News From LCHS 5/16/25

by fvillarreal · May 15, 2025

Dear LCHS Families,.

This past Friday, our teachers and staff came together for a professional development day focused on planning for the 2025–2026 school year. These opportunities to reflect and collaborate are important as we work to strengthen school-wide systems, improve classroom routines, and design learning experiences that support every student.

We’re excited for what’s ahead. From more consistent expectations to deeper academic engagement and stronger connections with families, our planning laid important groundwork for the year to come. Our staff is energized by the shared commitment to keep growing, and we look forward to keeping you updated as our plans take shape.
