SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!

Good afternoon, The day has arrived...School is out for summer!  I want to thank everyone for a most successful school year.  Test scores are coming in daily and they are great!!  LCHS won another State Championship in Softball this week and won the Volleyball State Championship last November.  What a Year!!  Our students are excelling in the classroom and excelling out of the classroom.  We are already planning for the 23-24 school year and are anxious to share some exciting things with you soon.  But for now, enjoy the Memorial Day weekend as we remember those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom we enjoy in the United States.  I'm honored to be your Superintendent of Schools! LCHS Graduation is at 8pm EST tonight at the football field. Sincerely, Kyle Peddie Liberty County Superintendent of Schools

Liberty County Schools are OPEN on Monday, May 1st

Good afternoon, All Liberty County Schools will be OPEN on Monday, May 1st. We were very blessed not to have any damage at any of our schools due to the tornado, especially at Hosford School which was in its path.  A very special thank you to our Liberty County officials who have been non-stop in insuring our roads are open and our utilities restored.  I’m so proud and thankful for the clean-up effort from our county, especially by many of our own LC students.  We indeed live in the greatest place on earth!  See ya on Monday! #panthers #dawgs #libertystrong Sincerely, Kyle Peddie Liberty County Superintendent of Schools

Helping Children after a Severe Weather Event

We are very thankful that our students and staff were not harmed in yesterday's severe weather event however these types of events can be very frightening, and the days, weeks, and months following the storm can be very stressful for children and adults.  Everyone reacts differently to a severe weather event and its aftermath depending on their age, developmental level, and prior experiences. Children's reactions to the severe weather event and its aftermath are strongly influenced by how their parents, teachers, and other caregivers cope during and after the storm.   Attached are some resources to help recognize the common reactions and ways we can address them with our students. Most children, with the help of social support systems, will be fine. However, some may have reactions that require additional professional help.  If your child's reactions continue or worsen after a week or more we encourage you to seek additional support for them.   The district's Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Maggie Foran, is available should you have questions about your child's response/recovery as well as to assist you with locating additional resources to support your child's.  You can reach her by contacting your child's school or at maggie.foran@lcsb.org

ALL LIBERTY COUNTY SCHOOLS CLOSED TOMORROW, APRIL 28TH

Good evening, Thanks so much for your patience today.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.  I have been at Hosford School for the last 3 hours with no internet and very limited cell service.   All of our Liberty County students and staff are safe and sound .  I've just returned to my office in Bristol.  It appears a tornado came right through Hosford and the most damage is north of Hosford.  Talquin Electric has crews everywhere trying to make repairs.  Trees are down in many places.   Currently there is no power in Hosford/Telogia and there is no power at Tolar School.  Due to the uncertainty of power restoration and to give you time to make arrangements for your children, I am closing ALL Liberty County Schools tomorrow, April 28th.   This will also give us time to assess bus routes and check for any damage in our buildings. Please keep in your thoughts and prayers those who lost homes today.  I will inform you regarding school for Monday via ParentSquare and on my personal Facebook page on Sunday afternoon.  I'm very grateful to all our school personnel who did a fantastic job today keeping our students safe during and after the storm.  We have the best employees!!!   Sincerely, Kyle Peddie Liberty County Superintendent of Schools
