“Big Rock” Plan
“Big Rock” Strategy Name: The Lemon Bay Way
Three to Five Year “End in Mind” Vision Statement:
LemonBayHigh School will establish our core beliefs, as identified during the 2007-2008 school year by our staff and compiled by our Leadership Council, as our school culture with emphasis on professionalism and positive relationships. We refer to these core beliefs as The Lemon Bay Way.The Lemon Bay Way is a commitment to our students, staff, and community that focuses on building and fostering positive relationships among and between our “school family” and our “community family.” The Lemon Bay Way values these relationships and understands that they are an integral part of student success.Our vision is that LemonBayHigh School will infuse the Lemon Bay Way into the school culture in order to foster positive relationships among staff, students, and our community. This culture values communication, customer service, Manta Ray Pride, and the LemonBay “Family.”The Lemon Bay Way staff exemplifies professionalism, professional growth, and instruction that is rigorous, relevant, and research-based.
In order to nurture the Lemon Bay Way, all staff will be trained in “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” and will follow up in the spring with the “Seven Habits Maximizer” as a refresher.Additionally, the “Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens” is built into the 9th grade curriculum. Our belief is that integrating and following the “Seven Habits” philosophy will foster positive relationships among our staff and students and build effective communication skills.
Our Leadership Council will implement monthly C.A.S.E. (Collaborate and Share Everything) study groups that address our core beliefs and give teachers time to share ideas on instruction and work together on issues such as increasing student attendance and decreasing the student dropout rate. Groups will present and share research-based strategies, lesson plans, and activities that promote student achievement.All LBHS faculty will participate in these study groups which will take place before school from 7:30am-8:15am.
Academic teams will collaborate and discuss progress-monitoring test data, differentiated instruction with standards-driven lesson plans, and the social, emotional, and academic needs of students in an effort to increase individual student achievement. Facultyteaching the same courseswill collaborate with one another to create common formative and end of course standards-based assessments.
LBHS S.A.T. (Student Assistance Team) members will meet on a bi-weekly basis to identify potential dropouts and will monitor these students throughout the school year. The S.A.T. will include the school social worker, assistant principals, guidance counselors, deans, and selected teachers. The social worker and guidance counselors at LBHS will meet with students who are considering dropping out to discuss alternatives and options.

This includes: all faculty, counselors, deans, and assistant principals as well as Manta Mentors, a social worker, clerical and support staff, the technology facilitator, school resource officers, parents, and community members.
