Raising the Bar

Families,

This week we are raising the bar and delivering results.
Raising the bar means clear goals, strong instruction, and students doing the thinking. Classrooms stay focused. Routines protect learning time. Teachers push for understanding through reading, writing, and discussion. Students explain ideas and respond to each other. This work produces results you see in student growth and confidence.
What raising the bar looks like at Lochbuie Intermediate Academy.
• Clear learning targets in every class.
• Students talking more than adults.
• Work tied to grade level standards.
• Feedback students use to improve.
• High expectations matched with daily support.
Results come from consistency. Results come from effort. Results come from partnership between school and families.

Congratulations to Hunter Hill.
Hunter, a fifth grader at Lochbuie Intermediate Academy, earned first place at the RE3J District Spelling Bee. He now advances to the State Spelling Bee. This achievement reflects focus, preparation, and perseverance. This is excellence in action. This is what raising the bar looks like.
Thank you for supporting high expectations at home and at school. Together, we keep pushing forward.



Best regards,
Manuel Montano
Principal, Lochbuie Intermediate Academy

Importance of Attendance

Attendance builds learning momentum. Students present every day read more. Write more. Solve more math problems. Repetition builds skill. Feedback improves accuracy.
January attendance sits at 92 percent at Lochbuie Intermediate Academy. Families show commitment. Classrooms stay focused. Learning stays consistent. Keep the momentum strong through the rest of the semester.
Students who attend daily are more likely to
• Meet grade level expectations.
• Develop strong learning routines.
• Stay engaged with peers and teachers.
• Enter middle school prepared for higher demands.
Missing ten percent of the year leads to chronic absence. Two days each month adds up fast. Gaps in reading and math appear early. By upper grades those gaps widen and engagement drops.
Daily attendance builds responsibility. On time arrival protects learning minutes. Ten minutes late each day adds up to more than 30 hours of missed instruction.
School hours run from 7:55 AM to 3:00 PM. Supervision and breakfast begin at 7:30 AM. Your support helps your student arrive ready to learn and stay on track.
