TITAN TALK | JUNE 3, 2026

TITAN NATION,

Summer Break has officially arrived, bringing warmer weather, family adventures, well-deserved relaxation, and opportunities to make lasting memories.

Although our hallways may be quieter for the season, the Titan spirit never takes a vacation!

Throughout the summer months, Lorain City Schools will continue offering programs, camps, meals, enrichment opportunities, and community resources designed to keep our students learning, growing, and thriving.

Whether you're exploring a new summer camp, participating in one of our district programs, or simply looking for helpful resources for your family, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Be sure to check out the opportunities highlighted below and stay connected with us throughout the summer.

Have a safe, fun, and unforgettable summer, Titans. We can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish!

Thanks to the support of our community and the passage of Issue 5, Lorain City Schools is keeping its commitment to students and families by restoring several programs and positions that were previously slated for reduction.

Because of your investment in our schools, Lorain City Schools will continue offering:

• All-Day Preschool, providing our youngest learners with a strong foundation for future success.
• Dedicated Elementary School Counselors in each of our eight traditional elementary schools, ensuring students continue to receive critical academic, social, and emotional support.
• Middle School Dance Programming, one of the arts programs most valued by students and families.
• Seven Kindergarten Paraprofessionals, allowing every kindergarten classroom to have additional support for students and teachers.
• Student Clubs, Committees, and Supplemental Programs, helping students stay connected, engaged, and involved beyond the classroom.

These restorations represent more than programs and positions. They represent opportunities, relationships, support systems, and experiences that help our students thrive.

Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your commitment to the future of Lorain City Schools. Together, we are delivering on the promises we made to our community and continuing to invest in the success of every Titan.

Lorain City Schools will implement several schedule adjustments for next school year.

✅ All Day Preschool
No changes to preschool start or dismissal times.

✅ Elementary Schools
No changes to elementary start or dismissal times.

✅ Middle Schools
First period will now begin at 8:50 a.m.
Dismissal will remain at 3:30 p.m.

✅ Lorain High School
Instructional periods will increase from 50 to 55 minutes. As a result, the LHS school day will begin at 7:07 a.m. and end at 2:30 p.m.

These changes are necessary to align with contractual requirements, support our financial recovery plan, and continue providing strong instructional opportunities for students.

We understand schedule adjustments impact family routines and appreciate your continued support and flexibility as we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year.

More information will be shared with families as we get closer to the start of school.

Lorain City Schools is proud to announce Roshelle Dewey as the inaugural Director of our new Frank Jacinto School of Autism, launching in the 2026-2027 school year!
