education without which this school's performance would suffer.
In our ongoing efforts to enhance your child’s learning experience here at Lake, some of our teachers gave up a portion of their summer to receive training to develop a more comprehensive educational model. One that incorporates targeted assessments and corresponding interventions that assists students identified as needing extra help. In this way every student is afforded the opportunity to be successful. Also, every morning the faculty and support staff provide one half hour of small group tutorials for every student identified as needing additional help in specific skills necessary to do the work they are being assigned.
Of course no school can be successful without good students and here at Lake this is certainly the case. I have found our students to be polite and respectful. They are attentive and sincere in being an active participant in their education. Good students make good schools!
Outside of the class room things are happening as well. Over the fall break we began the modernization of the school by replacing the old roof and repairing the air-conditioning curbs. They crew did a great job completing nearly all the work during the student’s time off We also have other projects in the works and are proceeding with them as time and weather permit. One that has been worked on for a long time and seems to finally be moving forward is the playground. Our community club has been working long and hard to upgrade this part of the school. We will be able to move forward with this project pending the final survey report of the property being filed with our architect. We expect to move forward and complete this project this fall or in the spring as weather dictates.
I anxiously look forward to the rest of this school year and working closely with both you and your child to ensure that LakeElementary School continues to provide them with the best educational opportunities possible.
Sincerely,
Timothy E. Ryan
Superintendent;
LakeElementary School District
