This week, we join schools and communities across the nation in celebrating American Education Week, a tradition that began more than a century ago when the National Education Association and the American Legion came together after World War I to call for stronger public support for education. πΊπΈ Their efforts led to the first observance in 1921, and today the week is co-sponsored by national education organizations dedicated to supporting students, staff, and schools. πβ¨
Throughout the year, weβre proud to celebrate important recognition days for many of our team membersβprincipals, administrative assistants, teachers, and more. βοΈ But we also know that some of our employees donβt have a dedicated day of appreciation, even though their work is just as essential to the success of our schools. πΌβ€οΈ
So during American Education Week, LCPS is shining a special spotlight on these staff members who work hard every day to support our students, ensuring that they receive the best education possible and have their needs met on every level. ππ From directors to coordinators to our superintendent and so many others, we are grateful for everything they do to lift up our students and strengthen our school community. ππ
Thank you for helping us fulfill the vision that inspired American Education Week over 100 years ago. ππ
Together for Safe, Just & Equitable Schools. #aew2025

#AttendanceAwarenessMonth #LCPSAttendance #HereTodayReadyforTomorrow

When students show up, they grow up stronger, smarter, and more prepared for the future. Chronic absenteeism doesn't just hurt grades. It hurts opportunities.
π Improving graduation rates, boosting achievement, and building brighter futures starts with one simple step: showing up.
Letβs work together to help every student show up, stay engaged, and succeed in school and in life. πͺπ½
π Join the movement. Be part of the solution. Support school attendance in your community today!
#AttendanceAwarenessMonth #EveryDayCounts #StrongerTogether #HereTodayReadyForTomorrow

At LCPS, we know that strong, trusting relationships between families, students, and educators create a true sense of belonging. And when students feel like they belong, attendance and engagement soar!
π‘ Did you know? Chronic absence often decreases when families:
βοΈ Understand what their children are learning
βοΈ Feel welcomed, supported, and connected to their school
Thatβs why weβre proud to celebrate Attendance Awareness during September! Together, letβs ensure every child is present, engaged, and thriving. π
β¨ When students show up, they grow up strong β in learning, confidence, and community.
Letβs keep building the connections that make every day matter!
#AttendanceAwarenessMonth #StrongerTogether #EveryDayCounts #HereTodayReadyforTomorrow


πΈ Research shows:
πStudents who are chronically absent in 6th grade fall behind academically compared to their peers.
πBy high school, a chronically absent student is 7.4 times more likely to drop out.
Every day in class matters. Letβs work together to keep our students present, engaged, and on the path to success! π
#AttendanceAwarenessMonth #HereTodayReadyforTomorrow

Letβs help our students build the habit of showing up every day, starting early! πβ¨
Did you know? Kids who miss too much school in Pre-K & Kindergarten are less likely to be reading on grade level by 3rd grade.
Letβs work together to give them the best start possible, because every day counts! πͺβ€οΈ
