TR1BE, With so much uncertainty remaining as we navigate our days, weeks, and months, we know that many questions are swirling concerning the plans of our upcoming school year. We could put out a plan today that would likely need to change multiple times as health concerns and guidance changes over time. We are not behind the eight ball. Rather, we are taking things seriously, studying our options, and formulating research-based plans of action for the new school year. Our leadership team in Lumpkin County is currently meeting through email, virtually, and in person to work out details for the following areas: student and staff wellness, facilities, technology, school nutrition, transportation, instruction, assessment, and virtual learning. These focus groups will work in coordination with our school board to publish a final plan in mid-July. In the meantime, it’s important for you all to know this—student safety has been, is, and always will be our top priority in Lumpkin County. As parents, you will have a face-to-face option and a virtual option for your children. What those look like will be determined by the findings of our focus groups over the next month. Rest assured, we are working tirelessly to provide the best education in the safest environment possible for your children. We know other school systems are posting their tentative plans now, and we want you to know that we aren’t asleep on this topic. We like to take a calculated, strategic approach to our planning process. If you have questions or concerns that you would like to share with any of the focus groups mentioned above, please email jason.lemley@lumpkinschools.com or rob.brown@lumpkinschools.com. We will be sure to pass along your correspondence to the focus group leader. Thank you for your continued support of Lumpkin County Schools!

We know it hasn't been the easiest ending to a school year, and we want to wish all our students well as they head into summer break. Come out next Wednesday and let us send you off from a distance. Check out our attached plan. We can't wait to see you next Wednesday afternoon!

Parents and students- please read the attached message about returning items that belong to the school, cleaning out lockers, and more. Please call the school with questions.

We love our teachers at LCMS. I know for a fact that they miss you. As we start teacher appreciation week this week, show them how much you appreciate them by sending them an email. Tell them how much you enjoyed their class, remind them of a funny story from their class this year, or just say hello. I know they’d love to hear from you.

Lumpkin County Schools' Teacher of the Year Tori Jones going in the extra mile (literally) to reach her students during this time of distance and online learning! Thanks, Mrs. Jones! #TR1BE

Mrs. Jones had her STEAM students create a roller coaster during at home learning. Jayzen Johnson did awesome as his project had multiple roller coasters, the marble dropped into a vortex at the top, and randomly comes down one of the four ramps. He even added curves and loops!
