The Power of Social Media

9/24/2017

 
Social media is part of all of our lives. It is an ever changing frontier that needs to be embraced as part of our culture but at the same time, we need to truly understand the power that it holds. On October 3rd, Lyme-Old Lyme Public Schools and Lyme's Youth Service Bureau are very excited to offer an engaging program for all students grades 5-12 by Tom Pincince on The Power of Social Media and  the importance of making good decisions while publishing to Social Media. The program includes two assemblies for students during the school day - one in the morning at the High School, an  afternoon assembly at the Middle School to include all grade 5 students, followed by an evening event for parents, grandparents, community members at 7 pm.  We hope to see you there!

Gary Holland and Chef Claude of our Lyme-Old Lyme High School Food Service Department offered our students some wonderful, farm-fresh choices this past week. We participated again this year in the Farm to Chef Program, sponsored by the State Department of Agriculture. This program helps connect Connecticut chefs and food service professionals with growers, producers, and distributors of CT Grown products.  It also helps the public locate restaurants, institutions, and other dining facilities that serve foods prepared with CT Grown ingredients.  It was a great success and very delicious ... Thank you Chef Claude!

Bio-Garden

9/19/2017

 
Take a look at what flourished over the summer... I had shared with you last fall pictures of the garden that Mrs. Walter's Biology students planted after researching specific plants that bees and butterflies like and need.  Almost all of the plants came back this year.  They have attracted lots of bees and we have Monarch butterfly caterpillars on the milkweed.  It looks great and will hopefully help some of our pollinator friends too.

Brendan Atkins  finished 9th out of 118 in his age group at the Rotterdam World Triathlon. Males 30-34. Here are his reflections of the experience:
"I came in 9th in my age group today at ITU Rotterdam Worlds Age Groups Olympic distance today. This was my favorite Triathlon race by far I've ever raced in before. The weather and water temp where nice and cold which I love racing in cold weather! The bike course was crazy technical and crazy fun at the same time. I almost crashed a couple times on the bike. I was just trying to give it my best. I hit a bump on the bike course and got some air time ha lol. The bike course was something you'd see in Mario Kart. I had a 10k PR today! Avg a 5:21 pace on the run. This was a amazing experience and I meet a lot of wonderful people all around the world! The Netherlands is a beautiful country. So many people biking around and living healthy lifestyles. I felt very comfortable being here." .....                                          
​                                                               
WAY TO GO BRENDAN!!!

Week 1 in Review

9/4/2017

 
Although we are only 3 days into the year, the positive energy and excitement in the halls of Lyme-Old Lyme High School is electric!
Our first day began with Homeroom and Class Meetings. Jim and I welcomed back the Juniors and Seniors followed by the Freshman and Sophomores.
We began the welcome back assembly reminding our students of the LOLHS Core Value and Beliefs and introducing the classes to the newly developed Honor Code. Additionally we reviewed the basics. On Thursday during Advisory, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors engaged in a closer read of the handbook to ensure their understanding of some important details as well as a more in depth look at the Honor Code.  The Freshmen participated in the 1:1 orientation and will review the handbook basics and Honor Code in their High School 101 class. 

Handbook Highlights:

Parent Student Handbook

BE ON TIME! Students are expected to be in their classrooms by 7:40 ready to learn. The front doors lock at 7:39. If a student is arriving late to school,  they are to sign in at the main office to receive a pass to go to their first period class.   See page 20 of the handbook for further clarification

DRESS APPROPRIATELY: We take great pride in the appearance of our students and believe that student attire reflects upon the quality of our school. In an effort to create a positive learning environment, students are expected to come to school dressed in an appropriate manner.  Please review the expectations  for student attire on pages 33-34.

BE PRESENT! 
We know that cell phone use is part of everyone's life. We also know that it can truly be a distraction to learning and a way to "tune out" the rest of the world.  We ask students to be present and an active member of our school community. To that end, we require that cell phones be put away and silenced during the school day. Students may use cell phones prior to 7:40am and after 2:10pm.  Please review page 33 of the handbook fur further information.

Attendance Policy: Lyme-Old Lyme High School follows the attendance guidelines delineated by the State of Connecticut. The state of Connecticut explains that a parent may "excuse" their student from school for nine times for a year long course. Please review with your son or daughter pages 18-22 of the handbook for details of the Connecticut State Guidelines on Attendance to better familiarize yourself with our school policy.
