Message from the Principal

 

On behalf of the Lowell School Community I welcome you to the official James Russell Lowell web site. As principal of Lowell school for the past eight years, my mission is to foster a collaborative school community in which teachers, staff, and parents work in cooperative partnership to provide each and every child the chance to develop his or her talents to the fullest extent possible. I believe that every member of the school community can make a difference and support all students in their efforts to meet Lowell’s goals. These goals are for every student to develop grade level proficiencies in reading, writing, and math; to participate in a grade-level science program; to receive 100 minutes of weekly physical education instruction; and to embed the Six Pillars of Character into daily activities, which include participation in service learning projects.
 
I am proud of the fact that Lowell students continue to excel each year. Our API score increased to 935 for the 2008.2009 school year. In addition, Lowell earned the 2009 STAR award given by LBUSD to elementary schools that demonstrated significant API and AYP growth and positive achievement gains in all areas. In support of these efforts, Lowell offers a comprehensive, standards-based curriculum taught by 37 highly-qualified, fully credentialed teachers. Subjects include language arts, math, social studies, science, physical education, art, music, and character education. Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum, and all students enjoy working in the Lowell Learning Garden.
 
Also key to Lowell’s success are the many volunteers who share their time, talent and treasures. Through the efforts of the PTA and business partners, we are grateful  that Lowell is able to provide classroom field trips, to maintain the Learning Gardens, to implement a plan to upgrade classroom technology, and to offer such programs as Meet the Masters, weekly physical education support, and an after school foreign language program.
 
Although proud of our accomplishments, we strive to ensure that our daily instructional practices support the current needs of all our students. Our focus for the 2009.2010 school year is to ensure that our educational program provides appropriate rigor and challenge for all our students. We are committed to teaching every child, everyday.
If you have any questions concerning Lowell School  please contact the office, and we will be happy to speak with you.
 
Sincerely,
 
Laurie Murrin
Principal

Lowell & Naples Boundary Adjustment

A boundary adjustment was approved by the Board to balance the enrollment between the Lowell Elementary and the Naples Elementary Schools.  The boundary change will move students from the Lowell Elementary boundary south of 2nd Street, between Granada Avenue and 54th Street to the Naples Elementary boundary.  Current students attending Lowell Elementary may choose to continue to attend Lowell Elementary if desired, and siblings of Lowell students living within the proposed adjustment area may also choose to attend either Lowell or Naples Elementary Schools.
