๐ข Attention Families!
Next week, some of our students in grades 4โ8 will begin taking the VALLSS assessment. If your child is required to participate, you should have received an informational letter last week.
โ๏ธ This assessment helps us better understand how students are progressing in reading and spelling.
โ๏ธ Results give teachers valuable information to support each childโs literacy's growth.
โ๏ธ Not all students will participate, but those who do will take it during the school day.
Thank you for encouraging your child to do their best and get a good nightโs sleep before testing days! ๐๐

Picture Day for LPJ Junior Cougars will be September 3, 2025. Packets were sent home by students with all details.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We have had a great start to the new school year and have enjoyed welcoming students back as they Return to Learn with Excellence! We would like to remind parents that Surry County Public Schools will be closed for the Labor Day Holiday on Friday, August 29th, and Monday, September 1st.
As we begin this academic year, we want to emphasize the vital role that consistent attendance plays in your child's educational success. Regular attendance is not just about being present in the classroom; it's about ensuring that your child doesn't miss out on crucial learning experiences and opportunities to develop important academic skills.
We understand that occasional absences are unavoidable, but we encourage you to prioritize your child's attendance as much as possible. If your child is facing challenges with attendance, please reach out to us. We are here to support you and our connection, collaboration, and communication will ensure the CARE needed for our Cougars to be successful in school and in life!
Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to your child's education. Let's make this school year a fantastic one, filled with learning and success!
Cougar Pride in Every Stride!

Letโs start the year strong by making reading part of your everyday routine. Reading isnโt just homework, itโs an adventure waiting for YOU! ๐โจ
Here are a few ways to make daily reading fun at home:
๐ Pick a book youโre excited about (sports, mystery, fantasyโyour choice!)
๐ Set aside just 20 minutes a day ๐
๐ Find a cozy reading spot (bonus points if itโs a blanket fort ๐ฐ)
๐ Talk about what you read with a friend or family member ๐ฌ
This year, letโs open more books, grow our brains, and let our imaginations fly! ๐
