Welcome back to a new school year!
L’Anse Creuse Public
Schools officially kicked-off
the start of the 2013-2014
school year with our Annual
“Opening Day” professional
development program for
staff on August 28. Speakers
including, former Board
President and current
Board Trustee Ken Hoover,
Superintendent Jackie
Johnston, and special guest,
Master Teacher Dr. Adolph
Brown, were present to
welcome back staff.
Dr. Brown, an internationally
recognized authority on
educational excellence,
emphasized during his
presentation, that any student can
be a successful learner.
He explained that, as educators,
we cannot assume the character
of our students by the way
they present themselves on the
outside. To illustrate this concept,
Dr. Brown disguised himself in
disheveled street clothes and
mingled with attendees before the
presentation. Once revealing his
true identity on stage, he inquired
whether his attire affected our
opinion of him.
Dr. Brown also discussed what
he believes are two types of
individuals; “basement people,”
who are negative and look for
opportunities to be offended,
and “balcony people,” who rise to
the challenge, are encouraging
and positive. He insisted that
educators must be “balcony
people.” Building on this principle,
Principal is the Face of
EMU Campaign
Nina Davis, principal of L’Anse Creuse Middle
School – East, was selected to be a face of Eastern
Michigan University’s (EMU) TRUEMU campaign.
The campaign will feature light-post banners around
the EMU campus and billboards across the
state. A total of 12 EMU alumni were selected
for billboards; each choose an individual power
statement and photo showcasing their success
and career post graduation. Davis’ phrase is
“I am an agent for change.” She was selected
because of her passion to change community
he explained that all school
staff have the responsibility
of, as he states, “walking
a tightrope between two
skyscrapers while pushing a
wheelbarrow; meaning it is
our job to place all students
into the wheelbarrow and
help them across. Eventually
with our help, students can
get out of the wheelbarrow
and walk the tightrope
themselves.”
To accomplish this, staff
must work as a team, and
create meaningful, productive
relationships with all students.
Dr. Brown concluded his
presentation by stating, “we
should not judge the character of
our students by how they enter
our class, but rather judge them
by how they leave our class at the
end of the year.”
Staff left the opening day,
rejuvenated with his inspiring
message and eager to incorporate
these principles into their work
with students.
through education and was recognized as being the
first African American principal in L’Anse Creuse
Public Schools.
“I am absolutely honored and proud to represent
Eastern Michigan University!” said Davis.
“I received a great education (Undergraduate and
Graduate) from EMU and could not have asked for
better professors!”
I AM AN AGENT FOR
CHANGE.

spotlight
This is my favorite time of year. And
while perhaps you heard a groan when
you woke your child on their first day back to school,
I know most kids are eager to be back. Why wouldn’t
they be? At school they see their friends, participate
in extracurricular activities, learn from exceptional
teachers and are guided and nurtured by a staff
that truly cares about them. And what makes public
education so unique is the opportunity for a fresh
start each September.
Our students are being prepared for an exciting
future, a future bright with opportunities for those
who master high level knowledge and skills. To help
meet these expectations students are supported with
tremendous resources including new technologies
and highly qualified teachers utilizing evidenced
based instructional strategies. The research notes
(and our hearts tell us) that much of our student’s
success rests on the relationships we build;
relationships between our staff and our students,
relationships between our staff and our parents,
and relationships between our schools and our
community. We are so fortunate to have wonderful
families and wonderful communities as partners.
By showing an interest in your child’s school work,
ensuring good school attendance, monitoring
completion of homework, and modeling healthy
habits at home, you have a significant influence on
your child’s success.
While you will find our buildings and staff warm
and welcoming we remain focused on the work we do
to help all students master the high level skills our
students need to be successful in the future of their
dreams. But for some of us, the definition of skills for
success may mean something different than when
we were in high school. Tony Wagner, in his book
the Global Achievement Gap, talks about the skills
our students will need in today’s global economy,
they are 1) critical thinking and problem solving, 2)
collaboration, 3) agility and adaptability, 4) initiative
and entrepreneurialism, 5) effective oral and
written communication, 6) assessing and analyzing
information and 7) curiosity and imagination. To
master these seven skills we need to place greater
focus on depth versus breadth in the curriculum.
With the continued implementation of the Common
Core State Standards this year, we are ready.
I am looking forward to an exceptional year, strong
partnerships with parents and the community, great
kids giving their very best, comprehensive academic
and extracurricular programs and many, many
opportunities for student success. Have a great year.

Enrollment Fair
On August 6, the district held their third annual
school enrollment fair for new residents at the Harry
L. Wheeler Community Center and Administrative
Offices. The enrollment fair is designed to encourage
new L’Anse Creuse residents to enroll before the
first day of school in order to facilitate the proper
assignment to classes. Parents and students
who attended had the opportunity to familiarize
themselves with the services and resources offered
through the school district, pick up registration
packets and enroll their child(ren) onsite. Each new
student received a free book and a backpack filled
with school supplies. Preschool information and
details regarding School Age Child Care (SACC)
were also available.
“It was great; so many kids walked out with
the resources needed to start the school year,”
said Timm Couto, Coordinator of Student and
Information Services. “A lot of hard work went into
the event, and it was evident!”
A special thank you to the following organizations
who donated their time and supplies to make this
event possible: Sodexo for donating water and
snacks, Kensington Church, St. Hubert Parish,
Kerr Albert, Printing by Johnson and Northside
Church all contributed supplies to fill backpacks,
Kohl’s Cares in Chesterfield provided five event
volunteers and $500, and the L’Anse Creuse
Educational Foundation donated $1000 to
purchase books.

Intermediate School District co-hosted the second
annual “Keeping Students Safe, Super Thursday
Special Needs Training” on July 18 attended by
districts from around Michigan and neighboring
states. This all day safety event trained school
employees in proper and safe techniques for
serving students and offered an opportunity for
practice drills for first responders. Presentations
and activities included crash testing products,
accident investigations, a mock courtroom
trial and a mock school bus crash. In addition,
small group sessions focused on special needs
transportation and bus evacuation, medical
jargon, wheelchair securement, car seat and
safety vest securement, seizure treatment, and
conducting proper investigations. Thank you to the many organizations involved in this safety training
event including University of Michigan, Michigan State University, St. Clair County Regional Educational
Service Agency, Clinton and Macomb Township Fire Departments, Medstar Ambulance, Clinton Township
Police Department, Survival Flight, Life Net, Q’Straint, Sure-Lok and the L’Anse Creuse transportation

Bond Update
L’Anse Creuse Public Schools continues to “Deliver the
Promise” of the 2005 Bond by continuing renovations over
the summer to provide a venue that engages all students
in meaningful, rigorous learning communities. The district
believes that positive learning outcomes happen in quality
learning environments.
L’Anse Creuse Middle School – North completed a two-year
building renovation project. This summer, new band and choir
rooms were built to provide a quality facility for the performing
arts program. A new workroom and support personnel
offices were constructed. To complete the addition of a new
gymnasium, locker rooms were remodeled.
Students at L’Anse Creuse Middle School – East will return
to new carpeting in the halls and computer labs. Science labs
were retiled and the stage was resurfaced.
As the district embraces new, rigorous instructional
practices, L’Anse Creuse High School construction focused
on creating a facility that enhances teaching models and
creates an environment that maximizes student engagement
and academic
success. A new
computer lab
was designed to
accommodate
the new, online foreign
language
program.
The 2nd floor
received new
LCHS Second Floor
tile, carpet,
lockers, cabinetry, windows, paint, lights and HVAC units. The
media center and surrounding offices received new carpet. This
completes a two-year renovation of this building.
At the Frederick V. Pankow Center, you will see new ceramic
tile, carpet and cabinetry. A new paint booth, funded through
a Career and Technical Education grant, was installed in the
auto body shop.
New roofs were installed at the Frederick V. Pankow Center,
Donald J. Yacks and Tenniswood Elementary schools.
Ever vigilant of building safety, this summer marked the
final installation phase of overhead fire suppression sprinklers
in all facilities.
Student Accident Insurance
Effective July 1, 2013, L’Anse Creuse Public Schools does not
provide accident insurance for students. As a service to our
students and their families, L’Anse Creuse Public Schools has a
student plan that a family can purchased each school year at a
nominal cost. Families with uninsured students or who have primary
insurance with high deductibles and co-pays, may wish to review
plan information. Families with students who are participating
in interscholastic sports may also wish to review plan offerings.
Information regarding plan offerings is available on the district’s
web site, at www.lc-ps.org >Parents>Community Help tab.

Middle School - North New Band Room
In 2005, the L’Anse Creuse community voted
to approve a $210 million bond for renovations,
remodeling, new construction, technology and
more. It is only through the combined efforts
and support of our community, parents, and
staff that L’Anse Creuse has been able to
maintain its success and provide a wonderful
place for children to learn.
Thank you for your continued support in
providing the resources to make L’Anse Creuse
Public Schools an exemplary school district!
Middle School - East Carpet
Medication
For every child’s protection, medications (over-the-counter or
prescribed) are to be kept in the office. All medication must
remain in the original prescribed container and labeled with
student’s name and dosage instructions. A district medication form
must be completed by the parent giving
specific instructions and permission for the
medication to be given. Medication must be
delivered by the parent to the office. Any
unused medication must be picked up by a
parent. No medications may be transported
on the bus.
Lunch Price Changes
The Federal Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act mandates that School
Food Authorities annually increase their paid meal prices under certain
circumstances. The legislation requires schools to charge a Weighted
Average Price of $2.59 or more in the 2013-2014 school year. In order to
comply with this law we are required to increase our prices. After careful
calculations and a comparison to neighboring districts, the changes noted
below will be implemented for the 2013-2014 school year.
Current Price
Revised Price Elementary $2.30 $2.35 Middle School $2.60 $2.70 High School $2.70 $2.75 Tier Pricing*

SCHOOL YEAR
Vision:
*Tier pricing allows for meals at the high schools that are more specialized
in nature, including made to order wraps and stir-fry. These specialized
meals are offered to the free and reduced students at no extra charge.
Our priority is to keep students fueled on healthy foods to ensure they are
ready to learn, while attempting to maintain affordable prices for
your family.

Public Notice:
Pest Management
Program
L’Anse Creuse Public Schools would
like to inform you that an Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) approach for
controlling insects, rodents and weeds
will be used at all buildings within the
district. Pest inspections will be performed
on a monthly basis, and a notice will be
posted at the main doors 72 hours prior
to inspection. Through maintenance and
cleaning, we will reduce or eliminate
available food and water sources and
hiding places for the pests. We will also
routinely monitor the school area to
detect pest problems and prevent the
pests from becoming established. Some
IPM techniques we will employ include
monitoring, increasing sanitation, sealing
entry points, physically removing pests
and modifying storage practices.
From time to time, it may be necessary
to use chemicals to control a pest
problem. Chemicals will only be used
when necessary and will not be routinely

Student and Family Rights Concerning School Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parent(s)/guardian(s) and students over 18 years
of age (“eligible students”) certain rights with respect to the student’s education records. They are:
1. The right to inspect and copy the student’s education records within 45 school days of the day the district receives a request for access (more at http://www.lc-ps.org/Administration/
LegalNotices/).
2. The right to request the amendment of the
student’s education records that the parent(s)/ guardian(s) or eligible student believes are
inaccurate, misleading or an invasion of privacy (more at http://www.lc-ps.org/
Administration/LegalNotices/).
3. The right to permit disclosure of personally
identifiable information contained in the student’s
education records, except to the extent that the
FERPA or Michigan law authorizes disclosure without consent.
4. The right to be informed that, pursuant to
federal law and state mandate, records of suspension or expulsion action against the
student are considered to be a part of the
“student record” and the district is required
to transfer those records pertaining to
suspension or expulsion to any public or private
school in which the student has enrolled within
30 days of the date of the request from the other school.

persons if the knowledge of such
information is necessary to protect the
health or safety of the student or
other persons.
