Summer Learning 2024 officially kicked off this morning! Buses were rolling and the hallways of Cypress Springs Elementary were full! We’re excited to see what memories will be made over the next few weeks.

Over 7,000 educators traveled to New Orleans this week for the Louisiana Department of Education Teacher Leader Summit. Among those 7,000 were some of our own from Lincoln Parish School District!

Not only did they actively participate in numerous sessions, but many were also asked to be speakers during these sessions! It's opportunities like these that truly showcase the commitment and expertise within our district.

We couldn't be prouder to see our educators at the forefront of shaping the future of education in Louisiana!

Today we honor and remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and dedication have shaped the freedoms we cherish today. May we never forget and always remember.

Whew, talk about some busy hornets! Dubach Elementary students have been buzzing with activity lately! Students have put on an art show, visited the children's museum, challenged their teachers to a competition, received rewards for reading, and learned all about robotics and coding!

We couldn't be prouder of those hardworking hornets. Keep up the amazing work, Dubach Elementary!

What do you get when you combine oatmeal, dish soap, glitter, apple sauce, and a big orange tractor?! If you're in Simsboro, you get a celebration! Yesterday K-5 students in Simsboro Elementary held their annual field day and celebrated raising an impressive $5,262.67 for the American Heart Association!

In February Simsboro Elementary students participated in a nationwide event called Kids Heart Challenge. They made goals to be more active, drink more water, and eat fruits and vegetables, along with other health goals to get their hearts active. The school-wide goal was $5,000. They raised above and beyond that with a total of $5,262.67 this year! Mr. Blachier told students if they met their goal this year, he would get slimed. Students were more than happy to take him up on that offer!

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is officially OPEN for all 1st-12th grade students who are new to Lincoln Parish School District! Click the link below to begin your registration process!

Kindergarten through 2nd grade students competed in field days at Glen View and Hillcrest! Between snow cones and water balloons, these students stayed cool and looked cool doing it! Glen View students even gathered together to show their school pride from a bird's eye view.

Last fall the LDOE released the statewide school performance scores. After doing some digging, an error was found that changed Glen View Elementary to a B school! We are excited to announce that Lincoln Parish School District now has SEVEN B schools within the district!

Last week fourth-grade students at Cypress Springs Elementary participated in a career fair! The event provided a unique opportunity for students to learn more about various careers and interact with community leaders who chose those professions.

Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to engage with professionals representing different fields, including healthcare, public service, banking, and more. Interacting with these leaders allowed students to ask questions and learn about the educational pathways and skills required for different professions.

“Lincoln Parish schools strive for students to be career and/or college-ready. Yes! As early as 4th grade, we want to prepare our students for success upon graduation!” Mary Kilgore, principal at Cypress Springs noted. “Our first career fair was to take place in March of 2020. Due to the COVID school closures, it was canceled. This year, we decided to plan for it again. It was an exhilarating event for the students! They were so eager to visit each booth to learn about various career paths that are right here in their community!”

The success of the career fair serves as a testament to the collaborative spirit and support that Lincoln Parish Schools receives from the community. Students witnessed firsthand that not only do their teachers want them to be successful in life, but other community members are in their corner and willing to help them make those decisions.

This week schools around Lincoln Parish School District celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week. We are so blessed and honored to have some of the best educators in the state/nation right here in Lincoln Parish. Thank you to all of our teachers for going above and beyond every day to provide a quality education to the students in Lincoln Parish!

During Library Auxiliary, the 4th and 5th grade students at Ruston Elementary School conducted a mini research project about their very own mascot, the lion. They learned about using MLA format and used it to cite their sources which included an article, World Book Online, and a nonfiction book. For the culminating activity, students showed their creativity by coloring lion faces. They even incorporated Earth Day, by reusing discarded books and magazines to construct the manes for their lions!

Summer is almost here and that means longer days, fun in the sun, and best of all for kids, no homework! For some Louisiana students receiving free or reduced-price school lunches, summer also means the loss of nutritious school meals. In addition to the newly expanded summer feeding options, SUN Bucks help fill that gap by providing grocery benefits to help families put meals on the table when schools are closed.
