🌟💡 October is National Principals Month, and today we proudly celebrate the dedicated principals leading our specialty schools. These schools provide unique opportunities for students through virtual learning, flexible scheduling, specialized programs for diverse learning needs, and supportive environments that help students overcome challenges and succeed. Our specialty school principals show incredible innovation, compassion, and commitment as they ensure every student is given the tools, guidance, and encouragement to thrive. Their leadership helps open doors and create pathways that honor the individual journeys of our learners. 💙 To our Lake County Schools specialty school principals: Thank you for your vision, your care, and for helping students discover their full potential.

Kindness is powerful. 🌟 A simple act of kindness can change someone’s whole day—and help prevent bullying before it starts. This month, let’s challenge ourselves to choose kindness every day.

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

Health-related absences are a top reason students miss school, yet sometimes they can be avoided. Partner with health providers to keep students healthy and in school! #HereTodayReadyforTomorrow

A new state law -- House Bill 1105, which was signed into law on July 1 -- stipulates how and when students can use personal electronic devices during the school day in an effort to support focused learning in all Florida public school classrooms. The law says:
• Elementary and middle school students may not use a cell phone or other personal electronic device at any time during the school day.
• High School students may use cell phones and other personal electronic devices during instructional time only if a teacher gives permission for educational purposes.
• Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis for students with an IEP, specific health needs, or English language learners (ELL).
Our Code of Student Conduct has been updated to reflect this law. See the Code of Student Conduct at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RZS1-ppNFeQ_vSnOamPTlz0voX11U5Bs/view?usp=sharing . Thank you for working with us to create and maintain more focused learning environments for our students.
