September 2024
Welcome back to all students and families in the district! The school bells ring again, and our current student enrollment of 1849 have answered the call! It is always a time filled with mixed emotions. Many students are glad to come back to routines and learning that excites them. Other students are less sure and need some early days to adjust and receive reassurances. I proudly share that our staff of 240 caring adults are poised and ready to provide the learning experiences and the support and encouragement our students will receive throughout our 2024-2025 academic year.
Our school year began with our three days of professional learning and preparation. We utilized our mission statement from our latest iteration of our comprehensive plan to guide our pre-service days. We coined our phrase: “We Belong- We Explore - We Learn,” and our professional staff at each building level examined the many ways we can purposely design and provide teaching and learning aligned to these three valued tenets. I am very proud of our focused work to make these lofty ideas our realized accomplishments.
I also share our LASD pride in several accolades referenced on our refreshed school website pages. We have earned recognition from US News Best Schools, NAMM (Best Communities for Music Education, and Niche Best Schools across all four buildings in the district. Our excellent administrators, teachers, and support staff all play their respective roles, and it is recognition well-earned and deserved.
I close this “opening” letter with new year energies, and with continued gratitude and appreciation for all stakeholders in our schools and our greater Lewisburg community. We are most fortunate to teach and learn with our wonderful students, encourage and support our families, and reap the benefits of a community that entrusts us to both educate and nurture our children. I can not imagine a greater mission!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cathy S. Moser
