Letter from the Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians!
In this Issue
I love this time of year because we slow down enough to reflect on the past as we
make plans for the future. My holidays were spent with my family and I enjoyed
Principal Letter…….………..Page 1 every minute! But, when they left and the decorations were removed, I began
Principal Letter Spanish…...Page 2 cleaning out closets and drawers. Anything that was not working for me anymore
was “out” and I began the search for things that would work better.
Names & Dates………….…Page 3
That is exactly what we constantly ask our teachers to do. Reflect on what is working
and not working in the classroom. We know that society and our students are
Texas Education Agency changing…and so are we! Constantly researching, piloting and improving is the goal.
School Repot Card………Pages 4-6 I am proud to boast that others recognize our success! On December 1st and
January 10th, Langham Creek hosted seventy CFISD district leaders as we were
Parenting Skills Series.…Page 7
selected to be a 21st Century Showcase campus. What does that mean?
st th
School & District News….Pages 8-9 21 Century learning is not new. We are starting our 12 year in this millennium!
Delivery Policy However, many in education have yet to join us in this new century of rapidly
Leaving School Early changing technologies, global economies, and the shifting career market. Langham
V.O.E.
is at the forefront in preparing our students not just for college, but for the myriad of
VIPS
opportunities that await our students in the future! Research tells us that we are
Counselor’s Corner…..Pages 10-12 preparing students NOW for jobs that do not even exist yet. Some find that
frightening…I find it exhilarating!
Academically, 21st century learning still focuses on the 3 R’s (Reading, Writing, and
News & Events…........Pages 12-19
Arithmetic), but it also reflects the needs of our nation as we find our world shrinking
with the rapidly changing technology environment. The framework for 21st Century
Athletic Calendars……Pages 20-24 Learning Skills also focuses on the “Seven C’s” (Trilling, 21st Century Skills: Learning
for Life in Our Times.) Those C’s include: critical thinking; creativity and innovation;
collaboration; cross-cultural understanding; communication; computing technology;
and career learning. The 7 C’s multiplied by the 3 R’s equals 21st century learning!
Some of you have already received a letter describing our “Standards-Based
Grading” pilot that is being introduced in several of our content areas this semester.
This pilot is action research founded on research-based practice that has been
successful in other classrooms and districts. Our goal as always is student
LEARNING and we hope to see results this year that will help us make future
decisions about our direction as a campus and district.
Thank you as always for your continuous support! I love seeing you at all our myriad
of events! As you know our fine arts programs and athletics teams are some of the
best in the district! Don’t sit and watch the sad stories on the news! Come out and
see our kids shine! You’ll be glad you did!
Wishing you the best in 2011!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Johns

Letter from the Principal
Estimados padres y tutores legales:
A mí me encanta esta época del año porque las cosas se tranquilizan lo suficiente como para
reflexionar en el pasado y hacer planes para el futuro. Yo pasé las vacaciones con mi familia y ¡las
disfruté hasta el último minuto! Pero después que todos se habían ido y se habían quitado todas las
decoraciones, me puse a limpiar armarios y cajoneras. Me deshice de todas las cosas que ya no
me servían y comencé a buscar cosas que podrían venirme mejor.
Eso es exactamente lo que constantemente les pedimos a nuestros maestros que hagan;
reflexionar en lo que está funcionando o no está funcionando en el salón de clase. Reconocemos
que la sociedad y nuestros estudiantes están cambiando… ¡y nosotros también! La meta es estar
constantemente investigando, experimentado y mejorando. ¡Me enorgullece alardear que otros
reconocen nuestro éxito! El 1ro de diciembre y el 10 de enero, Langham Creek sirvió de anfitriona a
setenta líderes de CFISD al haber ser seleccionada para ser una escuela 21st Century Showcase.
¿Qué significa esto?
El aprendizaje del Siglo XXI no es nuevo. ¡Hemos comenzado nuestro 12mo año en este milenio! Sin
embargo, muchos en el campo educativo aún no se nos han unido en este nuevo siglo de
tecnologías rápidamente cambiantes, economías globales y el cambiante mercado profesional.
Langham está a la vanguardia preparando a sus estudiantes no solo para la universidad, ¡sino
también para las miles de oportunidades que les esperan en el futuro! Los estudios indican que
estamos preparando a nuestros estudiantes AHORA para trabajos que aún ni existen. Algunos
piensan que es esto es algo aterrador… ¡yo creo que es muy emocionante!
Académicamente, el aprendizaje del siglo XXI aún se centra en las “3 Rs” (Lectura, Escritura y
Aritmética, por sus siglas en inglés), pero también refleja la necesidad de nuestra nación al ver a
nuestro mundo volviéndose más pequeño debido al ambiente tecnológico en rápido crecimiento. El
marco para las Destrezas del Aprendizaje del Siglo XXI se centra también en las “Siete Cs” (Libro:
Trilling, 21st Century Skills: Learning for Life in Our Times). Esas siete Cs incluyen: razonamiento
crítico; creatividad e innovación; colaboración; comprensión multicultural; comunicación; tecnología
de computación: y aprendizaje profesional. El resultado de las 7 Cs multiplicadas por las 3 Rs ¡es el
aprendizaje del Siglo 21!
Algunos de ustedes ya han recibido una carta describiendo nuestro sistema piloto de “Calificaciones
basadas en los estándares” a implementarse este semestre en varias de nuestras áreas de
contenido. Este sistema piloto basado en investigaciones ha sido muy exitoso en otros salones de
clase y otros distritos. Como de costumbre, nuestra meta es el APRENDIZAJE estudiantil y este
año esperamos ver resultados que nos ayuden a tomar decisiones futuras acerca de nuestra
dirección a seguir como escuela y como distrito.
Como siempre, ¡muchas gracias por su continuo apoyo! ¡Me gusta mucho verlos a todos en
nuestros tantos eventos! Ya todos saben que nuestros programas de Bellas artes y de
Atletismo/Deportes son unos de los mejores del distrito. ¡No se quede en casa a ver las tristes
noticias en los noticieros! ¡Venga a ver relucir a nuestros niños! ¡Se alegrará de haberlo hecho!
¡Les deseo lo mejor en el 2011!
Atentamente,
Cheryl Johns

Delivery Policy
Dear Lobo Parents:
As always, our main concern at LCHS is the safety and education of your student. It is our goal to
support the CFISD policy, protecting student instructional time as mandated by law.
We will not accept any monetary items at the front desk. This includes checks for
fundraisers and clinics your child may be attending. If you need to give your student
money during the school day, you must sign in at the front desk, go to the attendance
office and wait until the last five minutes of class time for your student to be sent a
note. When the student comes to the attendance office, you may hand him/her the
money.
We will not accept any floral or balloon deliveries under any circumstances for
students.
Messages will not be sent to students telling them to come and pick up items at the
front desk. If your student has forgotten something such as lunch, gym clothes,
assignments, etc., you may leave it at the front desk. Your student may stop by the
front desk to pick it up at any time during the day.
Any valuable item left at the front desk is left at your own risk. We are not responsible
for cameras, clothing, tennis racquets, etc.
All items not retrieved by the end of the week will either be thrown out (if it is food) or
put in the lost and found (if it is clothing or other school items).
Messages will not be delivered to a classroom to have a student call home. If
you have a true emergency, your call will be routed to the student’s assistant
principal for them to get the child out of class. Please be advised that telling
your student to ride the bus home or walk home or where you are picking them
up does not constitute a true emergency.
If your student has a scheduled appointment to leave campus, please send a note in
the morning with your student to take to the attendance office before school. The
attendance office will issue the student a pass to leave class at the designated time.
For an unscheduled appointment, you will need to go to the attendance office, or you
may send a fax for the student to be released. The information on the note should
include the student’s name, time of release, your signature, phone number, and a copy
of your driver’s license. The fax # is 281-345-3153.
There are no phones for student use in the front office. Pay phones in the commons
are available for use during the school day.
Thank you for your cooperation regarding these standards. Our staff looks forward to another
successful semester with your student.

Counselor’s Corner
The counseling office staff welcomes the opportunity to meet with parents and students. Since the counselors
are often meeting with students and teachers or presenting guidance lessons in the classroom, please call and
leave a message on their voice mail if you would like an appointment to see them or have them call you back.
Did you know that each day during all lunches counselors from the Counseling Office are available in the
Commons? Students have the opportunity to ask a quick question, pick up registration materials for ACT, SAT,
THEA and other related tests, and submit requests to see his/her counselor. One of the major benefits of
Counselors’ Corner is that it does not require a student to miss valuable instruction time, yet provides access to
having questions answered which can propel that student in high school and post-secondary planning.

Langham Creek High School Band and Color Guard
Some of you may have been watching the All-American Bowl Game on NBC last weekend, where the
brightest high school Seniors from across the US are assembled. But what you probably didn’t know
was that Langham Seniors Alex Pena and Kendall Precup were performing at halftime!
These two Senior members of the Lobo Colorguard recently returned from San Antonio, where they
spent the first week of 2011 as members of the All-American Marching Band’s Colorguard. Selected
from over 1,000 applicants, these remarkable young performers were able to work alongside the most
talented high school Seniors in the country, learning an entire 6 minute halftime show in just 22 hours
of rehearsal over the course of 4 days.
Like the football team, band and colorguard Seniors were recruited for this all-star cast based on
talent, training, academic excellence and community service records. Performers were flown in and
housed all week at the Grand Hyatt, taught by some of the best instructors in the country and
mentored by Army officers in the areas of leadership and personal excellence.
Lobo Colorguard Director Tim Newburn just finished his fourth year as the Head Colorguard Coach for
this prestigious event and was able to witness Alex and Kendall in action. “I am so proud of these two
amazing young women. There they were, in the middle of the best of the best, and still leading the
way in terms of work ethic, rehearsal etiquette and team spirit. They represented the Langham way
in every sense.”
