 IES backpacks

On Wednesday, April 17th, over 30 students at Independence Elementary School received backpacks from the B.L.A.S.T. (Backpacks Launching Academic Success for Tomorrow) program. The First United Methodist Church of Hammond along with many sponsors and donors were able to supply these backpacks to many children throughout the Tangipahoa
Parish School System and Head Start programs. The supplies are to help
the students during the summer continue to learn through reading, coloring and
having fun together. Pictured are Jose Martinez, Scotlyn Merritt, Shawniya Martin, Angela Garcia, Kamryen Miller, Jesus Martinez, and Karlyia Jackson from Mrs. Denise Savoy’s Kindergarten class.

Tangi Happenings

Check out what's going on all around Tangipahoa Parish School System.
 

Common Core State Standards Initiative

With approximately  46 states  adopting the Common Core State Standards, the Louisiana Department of Education and the Tangipahoa Parish School System has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform education in our  state and district and improve our student’s opportunities to compete globally. Currently, for too many students drop out or graduate from high school without the knowledge and skills required for success, closing doors and limiting their post-high school options. The Tangipahoa Parish School System is committed to increasing the number of students who earn high school diplomas and enroll in college or have a career after graduation. Implementing the Common Core State Standards is a critical step toward ensuring that all students in the Tangipahoa Parish School System receive the education they need to become College or Career Ready.

HJHMS Lapbooks

Creating Lapbooks at HJHMS

Abrille Dixon's classes at Hammond Junior High Magnet School are currently working on a lapbook project demonstrating what they have learned about the Moroccan Market based on the Moroccan Market Writing Prompt. On their lapbook, each student must include a mini foldable, a paragraph about a personal travel or shopping experience that was similar to going to the Moroccan Market, and at least three vocabulary words with definitions. They are encouraged to make the lapbook as colorful and creative as possible and to make sure their lapbook appeals to as many of the five senses as possible.
