As each of you should be aware, the Commonwealth of Virginia has established that we will begin each school day with one minute of silence. Accordingly, it is important that each of us understands our rights and responsibilities under this law. The words of the law say in part: In order that the right of every pupil to the free exercise of religion be guaranteed within the schools… (and) subject to the least possible pressure from
the Commonwealth…, the school board of each school division shall establish the daily observance of one minute of silence in each classroom… During… (the) one-minute period of silence…each pupil may, in the exercise of his or her individual choice, meditate, pray, or engage in any other silent activity that does not interfere with, distract, or impede other pupils in the… exercise of (their) individual choice.Thank you for your attention.
LCPS centers equity as one of its foundational core values. For our community, equity means being committed to providing a safe, supportive, inclusive, affirming, and respectful environment for each student and staff member that fosters success, growth, and academic rigor. The cultivation of this environment requires us to reject and condemn the use of hate speech, racial slurs, antisemitism, and any action or behavior that discriminates based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, gender expression, socio-economic status, religion, ability, or other cultural identities or expression. Such non-inclusive speech, behavior, and actions do not reflect who we are. We embrace and value the unique identities, backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and needs of each student and employee. Celebrating our diversity is important and helps define us as a school
division. Demonstrating the courage to address inequities and remove barriers represents an integral part of our collective effort towards excellence in education. Equity is the vehicle that leads to greater access, opportunity, and equality, so that each student is empowered to make meaningful contributions to the world.
From the Computer Room: If you dropped off a broken Chromebook last school year and still have a loaner, stop by the Computer Room today with your loaner to pick up your repaired Chromebook. All NEW 8th graders, come to the Aux Gym to pick up your Chromebook starting at 9:00. All NEW 7th graders will need to wait to get your Chromebooks. We will let you know when they are ready, hopefully later today or on Friday.
