Well, our scholars have been doing quite well for the first few weeks of school; however, we need them to be able to do their BEST! Their best can't be achieved without a little assistance from our parents and guardians. Don't forget to help them do their very best by making sure that they get their rest by going to bed at an appropriate time, eating healthier meals and snacks, spending extra time studying, and arriving to school on time and prepared. All of these things, as well as a few words of encouragement each morning, will help our scholars to always do their very best! GO PATRIOTS!!

This week in SSS, our students are learning about Sense of Belonging and Support Systems. Through age-appropriate activities, students will explore the importance of knowing who they can turn to for help at school and at home, how to ask for support, and how to be a supportive friend to others. Families can reinforce this lesson by talking with your child about the trusted adults and caring people they can count on whenever they need help, encouragement, or guidance.

Has your child experienced the loss of a parent, sibling, or close loved one? Camp MAGIK is offering a free healing camp for children and teens ages 6-18 who are coping with the death of a loved one. The camp provides professional grief counseling, peer support, and fun camp activities in a safe and supportive environment. The Fall 2026 session will be held October 2-4, 2026, in Clarkesville, GA. Applications are due September 21, 2026. Parent support opportunities are also available.

For more information or to apply, visit Camp MAGIK or contact 404-790-0140. Transportation assistance may be available based on family need.

We are proud to bring back our partnership with Chris180, one of the area's premiere mental health, child welfare and family service organizations, in empowering families and helping children overcome difficulties they may face. If you feel that your child may benefit from a deeper therapeutic interaction, please contact me for more information regarding their free services for our scholars.

September is Attendance Awareness Month! The LPES Counseling Department and Attendance Team would like to remind families about the importance of maintaining an exemplary attendance record. Help your child become an Attendance H.E.R.O.—Here Every Day, Ready to Learn, and On Time! Every school day matters, and consistent attendance helps students remain connected, confident, and successful. Families are invited to have our scholars participate in our exciting Attendance Spirit Week activities, including Team Day, Hat Day, College Day, Superhero Day, and School Spirit Day. Thank you for helping our scholars arrive at school on time and ready to learn each day!
