Dear Lackawanna Trail Community,

As we prepare to close out the third marking period and begin the final marking period of this academic year, I’d like to overview some of the great things happening at Lackawanna Trail. We have so many areas to celebrate, and so much to look forward to.

Our students have been making steady progress academically as evidenced by above average standardized test scores and a competitive School Performance Profile, our student athletes and those invested in the performing arts have been excelling. As a result, Lion Pride has grown stronger than ever. The district is now at the midpoint of our Comprehensive Planning process, and we are on track to meet our three overarching objectives of improved Academic Performance in Math and English Language Arts, expanded Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and enhanced School Safety.  Working toward these objectives has truly been a collaborative effort among our Board of Directors, Administration, Faculty, Support Staff, parents, and students.

Prior to the beginning of the 2024-2025 academic year our district website will be redesigned with the goal of providing a new look with a more user friendly approach.  I’m optimistic this will improve communication and access to relevant information.

The construction of the Lackawanna Trail Wellness and Recreation Center is on pace for completion in the spring with a grand opening in the summer.  If you are interested in making a donation to support the purchase of exercise and fitness equipment please click on the following link: Community Foundation of the Endless Mountains – Lackawanna Trail Student Health & Wellness Fund

Thank you for your patience as we used our first Flexible Instruction Day in February.  Overall it was successful for our students, and we will get better at it over time.  Your feedback is welcome.

 

Sincerely,

Matthew Rakauskas

Superintendent
