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.

Welcome to the Callahan School Council Webpage
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.
