Welcome back, #LCSfamily! We missed you this summer!
There are always nerves and first day jitters, but nothing eases our students and staff minds like being around each other and catching up after a summer away. The energy across the district was high, and our staff are determined to help our students keep their focus this year.
We are excited to see the ways that our teachers, staff, and community can pour into the lives of the children in our district, helping them develop the skills they need to be the civic leaders, employees, parents, and strength of our community for decades to come.
Welcome back students. We're ready to help you thrive. #LCSthrive
