📚 Yesterday, some of LRSD's educators gathered at the Novice Teacher Bootcamp to connect with leaders and peers. They received targeted content support and practical strategies to enhance student success. Excited to see them put these strategies into action! 🎉

Greetings 7th & 8th grade parents,
Next week's Parent Meeting scheduled for Friday, August 9th is an opportunity for families to visit the campus, retrieve their tentative schedules, and receive LRSD/PHMS updates. It is not necessary to plan for a 2-hour meeting. We will gather briefly in the auditorium to provide a welcome and updates after which we'll release families throughout the building to visit classrooms. Consider this event as an "orientation" for returning students.
Thank You!
Darryl James Powell
