November is Georgia Family Engagement in Education Month! 💜🍎
This month, we’re celebrating the vital role families play in helping children learn and grow. When schools and families work together, students thrive—both in school and in life.
The Lumpkin County School System invites you to explore our Family Engagement Calendar, filled with fun, meaningful activities you and your child can enjoy all month long (and beyond!).
As State School Superintendent Richard Woods reminds us, “Stay connected: read with your child, talk about what they’re learning, attend school events, and take time to listen. Every small gesture helps your child succeed.”
