Weekly Bulletin

LADYSMITH HIGH SCHOOL
Ladysmith, Wisconsin
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.
