🔈 MOCK School bus accident
This morning, Tuesday October 29th, the LCS Transportation Department is conducting a mock school bus accident at 10 a.m. at LCHS. Emergency personnel will be on scene participating in the drill.
👉 We will post an update when the drill is over and the school has returned to its normal schedule.

👉 Thank you for cooperation and understanding during this important exercise.
At the conclusion of the First 9 Week Grading Period (Oct 25, 2024), Lincoln County Schools will be sending home a “Student Attendance Report” for each student. The report will display your student’s Attendance Rate along with an indicator of Green, Yellow, or Red based on their attendance. Green indicates an attendance rate of 95.1-100% which reflects 2 or less absences. Yellow indicates an attendance rate of 90.1-95% which reflects 2.5 – 4 absences. Red indicates an attendance rate of 90% or less which reflects 4.5 or more absences. This report does NOT represent excused and unexcused absences but simply present or absent. Chronic Absenteeism and Truancy are two different attendance measures. Truancy focuses on compliance with school rules of submitting excuses for absences where Chronic Absenteeism emphasizes academic impact of missed instruction and being present at school. Lincoln County Schools strongly encourage students to have an attendance rate of 95% or higher (or no more than 9 total absences during the entire year). Research strongly supports that attendance rate is one of the major factors of student success with achievement and our goal is for all Lincoln County students to be given the best opportunity for success and it begins with great school attendance.

📖 History on display 📝
The French and Indian War is one part of a larger global conflict called the Seven Years' War, which lasted from 1756-1763.
📜 Though war was not formally declared until 1756, armed conflict began in 1754 as disputes over land claims in the Ohio Valley lead to a series of frontier battles between the French and British. Both sides received support from various Native American tribes.
Sophomore history students at LCHS have been researching this war to learn more about the causes, battles, and the effects the war had in North America.
This week they made PowerPoints and Posters about their research and presented them.
