🎓🌟 October is National Principals Month, and today we recognize the incredible principals leading our high schools! From cheering on students at Friday night games to ensuring they’re prepared for graduation and beyond, our high school principals play a vital role in shaping futures. They balance academics, athletics, the arts, and career readiness, all while guiding students through some of the most transformative years of their lives. To our Lake County Schools high school principals: thank you for your leadership, dedication, and unwavering belief in every student’s potential. 💙

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. #HereTodayReadyforTomorrow

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

We are excited to announce that four Lake County Schools have been recognized for successfully building a schoolwide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. PBIS is an evidence-based three-tiered prevention framework designed to improve and integrate all data, systems, and practices impacting student outcomes. National research shows that full implementation of PBIS leads to reduced exclusionary discipline and improved student and teacher outcomes by enhancing school climate, acknowledging appropriate behavior, and using data to identify supports. Congratulations to the following schools for being recognized by the FLPBIS Project as a PBIS Model School: Pine Ridge Elementary, Gold; Rimes Early Learning and Literacy Center, Silver; Astatula Elementary, Silver; Mount Dora High, Bronze.
