Happy New Year from the Edgenuity department at the Lawson Academy. Hopefully, you have had a restful and enjoyable winter break. As we begin the second half of our school year, the Edgenuity team would, first, like to welcome those students who have newly joined us for in-person learning. Please know that we will continue to practice safe habits to keep everyone safe while on campus. Second, we would like to encourage students to gear up for the second half of our school year. Hopefully, students were able to get some rest during the break and are now ready to put in the work to finish the year strong. Students will need to continue working on their Edgenuity Reading and Math lessons. The 6th graders will start Basic Math B and continue to work on Basic Reading A. The 7th and 8th graders will continue to work on their Intermediate Math A and Intermediate Reading A courses. We will also begin working with students in small groups to help them be successful in Reading and Math. We are determined to make this happen. So, welcome to the New Year -- new year, new determination.
It has already been two weeks since The Lawson Academy has welcomed students back to campus for in-person learning. We started the first week back with a few computer glitches and technical difficulties. However, by the end of the week, the computers were powered up and teachers, fired up. On Wednesday of that week, teachers received additional training and practice, and on Thursday, the computer system got an upgrade. As teachers, we continuously receive training aimed at helping us provide lessons that are effective, engaging, and thought-provoking. Teachers are stepping up and going the extra mile for our learners. It is our desire that students join us on this journey as we go the extra mile. We would like for students to invest their time, effort, and energy in their own learning. Some students have by participating in class and completing and turning in every assignment. However, there are others who need additional encouragement. Please check in with your child to make sure they are completing their school work. Some students are continuing the practice of not turning in assignments. However, please remind your child that regardless to how the first grading period went, all students have the opportunity for a fresh start. So, parents please encourage your child to go the extra mile and be a 100% participate in their own learning.
Monday, October 19, 2020 signifies a day of new beginnings. It is the first day of the second quarter. It is also the first day that The Lawson Academy will begin to offer learning through a hybrid model as some students begin attending class on campus. As we navigate this transition, the Intervention team would like to emphasize the importance of community -- that sense of looking out for each other, caring for each other. With that in mind, we would like to offer some assurances to our students as well as their families. The Intervention team is committed to offering engaging meaningful lessons to all students and do so in a safe environment. In order to maintain a safe environment, our community must diligently adhere to CDC guidelines and campus expectations.
In addition to maintaining a safe environment, our community must also maintain an environment that is conducive to learning. Students learning from home, as well as those in the classroom, will need to play a part in making sure that learning can occur. We are asking students at home to please use your headphones so you can easily hear the teacher and be prepared to answer questions when asked. Likewise, we're asking students in the classroom to please be respectful and stay on task. We are a community. We all play a part in making sure that learning is occurring in a safe environment

Fall is here and has brought with it gorgeous weather. With Fall's arrival, we experience the beginning of cooler temperatures and prepare for the ending of our first term of the 2020-21 school year. The first grading period ends on October 16, 2020 with report cards going out on October 23, 2020. So, the term is over in just two short weeks. With that in mind, the Intervention team at The Lawson Academy is asking that you check in with your child to make sure he/she is turning in all assignments and completing all Edgenuity lessons. We want each of them to be successful. So, Let's Finish Strong!
This week, the 7th and 8th grade Intervention classes began their several weeks journey through "Percent Land". Currently, students should be finishing up their Edgenuity lesson, "Introduction to Percent". To keep up with the class, students should make sure this lesson is complete before the weekend is over. Next week, we plan to continue our journey with "Finding Percent of a Number". Please check in with your child to make sure he/she is completing the Edgenuity lessons. If students need additional help with learning about Percentages, an excellent additional resource is the Math-Antics video collection on YouTube. "What's a Percentage" would be a great place to start. We want your child to be successful. We're in this together.
