HOMECOMING WEEK

COMMENTS:
Homecoming week is always fun. It creates many positive memories for students. It is also one of the more challenging weeks to academic progress. I encourage you to get into the spirit of homecoming, while making the best use of class time. It is an opportunity to model for students how to build school spirit and learn at the same time.

Some staff have asked about wearing spirit wear with jeans on Fridays. I am fine with that arrangement, provided one's appearance is still neat and professional. While I am not one who dresses up much for such events, I am fine with getting into the spirit of homecoming week. In other words, I don't plan to wear pajamas on Monday. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

The PBIS team will be presenting some ideas for student incentives at our next faculty meeting (Oct. 5). We are focusing on how to provide consistent expectations for students in order to create the best learning environment. Thank you to everyone who has been in the halls during passing times to provide for a positive atmosphere.

Have a great homecoming week. Go Lumberjacks and Lumberjills!

Bob

My Last Day

After 13 years as Ladysmith High School's principal, today is my last day. Tomorrow begins the first day of my retirement and a new chapter not only for myself, but also for my wife Rosanne and our son Bob and daughter Alyssa. I can not express the gratitude I have for all the students and staff that have studied or worked at LHS. The cooperation and respect shown to me throughout my tenure has always been positive and respectful. As with any worthy endeavor, there were many challenges, but also many successes. It must be noted that those successes were and are a direct result of the tireless work of so many individuals in this school. I shall miss working with so many consumate professionals for the benefit of so many worthy students. I wish everyone associated with LHS past, present, and future only the very best.

Bob King

LADYSMITH HIGH SCHOOL
Ladysmith, Wisconsin


COMMENTS:
This past week, I had two opportunities to make it to my son’s school for after-school activities. Even though he is a teenage boy and doesn’t say much, I know it is important that I make these events and acknowledge his accomplishments. The same is true I am sure for the boys and girls at LHS. If you have the opportunity, check out students’ activities as the fall events wind down. Recall PBIS and STOIC, by concentrating your efforts into connecting with students. They deserve it.

Please note there will be a meeting for the principal’s advisory committee this Friday morning at 7:30 in the Library. We will discuss ideas for privileges and how to improve behavior. The PBIS committee will meet Monday of next week at 7:30 a.m., in the staff lounge. There will be a status breakfast at 7:15 in the Library on Friday next week. We are going a little earlier in order to acknowledge Bob King’s last day officially in the building. I hope everyone can stop by at least for a few minutes.

As I travel around to classrooms, I am impressed with the variety of activities taking place to assist student learning. Let me know if there is anything specifically you would like me to observe going on in your class. I enjoy when students show me what they are learning. Our goal should be students knowing and understanding more today than they did yesterday in each of our classes. Keep up the good work. - Bob Lecheler

COMMENTS:

Thank you to everyone for your continued efforts for a smooth transition into the school year. I especially appreciate your patience with new students to get lockers open and find classes. However, they should be getting the routine down and should be getting to class on time. If you have students who are struggling to get to your class on time, let me know.

We have student and staff photos on Tuesday, the 13th. If you have any time in the morning and can help monitor students so they get to and from the auditorium in a timely manner, which would be appreciated. Be sure to get your photo taken before school that day.

I will be out of the office with Bob King on Wednesday for the Heart of the North principals meeting. MaryLou can get in touch with me through my cell phone.

I am planning on a fire drill on Thursday. Please review the procedures with students in each of your classes. It should take about two minutes to explain to each class your evacuation map. Be sure to have student rosters readily available to take roll once students are out of the building.

Thanks for your efforts to make LHS a quality learning experience. – Dr. Lecheler
