SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE
A NEW VISION
Lawrence County Schools:
“ALL IN” for building relationships to personalize learning that inspires, challenges, and equips students to dream, to persist, and to succeed.
Welcome back to ALL Pups, Dragons, Wildcats, and Bulldogs!!!
The 2018-2019 school year for Lawrence County Schools begins with a new vision for our district. Over the next three years, we will be working toward a personalized learning model that customizes the learning environment for each student based on his/her strengths, needs, motivations, and goals. To begin, let’s dissect the vision statement by discussing various phrases that are included within it.
* “ALL IN” has become a phrase that people identify with the Lawrence County School System. It represents the expectation that each student and staff member give their absolute best in every situation and to every task.
* In order to address individual needs and interests of each student, we must continue to focus on building relationships with both students and parents.
* Paraphrasing a definition published by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a school/school system will personalize learning by addressing the skills, needs, and interests of each student through customizing the learning environment.
* An educator inspires students by giving them the courage to dream and the support to help that dream become a reality.
* Life often gives us barriers that seem unsurmountable. An educator must provide challenges that cause students to persist in order to reach their goals.
* Each graduate of Lawrence County High School must have confidence that he or she can achieve any goal. Each parent must have the assurance that our school system equips each student to succeed after graduating.
This vision embraces the idea that student success can be achieved through personalized learning. Personalized learning requires that we not only know each of our students, but we also take the time to develop individualized plans based on each student’s needs and strengths.
It’s a new school year with a new vision for our students and our district. Are you…
All In,
