Dear Trail Students and Parents,

The 2023-2024 academic year has begun!  This academic year features an exciting balance of facilities and curricular upgrades.  Students will benefit from our new elementary playground, Big Ideas math textbook series, cutting edge technology upgrades, resurfaced gymnasium floors, elementary STEM program, and within the next year the Recreation and Wellness Center, just to name a few.  These investments in our students represent the commitment we have made to help all students develop to their fullest potential.

Our primary scholarly focus over the next few years centers on our Comprehensive Plan objectives of expanding Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), improving standardized test scores in Math and English Language Arts, and broadening School Safety measures.  All of which are based on and flow from the Lackawanna Trail Mission Statement below.  Please take a moment to read and reflect upon it.

The Mission of the Lackawanna Trail School District, in collaboration with our community, is to establish and support a safe and enriching learning environment where all students develop to their fullest potential. Our curricular and extracurricular programs promote a culture of inclusion, diversity, open-mindedness, and mutual respect for each other’s ideas and backgrounds.  Our students are empowered to develop into productive, responsible, respectful, civic-minded, critical thinking members of a global community who possess the skills to excel in a changing and interconnected world.

Let’s have a great school year!

Sincerely,

Matthew Rakauskas

Superintendent
