Hello LPOSD Families,
We are thrilled to welcome our students back to school next week! As our community says goodbye to another spectacular summer, excitement for the upcoming school year is building. Our goal is a smooth transition and supportive learning environment for every student who walks through our doors September 3rd.
This won't be the first (or last) time you hear this adage from LPOSD — EVERY student graduates a reader! Reading is essential for freedom and success, and our teachers are dedicated to providing the best instruction and encouragement for every student. We are proud to share that LPOSD was recently recognized as one of the top performing districts statewide on the Idaho Reading Indicator, a testament to the hard work of our students and teachers!
You will hear plenty of wonderful news rolling throughout the district this year. From the continued success of our "One Trusted Adult" initiative, to receiving more than $3.5 million to build a new Career Technical Education (CTE) center in the Sandpoint area, to adding another Campus Security Officer in our district, we have much to be thankful for and look forward to another great year of partnering with our parents. Enjoy the last beautiful weekend before school starts, bwm
