Principal’s Message

Thank you to all students, parents, and community members for their support during the first

weeks of school. We could not have had such a smooth beginning without your cooperation. We

are very excited to be back and are looking forward to a great school year.

We want to make you aware of two important initiatives this school year which were covered in

detail at LHS Open House on August 25.

First, we are pleased to be in the second year of our implementation of Naviance Succeed and

Family Connection, web-based college & career planning software designed especially for

students and parents. Family Connection is a comprehensive website that you and your child

can use to help in making decisions about colleges and careers. Family Connection is linked

with College Planner, a service used in the guidance office to track and analyze data about

college and career plans. College Planner provides up-to-date information that is specific to

Lakewood High School.

Family Connection will allow you and your child to:

Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume, complete on-line

surveys, and manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and

careers.

Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to

actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted

in the past.

Sign up for college visits – Find out which colleges are visiting our school and sign up to

attend those sessions.

To visit our school’s Family Connection site, use your web browser to connect to

http://connection.naviance.com/lakewoodhs or look for the link on the LHS Home Page and

under the “For Parents” tab.

Passwords and detailed instructions on how to login and navigate Naviance are being mailed to

your home if you did not pick yours up at Open House. If you have any questions, please

contact the guidance department at 216-529-4032. The guidance department will be holding a

Naviance Parent and Student help session in Lecture Hall 2 Tuesday, August 30 at 7:00pm.

Secondly, again this year on October 19, all sophomores and interested juniors will be taking

the PSAT during the school day free of charge. Students interested in taking the ASVAB exam

will take it on the same day. October 19 will be a modified schedule day. Please see details

below.

Page 3: In this issue Upcoming Dates Principal's Message...Keith Ahearn LHS Principal PSAT/ASVAB TEST – BELL SCHEDULE October 19, 2015 The PSAT and ASVAB will be administered on Wednesday,

The most common reasons for taking the PSAT/NMSQT are:

To receive feedback on your strengths and weaknesses on skills necessary for college

study. You can then focus your preparation on those areas that could most benefit from

additional study or practice

To see how your performance on an admissions test might compare with that of others

applying to college

To enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship

Corporation (grade 11)

To help prepare for the SAT. You can become familiar with the kinds of questions and

the exact directions you will see on the SAT.

To receive information from colleges when you check "yes" to Student Search Service

We are very excited this year to begin adding more tools so students and parents can begin

exploring college and career options at any grade level. Please read this edition carefully for

more events to help parents and students on the road to college readiness.

Superintendent’s Message

I am thrilled to be kicking off the 2016-2017 school year with three beautiful new elementary buildings!

Students and staff at Grant, Lincoln and Roosevelt Elementaries will now have the same quality learning

environments that the rest of our elementary students do. And next year, with the completion of the

additions at Lakewood High School, our Facilities Master Plan will finally be complete. I am proud to be

part of a district where we all work hard to accomplish the common goal of providing the best education

for our youth and to be part of a community that supports public education so strongly!

Completing our Facilities Master Plan is one of our District Goals set out for this school year. Below is a

link to the complete list of goals set by our Board of Education. I know with our dedicated and talented

staff, our hard working students, and our supportive families, we can all work together to meet these

goals. I wish everyone a wonderful and productive school year!

Guidance News

Naviance Family Connection is a comprehensive website that you can use to plan for college

and a career. Family Connection is linked with Naviance, a service that we use in our guidance

office to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it provides up-to-date

information that is specific to our school. Family Connection allows families to:

Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume, complete online

surveys, and manage timelines for making decisions about colleges & careers

Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to

historical data from our school for past students who have applied and been admitted

Research hundreds of careers and career clusters, and take career assessments

Create plans for the future – Create goals and complete tasks assigned to you by the

school to better prepare yourself for your future college and career goals

Family Connection also lets us share information with you about upcoming meetings and

events, local scholarship opportunities, and other resources for college and career

information.

**If you did not receive your Naviance log-in at Open House, please contact the Guidance

Department for this information. Freshmen will be learning more about Naviance in their College

and Career Readiness class. We encourage sophomores and juniors to start exploring! Here is

the link for Lakewood High School: http://connection.naviance.com/lakewoodhs

There will be a Naviance help session next Tuesday, August 30th at 7pm in Lecture 2 if you

need help setting up your parent or student account.

Schedules can only be changed if there was an error or class adjustment. As we approach the

second week of school, classes will be added to a student’s transcript and can only be removed

through a parent and teacher meeting and through a principal’s discretion. A reminder that

students should be enrolled in at least 6 classes each semester to be considered full-time.

Freshman Guidance News

I hope you are all off to a great start! If you have questions about your schedule or need to talk

to your counselor, please make an appointment. There will be a sign-up sheet outside my office

where you can fill in your name. Parents feel free to email or call at any time and I will address

your concerns at my earliest convenience. Please remind your students to show up every day

and be engaged in their learning. And a friendly reminder to all 9th graders:

Make it a great year!

September to educate you more about the College Application Process. Hopefully by now, you

FAFSA

One big change for the Class of 2017 is that

the Free Application for Federal Student Aid

Lakewood High School PTA

Join us in making a difference for LHS Students

LHS PTA is looking forward to another exciting and productive year of supporting LHS students

with our PTA programs. After last year's success, we have voted to continue the Teacher Grant

Program. Join LHS PTA to be on the committee and have a voice where the monies are spent.

Last year’s donations were varied: microscopes, math programs, CPR certification, electronics

equipment for Westshore, Barnstormers, and the Social Studies Dept. for a Mock Election. With

a group voice, we have the ability to make change such as the evaluation of the dress code.

Additionally, last year PTA stepped up to help create more 'spirit' in the building: from a pep rally

to the senior hall of fame. Help PTA with creating more spirit events and lasting LHS memories!

These are a few of the new opportunities to get involved, as well as our continued support of

Fresh Start, H20, Teacher Conference Dinners, Student Council, scholarship funding, Senior

Reception and After Prom. LHS PTA support can be found behind the scenes making a difference.

Please join and consider an additional donation to the Painless Project. There's no work involved

and your support goes directly back to these great programs. It is only with your support through

Membership and the Painless Project that we can make a difference.

Our first meeting is: Tuesday, September 27th, 7:00pm, in the Ranger Café

We hope to see you there. Feel free to email us at [email protected] or through

our new Facebook page - Lakewood High School PTA – for questions, thoughts, concerns or

ideas.

Lakewood Music Boosters and the community have much to be thankful for: With the additional

part-time hiring and increased full time position, both at Hayes, the students will be provided the

best music education Lakewood has to offer:

• All music classes K-12 are taught by music specialists

• Students will no longer have to choose between instrumental and vocal music

• All programs will improve as students develop stronger aural skills (listening) and music

literacy skills

• More opportunities for small group instruction on days where students are shared with

choir

• More opportunities for teachers to provide both broader and deeper instruction

• Increased student camaraderie across programs

• Maintained cohesiveness of musical instruction across programs and K-12

• Broadens students’ musical interests and skills for lifelong musiking.

To the Lakewood Board of Ed and everyone involved, we say, THANK YOU!!
