Lumpkin County Schools

Thank you, Dollar General of Dahlonega, for your donation of coloring books and crayons for some of our elementary students! We appreciate your support of our school system and our students. #TR1BE

Some of our students are having fun with STEAM during their distance learning days. Check out these two projects from LCES students! #BuildWithBreaux

Our partners at Georgia HOPE offer some great resources and advice to our families during this time.

When Northeast Georgia Health System reached out this week asking if we had any goggles we could donate to them, our teachers didn't hesitate to take action. As a collective effort from all five schools, we donated 475 goggles to NGHS! #TR1BE

𝐀 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐚 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄: If your child is experiencing any sadness, anger, frustration, anxiety, or any other mental health symptoms, please know that there is help. Even during COVID-19, your child can receive mental health support through the phone or video. Simply contact Georgia HOPE at 706-279-0405 OR https://gahope.org/make-a-referral/. We at Georgia HOPE have learned along with you that children will not be returning to school for the remainder of the school year. We always depend on educators and other community partners to identify and link children and families in need to our services daily. Typically, we see a large spike in referrals prior to school letting out for the summer which allows us to serve families when school is not in session. Without your referrals we have no way of knowing which children are at risk of suffering alone until they are able to return to school this fall. We are continuing to offer all of our services while following appropriate CDC guidance to keep ourselves and clients safe.

Here's to hoping you are finding as much fun during our spring break as you all did on our last Family Fun Friday! #TR1BE

We are providing additional mental health resources for anyone may need them.

As a parent during these trying times, we want to help you as you help your children. As always, please let us know if your children need a counselor to talk with during these days and weeks. We are available to them. #TR1BE

Based on Governor Kemp’s orders, Lumpkin County Schools will remain closed through April 24, 2020. We will continue online learning each week excluding spring break. We will observe spring break April 6-10, 2020. We hope to be back in school on April 27, 2020.

Tomorrow is the end of our second week of distance and online learning in Lumpkin County, and we are asking teachers to suspend assignments for one day. Let's have a Family Fun Friday! Share your photographs and paragraphs here on our social media platforms. #TR1BE

LCHS Healthcare Science classes contributed to the cause by donating medical supplies to Northeast Georgia Health Systems. Thank you Mrs. Gilleland for your work on this partnership!
