LUES FAMILY FOCUS: ATTENDANCE
Proactive Planning- All children will have days they are sick or need to go to an appointment, but try to plan vacations and appointments during school breaks when possible to minimize disruptions to your child's education. Always send an excuse for illness.
Important Update from Toombs County Schools: After consulting with the local Emergency Management Agency and the Toombs County Sheriff's Office, we have determined that hazardous road conditions caused by snowfall and persistent sub-freezing temperatures—leading to dangerous icing—make school travel unsafe. To prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and community, schools will remain closed on Thursday, January 23, 2025. The plan is to return to normal school operations on Friday, January 24, 2025. Our school transportation department will reach out to families of bus riders affected by impacted roads to ensure safe travel to school on Friday.
LUES FAMILY FOCUS: ATTENDANCE
Stay Involved- Keep lines of communication open with the school. This will allow your child to see that you value education and will make you aware of any issues that could affect their desire to attend school. Please contact us anytime- 912-526-5816.
One of our STEM groups at LUES last week was cutting and coloring snowflakes ❄️; students had a choice of 3 different designs of snowflakes to create, and they loved this activity! It was just in time for our snow day! #shine

LUES FAMILY FOCUS: ATTENDANCE
Continuity of Learning- Skills and concepts build on each other each day. Missing school disrupts the continuity of learning and makes it difficult for students to grasp new concepts and stay on track. Many students feel overwhelmed after missing school because the learning has continued without them, and they now have to learn what was taught when they were gone, as well as what is being taught today.
