🌟📘 October is National Principals Month, and today we celebrate the outstanding principals leading our middle schools and K–8 schools!

Whether they are guiding students through the excitement and challenges of middle school or supporting learners from their very first days in kindergarten all the way through 8th grade, these principals are building strong bridges to the future. Their leadership helps students grow academically, socially, and emotionally during some of the most important years of development. To our Lake County Schools middle and K–8 principals: thank you for your dedication, vision, and commitment to helping every student thrive. 💙

Absenteeism is a lost opportunity to learn. We can’t afford to think of absenteeism as merely a lack of compliance with school rules. Let's work together as a community to make regular school attendance a priority.

When a student misses so many days that they are chronically absent (10% or more days) it means the lack of engagement in learning is an ongoing problem that needs to be addressed. Chronic absence affects all kids, not just the absent ones. #HereTodayReadyforTomorrow
