Attention All Lynn Classical High School Students and Parents

Your teachers are providing essential class information into our Staff Website. Once you are in this site, you select a teacher's name, then course title, and you will find class Homework, Test Dates, and Projects. You can go directly to the Staff website by clicking the link below:

	Staff Website Link	Visit The Teacher | Homework Website
	Applied Technology	The Applied Technology Department is dedicated to providing students with the knowledge and ability to be successful in their future endeavors.  Our course content includes Computers for College, Computer Applications 1 and 2, Computer Literacy, Web Design / Desktop Publishing, Accounting, and  Honors Computer Programming with Java and C++.
	Art	The Art Department at Lynn Classical High School is committed to nurturing the artistic development of the student ; to instill the knowledge of the importance of art in life; and to hopefully inspire the young artist to pursue art as a career.
	English
	ELL	The ELL department is organized so that newcomers to the country with little or no knowledge of English begin in ELL A and appropriate levels of content area subjects such as math, history, and science. Year two generally finds the student in ELL B classes with possibly a mainstream math class. ELL C is for third year students and many also take mainstream science as well as math. The fourth year in the country generally finds the student in all mainstream classes, including English, with one support class, ELL D. There is a curriculum that is followed in each level and as long as the student passes the required material, he or she is moved on to the next level. Although unusual, some students who progress rapidly are allowed to skip a level to allow them to pass into the mainstream more quickly.
	Math
	MCAS
	Music
	Physical Education
	Science	LCHS is a habitat for learning designed to prepare young men and women for successful individual futures as members of a larger community. Science and technology/ engineering are integrally related to mathematics. An effective program in science and technology/engineering addresses students' prior knowledge and misconceptions. Investigation, experimentation, and problem solving are central to science and technology/engineering education. Students learn best in an environment that conveys high academic expectation for all students.
	Social Studies
	SPED
	Theatre Arts
	World Languages	The Foreign Language Department encourages a cultural and humanistic approach to the study of foreign language as the best means of expanding communication and understanding among the many people who make up the community of nations, be it at home or abroad. Since language is an integral part of culture, one must be familiar with a particular language in order to be familiar with the culture of people who speak it. Language is basic to mutual understanding. Understanding is synonymous with humanitarianism. Once the student understands the man of the culture, he will better understand the expression of his desires, attitudes, aspirations and tribulations. From the study of a foreign language and culture, the student will acquire a better understanding of his own language and culture and of himself and his place in society. Understanding will lead him to creativity -- to a better society for himself and for his fellow man.

The next School Council Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 6 PM in the Student Activity Room.

Gene Constantino
Principal

Each school in Massachusetts is required under the Education Reform Act of 1993 to establish a school council. Our school council has the following role:

1. Assist and advise the principal in adopting goals for the school.
2. Assist and advise the principal in the identification of the educational needs of the students in that school.
3. Assist and advise the principal in the review of the school budget request.
4. Assist and advise the principal in the formulation of the school’s improvement plan.

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.
