Happy New Year!!!! I hope that everyone had a great holiday and that 2012 is a great year for you!
I wanted to update you on the progress of the pods. As you have probably seen, all of the pods have been set and they are working diligently to finish the trim work, hook up electricity and plumbing, and get them ready for our February 1st start date. So far, everything seems to be on track. I just hope Mother Nature cooperates with us and we don't get any snow in January.
We have also begun the process of moving items into the pods. Many of the classrooms have been transferred and that process is going smoothly. Again, as long as we don't get too much snow, we should be ready to go on February 1st.
Over the next week or so, I will be posting on our web site a list of questions and answers about "Life in the Pods". This document is designed to answer questions we have been getting about how things might be different in the pods. It will cover items such as pick up and drop off points, the bell schedule, and ROAR Block. If you have a question that you would like me to answer, please email me at smithte@lcps.k12.va.us. I'll be sure to include it when we post it on the web. (We will send home a paper copy as well.)
I also want to remind you that we will be having our Fall SOL tests on January 11th, 13th, 18th, and 20th. Please be sure to check out our web site to get the specifics. Also, we will be holding our exams on January 23rd and January 25th. January 27th will be an exam-make up day.
As always, thank you for your support of LCHS. This has been a challenging semester, but through the hard work and dedication of the LCHS family, we have made it through this difficult time.
