LCES Weekly Update 9/23/22

LCES Families, 

We had such a great Homecoming Week!  Thank you all for your participation as we boosted school spirit with dress up days, a pep rally, and a float in the parade. We also want to say thank you to our high school cheerleaders and band for leading our students in the pep rally.  Go Panthers! 

October Count and Attendance:

As we move into October, it is extremely important that students are in attendance.  Monday, October 3rd is our October Count Day, which is when we determine the number of students in attendance for our funding.  Thank you so much for your support in having students here that day.  

SAFETY UPDATE:

We are very excited to have begun another great school year in Lake County! Here at LCSD our most important job is to keep your children safe. In our School Safety section on our website, we have important information about the tools and strategies we use to promote safe schools. This information is only to keep you informed, not to cause concern. We want you “Prepared, not scared”.

In addition to the steps we take to make our schools safe and secure, we also work hard to make sure our schools are welcoming to all students, families and community members. One of our commitments is that bullying has no place in our schools. In this Safety Section I have included a brochure documenting our bullying prevention program. This document outlines how we define bullying, and how we respond to a report of bullying behavior in one of our schools. Another commitment is to Title IX and Nondiscrimination. It is important that not only staff, but students as well understand their rights in these areas. More Information about Title IX and Nondiscrimination can also be found on the school district site at www.lakecountyschools.net or click HERE for the School Safety webpage.

Please watch for this information coming home to your mailing address or contact the district office for a hard copy.

Thank you,

Corbin Logan
