It’s that time of year again! Laurens District 56 is kicking off their school year **a tad earlier** than usual. Students are heading back to the classroom this week, marking the second year of their **modified schedule**, which boasts not just an early summer start but also a **well-deserved break** in October.
One of the key highlights this year is the district’s **fully staffed transportation crew**. With nearly 30 buses ready to roll and **dedicated drivers** ensuring everyone gets to school safely, parents can breathe a bit easier.
Principal Johna Finley proudly announced efforts at their **child development center** aimed at making life easier for 4K students. This year, they’re focused on giving these young learners a better understanding of what a full school day entails, **setting them up** for success from the get-go.
Absenteeism has been a concern, but the schools are proactively working on it. Thanks to **committed staff**, they’ve managed to drop absentee rates by calling and educating parents about the importance of being on time and present every day. It’s all about turning up and turning out!
For those with little ones entering 5K, a warm note: parents are encouraged to **walk their children** in on the first day. Look out for snapshots and photos of these special moments, as the district believes in fostering **transparency and connection**.
With safety being paramount, the district has landed a **Safe School grant** that’s enabling significant security upgrades. New entrance setups at every elementary school are part of this initiative. However, be prepared for a bit of construction as things get underway.
Welcome back to school, Laurens District 56! Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, and **community spirit**.
