Lamoille North District Update

Lamoille North Supervisory Union l November 13, 2026

Dear Lamoille North families, staff, and community members,

Winter doesn't seem quite ready to make its grand entrance here in Lamoille County, as stick season continues to hold on across our district! Despite forecasts suggesting we might see our first real taste of snow, this week's Nor'easter made its way up the New England coast without bringing much of anything to our corner of Vermont. While the snow brushes and shovels can stay tucked away for now, we know it's only a matter of time before winter makes its presence known.

Meanwhile, we're heading into the final full week before Thanksgiving break, and plenty is happening across Lamoille North! Our students and staff are working hard to wrap up projects, lessons, and activities before a well-deserved pause. Between harvest meals, concerts, performances, and other school celebrations, there are plenty of opportunities to come together and recognize all that's been accomplished this fall.

As we head into this busy stretch, thank you to our students, staff, and families for the energy and dedication you continue to bring to our schools. November’s finish line is in sight, and there's plenty to look forward to along the way!

Stay warm, have a great weekend, and happy reading!

Catherine Gallagher, M.Ed.
Superintendent of Schools
Lamoille North Supervisory Union

Earlier this fall, nearly 600 students, families, staff, and community members participated in our 2026 Lamoille North Community Survey. Their input gave us a clear picture of what our communities value about our schools, what we can improve, and what questions we have about how our district functions.

In response, we've put together a new resource: 'You Asked. We're Explaining.'

This FAQ responds to the most frequently asked questions and concerns raised in the survey, covering school budgets, academic opportunities, student supports, transportation, school safety, and more.

We've included separate sections reflecting the student and non-student views so we can provide clear, factual information, acknowledge the difficulties, and continue building understanding and transparency across our school communities.
