Hello LPOSD Families,

Welcome to the second semester! I hope you’re all as excited as we are for the upcoming months. First, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to our dedicated teachers. They recently wrapped up grading and provided valuable feedback to our students during our January 24 staff work day. We are truly blessed to have such a committed group of educators working in our district😇!

As the days get longer (thank you, winter solstice!), we hope your families are able to enjoy more outdoor adventures in our beautiful area. Our staff is energized and ready to guide your children through the second half of the school year, and we are looking forward to seeing phenomenal academic growth in the coming months.

SAVE THE DATE: Our annual Student Safety Summit: A Parent Awareness Program is scheduled for Tuesday, March 18 @ 5:30pm in the SHS Commons. The Summit seeks to improve the safety and well-being of students, staff and the community. This year, we are addressing the challenges technology is creating for today’s generation of kids, particularly how smartphones, social media, and apps are impacting critical thinking, concentration and student mental health. We will be diving into the landmark book The Anxious Generation, which explores how technology rewired a generation, as well as sharing real-life scenarios to increase parent awareness. Free dinner and childcare will once again be provided. Stay tuned for additional details as we get closer to the event.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership, bwm

Dr. Becky Meyer, Superintendent
