LBJ Apparel Sale!!!
Can you believe that February has come and almost gone? Let's spring back into action and help support our school spirit by purchasing long sleeve polo's! This is a great opportunity for the children to be in proper uniform, support the school and as an extra bonus we are now offering students the opportunity to wear jeans every Friday with any long sleeve polo with the LBJ logo embroidered on it. Long sleeve polo's are still on sale for just $10.00 each. HUGE SALE on other items that you want to stock up on are short sleeve polo's $10, hoodie sweatshirts $15 and zipper sweatshirts $20. Remember that there is never any doubt if your child(ren) is following dress code when purchasing anything from the Snack Shack. Supplies are limited to what is on hand. Get them while their HOT because when they're gone, they're gone!!! The Snack Shack will be open during the lunch hour for all students for uniform sells, donations and exchanges the first Monday of every month. I am pleased to announce that we have been able to open the Snack Shack for additional sales since Winter Break, and will do our best to do this in the future (permitting there are volunteers able to do so). We are currently looking to open the Snack Shack more frequently during the week to accommodate the needs of the children and are looking for volunteers that would be able to assist with sales during lunches and at school activities. If you are able to volunteer or if you have any questions please contact Cyndi Keys at 315-6970 or cbteddybear777@msn.com. The updated schedule for the rest of the school year is as follows: Feb. 23, Mar. 1, 23 Apr. 5, 22 and May 3. Please have your children listen for announcements and look for postings of additional times.

Greetings LBJ Parents:
It’s hard to believe that we have blitzed through the first semester already. We have survived and successfully completed a number of events, many such as Fall Fest, and student led parent conferences, that are unique to or have been piloted by LBJ. I have a few things to share with you regarding the upcoming semester. They include the Standards Based Assessment, a calendar clarification, the bell schedule for all APS middle schools next year, and the use of iParent.
Please remember that LBJ will be administering the Standards Based Assessment (SBA) a bit differently this year. We are no longer allowed to let students go home early. They must put in a full day of school. This has caused some changes in the amount of days that we will be administering the test. Please take note for your calendars.
March 29, 2010 SBA Testing April 2, 2010 Vernal Holiday
March 30, 2010 SBA Testing April 5, 2010 Regular School Day
March 31, 2010 SBA Testing April 6, 2010 Final day of SBA Testing
April 1, 2010 SBA Testing
It is absolutely essential that your children attend school on these SBA testing days. We appreciate the support from home to make this happen.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS IMPORTANT CALENDAR CLARIFICATION – there is INCORRECT information in the student agenda regarding February 2, 2010. Although this is a voting day, school WILL be in session on Tuesday, February 2, 2010.
The entire district will be moving to an identical bell schedule for all middle schools next year. I have just shared copies of the final two proposed schedules with the PTSA President, Kathy Korte. We will make these schedules available on the list serve and LBJ website soon. A final decision by the district bell schedule committee will be made soon.
iParent has been very successful in the early going. As a matter of fact, LBJ has the highest parent participation out of all the schools currently piloting it. Still we have only had 332 parents participate. That is only 33% of all parents. This is such an outstanding tool for parents to monitor their student’s progress. I highly encourage you to consider using this effective means of communication. If you need assistance from someone at the school, please feel free to give us a call.
That is all I have for now. Thank you for sharing your middle-school students with us.
Sincerely,
Mike Bachicha, Principal
