LPUMS Passes Inspection
HEALTH & SAFETY—Luis P. Untalan Middle School was evaluated by health inspectors from the Department of Public Health and Social Services on Aug. 14, the day before the first day of classes. In the past weeks before that date, the school community had worked tirelessly to get the campus in top shape—with many volunteering their time and money to make sure all demerits were addressed. The following week, LPUMS received it's passing grade. Great job, wildcats!
Security Solutions Volunteers Services
SECURITY—For the first week of classes at Luis P. Untalan Middle School, personnel from PMI Security Solutions volunteered to help students walk safely across five lanes of traffic and visibly direct motorists to stop during the morning rush hour in front of our school. Thank you to the men and women of PMI Security Solutions for volunteering their time and services!
Wildcats hold Professional Development
CPR & AED—The faculty and staff of Luis P. Untalan Middle School actively supported a new law that would help save lives on campus and during school-related activities. Headed by School Health Counselor Jocelyn Sabinay, school employees trained in CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation), first aid, and using the AED (the automated external defibrillator) in several sessions from Aug. 6 to 12. Public Law 37-25 requires that all schools and school-related activities must have availability to an AED. Nurse Sabinay said it is her goal to get all employees trained and certified. LPUMS now has a Code Blue Activation SOP, lead by the School Emergency Team, that will be activated in cases of medical emergencies such as when a student or school employee experiences cardiac arrest.
WEREAD. LITERACY PROGRAM—On August 7, the school community gathered for an all-day professional development session at the Tasi Ballroom of the Nikko Hotel to launch an innovative literacy initiative set to begin at LPUMS this year. Madrid Borja, an 8th-grade Reading teacher and Program Coordinator, developed the WeRead. Literacy Program and secured a four-year grant under the Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Program. The initial phase of WeRead. focuses on preparing the school community for successful implementation. Along with 8th grade Language Arts teacher and Assistant Coordinator, Haane Leon Guerrero, Mrs. Borja led the school community through several engaging presentations and breakout sessions. Instructional Coaches Patrick Lujan and Melissa Duenas also assisted with breakout sessions. WeRead. WeConnect. WeShare.
