LHS and the New Report Card: Just as Lakewood High School sends home a report card to tell you how well your child is learning, our school also gets a Local Report Card each August from the Ohio Department of Education. This report tells our school and parents if we are doing a good job of educating our students. You can see our most recent report card at reportcard.education.ohio.gov. If you have seen these reports in past years, you may have noticed something different. The old report card that used terms such as “Excellent” and “Continuous Improvement” to rate schools has been discontinued. Our school now gets letter grades of A-F on nine ways of measuring school success. Over the next two years, the department of education will add new ways of measuring how well we are serving our students. Starting in August 2015, our school and others will get grades on 18 items in six categories. We also will get an overall letter grade. We do not know yet what our overall grade will be in two years. But please know that the teachers and support staff at our school are always working to improve our teaching and your child’s learning. You can learn more about Local Report Card grades and how they are determined at the website link above. If you have questions or concerns about our school’s performance in any of the areas listed on the report card, please contact me at 216-529-4028. Here are some important dates coming up in October to be aware of: October 3

District Message
SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE
After months of community engagement and gathering feedback from Lakewood residents over
the last year, the Lakewood School Board placed a 3.25 mill bond issue, plus a 0.5 mill
permanent improvement levy – set aside to maintain buildings - on the November ballot.
This bond issue will result in replacing Grant, Lincoln, and Roosevelt Elementary Schools and
finish renovations at the high school by rebuilding the east end.
This bond issue finishes rebuilding Lakewood City Schools and the State will pay half! If this bond issue passes, the
State of Ohio will contribute $50 million to construction costs –meaning the project costs much less for our residents.
This issue finishes the Master Facilities Plan. The Plan includes environmentally friendly, energy efficient, safe
and secure school facilities that will:
Lower operating costs.
Ensure up-to-date classroom space.
Improve instructional technology and digital applications.
Modernize safety systems.
New buildings will reduce waste and provide a better learning environment. New buildings will lower operating
and maintenance costs of our school buildings, which average 80 years old. All students throughout the District will
have the opportunity to learn in quality facilities. This plan also eliminates all modular units across the street from
Lakewood High School.
All buildings, to date, have been completed on time and on budget. For less than $11 per month on a $100,000
property, the construction process will be complete and Lakewood will have new school buildings throughout the
community, which will be an asset for all of Lakewood.

What is a Painless Project?? IT’S A BAKE SALE…..without the baking IT’S A CARNIVAL…..without the planning
IT’S A BOOK OR T-SHIRT OR MAGAZINE SALE….. WITHOUT THE TIME AND ENERGY INVOLVED IN MAKING THE SALE
IT’S A WAYS AND MEANS PROJECT to support PTA activities…without the work
IT IS THE WAY AND THE MEANS by which all parents
can support PTA activities benefiting their students
So please take a minute to donate the cost of a cake and frosting or the price of a paperback book. Include your Painless Project donation in with your PTA dues and return to Lakewood High School with your student or mail
it to Lakewood High School PTA at 14100 Franklin Blvd.
Then…. sit back, put your feet up, have a cup of coffee and forget the muss and fuss of a Ways and Means project
because
IT’S PAINLESS.

Attention Parents
During school hours, from 8am-3pm, students should only be called off for
appointments through the House Offices. This allows us to mark attendance
appropriately and to make sure that students are called down at the appropriate
time. Please do not text or call your child to leave school property without
informing the House Office. Thank you all for your continued cooperation.
Parent Volunteers Needed!
Ms. Boyd needs guest speakers to come in and address students in “Spanish For
Success” classes on a variety of topics under the umbrella of what success means
and what it takes to be successful. No Spanish knowledge is necessary and the
class meets 1st and 3rd periods (that’s 8-8:40 and 9:32-10:12 for you civilians). Of
particular interest are those of you who have perhaps had a rough road to
success. Please contact her at [email protected].

The Lakewood City Schools' English Language Learner's after school program is well underway, and we are looking for volunteers! Through this program, 2-12th grade students who have low English proficiency levels are assisted with their homework as well as learning the English language.

SCHOOL IN THE CINEMA:
Presented by the Lakewood
Council of PTAs
The Friends of Lakewood Public Library and the Lakewood
Council of PTAs are pleased to present School in the Cinema, a
film series about education in the United States and around the
world. These documentary films examine education from several
points of view. We hope the series is thought-provoking and
generates conversations about education in Lakewood and the
world beyond. Come share your thoughts.

Brooklyn Castle (2012) Directed/Produced by Katie Dellamaggiore
Brooklyn Castle tells the stories of five members of the chess team at a below-the-poverty-line inner city junior high school that has won more national championships than any other in the
country. The film follows the challenges these kids face in their personal lives as well as on the chessboard, and is as much about the sting of their losses as it is about the anticipation of their victories. Ironically, the biggest obstacle thrust upon them arises not from other competitors but
from recessionary budget cuts to all the extracurricular activities at their school. BROOKLYN CASTLE shows how these kids' dedication to chess magnifies their belief in what is possible for
their lives. After all, if they can master the world's most difficult game, what can't they do?
Thursday, October 24th at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
American Promise (2013) Directed by Joe Brewster and Michele Stephenson
American Promise spans 13 years as Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson, middle-class African-American
parents in Brooklyn, N.Y., turn their cameras on their son, Idris, and his best friend, Seun, who make their way
through one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. Chronicling the boys' divergent paths from
kindergarten through high school graduation at Manhattan's Dalton School, this provocative, intimate
documentary presents complicated truths about America's struggle to come of age on issues of race, class and
opportunity.
TO BE ANNOUNCED.
Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go (2007) Directed by Kim Longinotto
Variety describes it as a film "mixing ferocity with tenderness, delicacy with tenacity" — exactly like the
unusual school it explores. In Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go, one of Britain's leading documentary filmmakers
takes a vérité look at Oxford's Mulberry Bush School for emotionally disturbed children. Mulberry's heroically
forbearing staff greets extreme, sometimes violent behavior with only consolation and gentle restraint. Kim
Longinotto's unblinking camera captures an arduous process and a nearly unhinged environment, but it also
records the daily dramas of troubled kids trying to survive and the moments of hope they achieve with
Mulberry's clear-eyed staff.
Thursday, November 21st at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
