School attendance is important because consistent attendance directly drives academic progress, creates important social skills, and builds lifelong habits of responsibility needed for trade schools, colleges, and future job success. Missing school may create learning gaps that become hard to close. We hope that each of our students will grow and flourish into successful contributors within both our schools and our wider community! #LCisHome

Take a moment to explore the latest happenings within our school district! This publication highlights each of our LC Board of Education meetings. Be sure to keep an eye out for highlighted features of each of our schools and their students throughout the year!
As we begin this school year, we celebrated our school district's summer achievements! The board presented the LC Food Service staff with certificates for providing over 57,000 meals to our LC families. Blaine Middle School celebrated with an open house to welcome the STAR Academy, which awarded a $1,000,000 grant to enhance 7th- and 8th-grade classes. The Back-to-School luncheon was also a profound success, uniting our teachers and staff throughout the district. The Lawrence County Professional Learning Conference 7.0 (LCPLC) offered sessions that taught positive, proven teaching techniques.
As we kick-start the new school year, we are excited to announce the start of design schematics and renovation work for Louisa East and the new Louisa West (formerly the LC Community Center). This initiative will create space for a first-grade wing at LEES. Additionally, our LWES preschool and kindergarten will transition into their newly renovated building. We can’t wait to provide these upgraded facilities to our students and families!
Stay tuned for more news from LC Schools! As a reminder, our next regular board meeting is scheduled for September 21st at the LCHS library. #LCisHome







A quick reminder to parents and guardians that breakfast and lunch are free of charge every day at all schools throughout the school district! Also, you can always check the FREE LC Schools App or through our website! #LCisHome



If you've recently traveled along Bulldog Lane between Louisa Middle School and LCHS, you may have noticed some excavation work conducted by our LC School Maintenance Department!

We value the dedication of our maintenance staff and appreciate their swift progress on this important project for our students. #LCisHome

The Lawrence County Schools middle school band program is delighted to share that it has been awarded
the Smith-Steele Reese grant, amounting to $48,000. This generous funding will enable the middle school band programs at Blaine, Fallsburg, and Louisa Middle to acquire 18 instruments for each school. The most essential instruments needed include clarinets, flutes, and trumpets.
Our LC Band Instructor, Mr. Scott Smith, shared, “I am so pleased that the foundation chose to honor our request. This award provides more equitable accessibility for our students to participate in instrumental music. Instrumental music is a strong part of a school culture, provides opportunities to excel academically, and reinforces social and emotional stability. I am grateful for this opportunity to make this investment in our kids. It's a win for Lawrence County Schools and a win for music education.”

We are also sharing our updated attendance policies! Please take a moment to read the 26-27 LC School Attendance Policy! New for the 26-27 school year: After (10) medical excuses, the Medical Excuse Form MUST be completed and approved to receive additional medical excuses.
We are excited to welcome students back to their classrooms on Wednesday, August 12th!
