Welcome Back to School!

Dear Students, Parents, Employees, and Community Members,

The Lunenburg County School Board and I would like to welcome you!!! We believe there is no more important work done in our society than that of educating our children. Our commitment to the community is to promote every educational opportunity and a safe and nurturing environment for all of our students. We are very proud of our school district and the collaborative efforts made in and out of the classroom that impact our students for a lifetime. We believe education is the shared responsibility of the school, home, and community. The shared commitment of stakeholders to foster the development of a student’s physical, social, emotional, ethical, and moral competence will prepare our students to be productive members of our society. It is our belief that a student’s education is a joint effort between the school and home. I invite all patrons to communicate with school staff.

Our focus continues to be on engaged learning which is why our new instructional framework and digital conversion are based on 21st Century learning that is student centered and promotes higher order critical thinking. I am blessed to serve as the Superintendent in a place where the motto is “To Make the Best Better.” We are a community that values maximizing the potential of every student by teachers and staff who truly care about the success of children and one another!! Reflecting on the successes and challenges of this past school year makes me realize that we are on our way to reaching our goals but there is still work to be done. We were met with many challenges but we have made notable gains.

With increased student achievement for all students as our highest priority, we will continue to work diligently in-house with our administrators and instructional staff to make a difference in the lives of all of our students. Our students are really showing progress and we will continue to push for even better results in the 2016-17 school year. The staff continues to transition to deeper implementation of the S.O.L.’s and improved instructional strategies that motivate students to learn while keeping them fully engaged. All professional development days are dedicated to intense learning of the best practice strategies for all staff. Throughout the year, we will continue the practice of assessing the needs of our students and implementing interventions that increase results where needed. We will continue to promote alternatives for gifted students such as honors, advanced placement, and dual enrollment, as well as, alternatives for those that need non-traditional opportunities such as virtual learning and strict discipline learning environments. We truly believe that all of our students have the potential to become productive citizens. The board and I are committed to making sure that every student receives an education that will prepare them for the next level and beyond.

You will not find a more committed school district despite limited resources etc. that provides exemplary service to our students and families. We understand the needs of our students and are determined to provide every opportunity for success. We have many great traditions in our school district which include a well-rounded curriculum, diverse course offerings, successful extra-curriculum activities, and a wonderful, hardworking and dedicated staff. We will continue building partnerships with the community and are adhering to serve our students and look forward to “Making the Best Better” during the 2016-2017 school year. With extraordinary enthusiasm and excitement we look forward to a great school year!!!

Charles M. Berkley, Jr.
