The Callahan Eagle Visits!
Students were treated to a visit from the school eagle!
Dr. Tutwiler Visits Our School!
Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Tutwiler, read the book, "With Books and Bricks How Booker T. Washington built a School" by Suzanne Slade to a group of fourth grade students. Afterwards, students received a copy of the book, and a snack of sliced apples. Students enjoyed and loved every minute! Thank you Dr. Tutwiler!!!
Did You Know?
The routine of the school day is important for students. They know the main purpose for being in school is to learn and that routines are in place precisely to help them focus on that learning. When students are repeatedly tardy, these routines are disrupted. Arriving after 7:45 AM can throw off their whole morning or even their day, especially if being late made the trip to school stressful.
If getting to school by 7:45 AM is a challenge for your family, you will need to make changes to your morning schedule at home in order to get to school on time. During the winter, students take longer to get ready because of coats, boots and hats. Setting your alarm for 15 minutes earlier could be all that is needed to ensure students are here to meet the teacher by 7:45 AM. This adjustment can help ensure that all students have a great start to their day

EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY
The LPS has a district-wide initiative to have every student come to school every day. To that extent Callahan students have been challenged to come to school every day and ‘on time’ as often as possible. When a classroom has a 100% attendance and they are all ‘on time’ their class wins a ticket. At the end of the month, the winning class(es) will receive a special surprise. The January winners were rooms 108 and 211!!! Congratulations! They will enjoy a fun science experiment and a pizza party!!! Disclosure: “On time” means that students are lined up with their class in the morning and walk in to the school with their class. However, students will not be marked tardy until 8 AM.
ELT – Extended Learning Time - This program is offered after unit math tests to students who need support to reach mastery of math concepts and skills. This program is by invitation and takes place after school.

About School Councils
A school council is a representative, school building-based committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, community members and, at the secondary level, students, required to be established by each school pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 59C.
It is important to note the School Council plays an advisory role in assisting the building principal to organize and implement a School Improvement Plan which not only addresses the areas in which the school intends to comply with the requirements of the Educational Reform Act, but also how the school intends to meet those system-wide goals and policies adopted by the school committee. Membership will consist of the principal, teachers, parents, students and community members. |
