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. ๐บ๐ธ 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. ๐โจ
Throughout the year, weโre proud to celebrate important recognition days for many of our team membersโprincipals, administrative assistants, teachers, and more. โ๏ธ But we also know that some of our employees donโt have a dedicated day of appreciation, even though their work is just as essential to the success of our schools. ๐ผโค๏ธ
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. ๐๐ 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. ๐๐
Thank you for helping us fulfill the vision that inspired American Education Week over 100 years ago. ๐๐
Together for Safe, Just & Equitable Schools. #aew2025



Tonight's School Board Meeting will still be held at CHS, but will be in the Cafeteria instead of Room 104.

#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!
๐ก Did you know? Chronic absence often decreases when families:
โ๏ธ Understand what their children are learning
โ๏ธ Feel welcomed, supported, and connected to their school
Thatโs why weโre proud to celebrate Attendance Awareness during September! Together, letโs ensure every child is present, engaged, and thriving. ๐
โจ When students show up, they grow up strong โ in learning, confidence, and community.
Letโs keep building the connections that make every day matter!

๐ธ Research shows:
๐Students who are chronically absent in 6th grade fall behind academically compared to their peers.
๐By high school, a chronically absent student is 7.4 times more likely to drop out.
Every day in class matters. Letโs work together to keep our students present, engaged, and on the path to success! ๐
#AttendanceAwarenessMonth #HereTodayReadyforTomorrow

Letโs help our students build the habit of showing up every day, starting early! ๐โจ
