Off and running

Families,

Our first week back from winter break showed focus, energy, and strong routines across Lochbuie Intermediate Academy. Students returned ready to learn. Teachers worked hard on rebuilding routines and expectations while driving instruction back to grade level academics from day one.
Here is what we saw across the building.
• Students back in academic routines by day one
• Calm transitions and strong hallway behavior
• Focused classrooms with clear learning targets
• Students talking, writing, and solving problems
Teachers jumped right into instruction. Students worked with purpose. Instruction started right away. Teachers checked for understanding and adjusted instruction in real time.
We also kept our PRIDE values front and center.
• Perseverance through challenging work
• Respect in classrooms and common areas
• Integrity in effort and behavior
• Diversity through student voice and collaboration
• Excellence through strong academic focus
Strong habits early in January lead to strong results in May.
Thank you for helping students get back into routine. Sleep. On time arrival. These drive learning every day.
We are proud of the way our Lions started the year. The momentum is real.


Best regards,
Manuel Montano
Principal, Lochbuie Intermediate Academy

Importance of Attendance

Attendance drives learning. Students in seats get more reading, more writing, and more math. Practice builds skill. Feedback sharpens work.
January attendance sits at 92 percent at Lochbuie Intermediate Academy. Families show commitment. Classrooms feel the difference. Keep pushing through the second half of the semester.
Students who show up every day are more likely to
• Score higher on state tests.
• Build strong academic habits.
• Stay on grade level.
• Finish middle school ready for high school.
Missing ten percent of the year means chronic absence. Two days each month adds up. Students start to fall behind in reading and math by third grade. By fourth and fifth grade the gap grows. In middle school students lose momentum and connection.
Daily attendance builds routine and responsibility. Your student builds skills through steady work.
School hours run from 7:55 AM to 3:00 PM. Supervision and breakfast start at 7:30 AM. Help your student arrive on time and ready to work. Ten minutes late each day adds up to more than 30 hours of lost learning. Your support keeps your student on track.
