Lubeck Elementary

This young man was recognized for outstanding citizenship during morning announcements today. After noticing a new student sitting alone on the sidelines during a game at recess, Landon stopped playing and approached the boy to invite him to join in. Being new to a school can be really tough. Thank you, Landon, for your act of kindness! 💙🐾 #nationalbullypreventionmonth

Thank you, Nurse Kyla, for providing this helpful information!

One of the best resources that you have on off-campus learning days is iReady. iReady is research based and designed to meet the needs of all learners. Each K-5 child has completed an iReady Diagnostic test in reading and math. This assessment is a comprehensive look at a student's strength sand weaknesses in all areas. Once students are finished with the diagnostic, there are lessons assigned to them that focus on the EXACT SKILLS THEY NEED. These lessons are engaging and include fun games that serve as brain breaks. All students, except for kindergarten, had experience with iReady lessons last year. In the past lessons were completed at school. However, since our focus is to maximize teacher face to face instruction on the days we have our students, the iReady lessons are being assigned to our 2 day a week students for the days in which they are off-campus learning. Your child can work on iReady without any assistance of an adult. All they need is their iPad and internet access. Students know how to log in and usernames/passwords are also located on their iPad bag. Your child's teacher is monitoring the lessons so that they may intervene or celebrate when appropriate. If your child is performing above level or below level, the lessons will give them support or enrichment because they are targeted to fit their needs. To maximize the targeted learning each week, we recommend 45 minutes of iReady Math and 45 of iReady Reading each week. This can be broken down to be achieved throughout the week. Grade levels have developed goals of how many lessons students should pass each week. Students will take the iReady Diagnostic two more times this year. The next time is in December and again at the end of the school year. We will use these results to measure student growth. Every student has their own growth goal, and we will track progress together. Celebrating student growth is one of the most exciting things we do at school. If you need further assistance with iReady, please reach out to your child's teacher.

Happy World Teachers' Day to our Lubeck Teachers!

October 2 is National Custodian Appreciation Day. The role of a school custodian is more critical than ever. Without Mr. Bill, Mr. John, and Mr. Dave, we would not be able to keep our school as clean and sanitized as is necessary during this re-entry. We appreciate all they do for the students and staff of Lubeck Elementary School! 💙🐾

LUBECK PICTURE DAY UPDATE This is our first year using Jostens for our photos, so we are learning their processes. Student photos will be available online within 5 days of when the photos were taken. You will be able to view and choose the photos you want to buy prior to purchasing. That is a wonderful perk! You will be asked for event code, which is FE24420, and a student ID number. The ID number is your student's 9-digit number. Many begin with 9600. This number is also found in student Schoology passwords.

Beginning Monday, October 5, 2020, the tardy bell at Lubeck Elementary will ring at 8:10am, which is what it was in previous years. Students arriving after 8:10am are considered tardy. This small adjustment allows our students to have a smoother transition into the instructional day. Students being dropped off after 8:10am are to enter through the Lubeck Road entrance and must be signed in by a parent or guardian. Thank you!

Reminder: Lubeck Elementary will have picture day on Tuesday, 9/29, and Wednesday, 9/30. Virtual School students enrolled at Lubeck may come for photos on 9/30 at 1:30. Please come to the gym doors. All orders may be placed through JOSTENSPIX.COM. Use event code FE4420. No orders or money will be collected at the school. Do not wear green as Jostens uses "Green Screen" technology.

Friendly reminder that Lubeck a Elementary outdoor facilities are not open at this time. This includes the walking track, blacktop, and playground. While our students are permitted on the blacktop and field during designated times of the day, playground equipment remains closed at all times. We apologize for any convenience this may cause and hope that we are given permission to reopen our facilities to the community soon.

Attention Lubeck Virtual School Parents!

REMINDER-Lubeck School Picture Day is coming soon! September 29 & 30 All orders are made directly through the company. No money or orders are accepted at the school. JOSTENSPIX.COM event code- FE24420 *Don’t wear green as it will make clothing disappear into the background.*

The Schoology Help Desk at Lubeck will be closed today, 9/23, and tomorrow, 9/24. If you have Schoology issues, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher as they may be able to provide assistance. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Lubeck students have started taking the iReady Math & Reading Diagnostic. These are comprehensive assessments that give us important information about student academic strengths and weaknesses. Once students complete the diagnostic assessment, iReady will provide students with instructional lessons specific to what they need. Lessons are not available until the diagnostic has been completed and are wonderful activities for off-campus learning days. Another important piece of iReady is goal setting. Based on the results, each student will have a growth goal for reading and for math. We will take the diagnostic assessments two more times during the year to monitor progress. Student growth goals are not only important to us, but we want them to be important to you and your student. We believe that every child can grow and we want to celebrate achievements along the way!

If your child (K-12) attends school tomorrow, don’t forget to charge those iPads!

Lubeck Families, As we get settled into the new year, please make sure to keep the school up to date on custody concerns or parenting plans that impact who can pick up students or access information. It is important to recognize that without an order signed by a judge, both parents listed in the birth certificate are equally entitled to students records and access to the student. This includes grades, attendance, and discipline records. If the school does not have orders, signed by a judge, we cannot restrict a parent from picking up a child. If you are unsure of the last time you provided updated information and you know it has changed through the years, this is a great time to send in the most up to date documentation that you have. Thank you!

Schoology Update: Teachers have been getting to know your students the last few days. They will slowly be introducing them how to use Schoology over the next few weeks and begin to put more and more assignments on the platform. When your student logs into Schoology, if they have any assignments with due dates these will show up on the right side of the screen or on their calendar. You can also find assignments by clicking on the Courses at the top and choosing each of the individual courses listed. These courses are auto populated based upon their official schedule. There may be courses that remain empty the entire time if the teacher chooses to put the assignments under another tab. If you need help with Schoology related questions, we have a help desk stationed at the school from 3:30-5:30. Many of the issues we have had is that the correct web link isn’t being used to login be sure to use https://wcswv.schoology.com or go to Wood County Schools Web page, Click on Menu, and then the icon that says Schoology. The app is installed on the iPads, but the web link is much more user friendly.

Thank you for a smooth first day of school yesterday and today. It was great to see students back in the building.
